Do couples get married at Hope Cabins and Banquet?
All the time! Since 2010, hundreds of couples have said their vows here and then celebrated with a reception. With the rental of the Hope Banquet Hall the outdoor pavilion or side yard can be used for wedding ceremonies. There is no extra charge for use of the pavilion for your ceremony. In case of bad weather, couples move their ceremonies into Hope Banquet Hall. 

Suggestion:
If you are holding your ceremony outside, we recommend you have a portable PA system, or have your DJ provide adequate sound. Otherwise, your guests will NOT hear your officiant or vows.

We offer beautiful cabins (additional charge) for the bride and groom to dress in, or your out-of-town guests to stay while in town.

If your ceremony took place outside, we ask that you please designate someone to be sure the grounds are cleared of decorations used there,  live flowers, aisle runner, etc.

Miscellaneous...

There is a weekly Bingo game which takes place in the hall (every Tuesday). The Bingo calling board, refrigerator, and monitors are permanent fixtures, and are covered with a black canvas cloth when not in use. Please do not remove these cloths. You are welcome to put bows or banners over them if you wish.

The dimensions of the hall are 40' x 85' (40' x 62' to DJ stage). There are 5, 8" square posts. The ceilings are 9' high.

We will call you a few days prior to your event to receive final instructions, along with any details.

Your imagination is the only limit in how you choose to decorate the hall. 2 things we request: 1) Please do not use tape, as it leaves a sticky residue on the wood and floor. You may use tacks, putty, etc. (you provide the tools); 2) NO open flames permitted at any time.

The white refrigerator is available for your use. Many people bring coolers and buckets with ice to keep things cold. There is a double sink in the custodial room to rinse out dishes.

Stay with us while you prepare for your special event!
