Ceremony
$495
This is your dream day, and so you can rent any space/room inside or outside the Walker House for the wedding ceremony (up to 3 hrs.). The House staff arranges the room for you- we remove tables, chairs and wall art, and then reset the room with chairs, lectern, and other furniture to suit your vision. You may decorate the room by using stand-alone art, pictures, ribbons, and flowers on chairs, tables, and window wells. Nothing may be affixed or taped to the walls, nor may rice, confetti, glitter, and other throwables be used. Personal items must be removed from the building the day after the event, though the Walker House staff will reset the room and gather personal belongings a few hours after the ceremony. Personal belongings will be boxed/ bagged and kept in safe storage for pick-up the following day.

How We Serve
Appetizers/ Hors-d’oeuvres: We serve them to you and your guests “hot off the grill” as you’re all walking around socializing with one another.
Salad, Buns, Entree: We serve the food family style whenever possible, that is, we place the food on platters and bowls on each table. The food arrives quicker and hotter, and as you and your guests pass the plates and bowls around, you can tailor your meal to your taste and appetite by eating more of one thing, less of another, and you can sample bits and pieces of the other entree (we always serve plenty).
Dessert: We plate desserts separately, and serve them to each guest.

Add-Ons
Wedding Cake
We also have our own in-house cake artist, Lisa Govier, who has created and decorated wedding cakes, cupcakes, and pastries for two decades. Tell her your ideas and she will create the cake of your dreams. You must do a cake testing at the Walker House to appreciate the superior quality of Lisa’s cakes. Wholesome ingredients in the hands of an artist make a huge difference, and because the cake is made in-house you save money. Cost: negotiable.

At the end of the magical evening, you may want to relax on the back patio with friends and family for an old-fashioned campfire until 11pm. We supply the fire ring or chiminea, firewood, chairs, and ingredients for S’mores (marshmallows, graham crackers, Hershey’s chocolate bars and roasting sticks).
