more enjoyable than others, or find more suitable for weddings?
Many of your pictures display flowers- are those season-round? :)

During the summer the days are "boringly beautiful" and because of the reliability of the weather
we encourage weddings to book with us.We have flowers blooming at different times of the season and stay pretty green through
mid-October. Spring starts in May. June, July, August and September are beautiful
and never too hot. Early to Mid October is full Fall colors.

However, you mentioned that 50% of your guests reserve sight unseen and are always happy- so that's good assurance!"SHASTA WEDDINGS -
Cancellations are rare and costly to us since we close the weekend to others. And we miss a great party.
But cancellation insurance is included as an option in the Wedding Insurance policy from our
preferred provider and others.

computer or anything that uses a mini jack. It works well and can be used for the ceremony too.
DJ's and bands bring all of their own equipment and do not have access to our system.
They have access to a 20 amp breaker at the Ceremony and Reception sites.
The Ceremony and Reception sites are about 100 feet apart and have ample shade after 4:00 pm.
