Yes, we're available for receptions only as well. While you're welcome to host your ceremony with us too, we completely understand if you've already made plans elsewhere.

You'll have 8 hours of rental time included in your package. If you need more time, we can accommodate you for an additional fee of $500.00 plus tax per hour or fraction thereof.

Our venue can accommodate up to 175 seated guests or 250 standing guests.

We do not apply a guest or food and beverage minimum. However, we do apply a revenue minimum, which is determined by the package you choose. Our minimums vary by season and day of the week. Once everything included in your service is calculated, you'll find that most people have met the minimum. If not, you can move your event date or add enhancements to your event.

The new boutique Kissel hotel is right down our street at the corner of 25th and Broadway (very short walking distance). We recommend all our guests stay there, as it makes it extremely convenient for guests to leave their cars at the hotel parking lot and walk to our property, and local restaurants, breweries, and more.

We work with many great vendors, but you are also welcome to bring in your own. The only requirement is that the vendor must have insurance. We rent AV equipment for $175, and we're happy to work with our rental partners to bring in any additional equipment you need. One exception is bar service, which needs to stay in-house.

The price of your wedding is entirely dependent on what you decide is important to you. Factors that affect the cost include the day of the week and month of your wedding, the number of guests, and the package you choose. We offer a straightforward, free custom quote, and we promise not to hide any costs. We'll provide you with a preliminary proposal that includes potential costs with your max headcount so that you can adjust accordingly.

Yes, we allow you to bring your own decorations. We'll help you set up and clean up and can assist with the little details for your event. We have a few basic decor rules: please do not damage the venue by permanently affixing anything to the walls, and we do not allow glitter or confetti on-site.

Yes, we provide an experienced on-site venue manager for the day of your event as part of your venue fee. They'll be there to help coordinate and facilitate your event from start to finish.

Absolutely! We believe in love and inclusivity, and are proud to be a LGBTQ+ friendly venue.

Well-behaved dogs and pets are allowed for your ceremony but must be kept outside and on a leash for their safety. We also welcome service animals.

Yes, we do allow food trucks. While some may not be able to fit through our gate, there's a perfect space right at the gate line where they can park and serve your guests without interfering with your setup within the gate.

Yes, we offer reduced rates between the months of November and March. However, please note that we're an outdoor venue, which means tenting may be required if wet weather is expected. Tenting is an additional cost and provided through our partner rental company.

No problem at all! We can arrange a virtual tour, as well as plan our meetings through Zoom or Google Meets. Our event manager will help you get the visuals you need to plan your event accordingly.

Smoking is prohibited anywhere indoors, but it's permitted outside.

We're happy to host you until 12am. However, per City Noise Ordinance, all outdoor music must cease at 10:00pm. You're welcome to mingle after your event, but there are also several wonderful after-party locations within walking distance, and even on our street (25th St). Your event manager will provide you with all the options available during the season of your event.

Yes, bartenders are included with your bar package.

Yes, you can extend your rental time. Our events package includes up to 8 hours of rental time (including set up and clean up), but we allow up to 10 hours max for a rental period. This means you can add an additional 2 hours to your rental at $500/hour.

Yes, if you're planning a wedding with a hosted bar and more than 125 guests, we require security services for everyone's safety. Rest assured, we'll include this cost upfront in our proposal, so there are no surprises.

The current tax is 10.25%, and the service charge is 22% (subject to change). This charge is an industry-standard fee charged on all events.

Yes, there is a $20 per bottle corkage fee.

All beverages are provided and served by our staff. Outside exceptions may apply for Halal and Kosher requirements. Feel free to contact our Events Manager for more information.

We don't have parking on-site, but we're happy to assist in arranging valet parking for your event. Alternatively, there are several garages and flexible street parking options in the area. We encourage guests to carpool, use shuttle services, Uber/Lyft, or public transportation when possible. Pick up and drop off at our venue is easy and accessible. We also recommend guests stay at one of the local boutique hotels so they can leave their vehicles in the hotel parking garage and walk to and from the event from there.

Yes, we offer a 20% discount on the venue rental fee for 501(c)(3) organizations. Some restrictions apply.

Yes, Forage has a Type 47 Liquor License, and we offer a full bar available in each of our spaces. However, food service is required with a bar.

We allow a 7-day hold for any available date. After the 24th hour on day 7, we release the date back to the public unless a commitment is made with the interested party. To lock in your wedding date, we require a 25% Space Reservation Fee, which can be taken in person or over the phone.

To book your event, we require 25% of the total. 25% is due 180 days before your event, and 50% is due ten days before the event. We accept personal check, cashier's check, ACH transaction, money order, debit card, or credit card for the Space Reservation Fee and Second Payment. The Final Payment can be made by cashier's check, money order, debit card, or credit card. Personal checks or ACH transactions cannot be accepted for the Final Payment. We include a 1.5% fee for any debit or credit card payment. If you're planning an event in less than six months, our On-Site Event Manager can explain your bespoke payment plan.

If you cancel more than one month (30 days) before your event, we can offer up to a 50% refund. If you cancel with less than 30 days notice, we can offer a 25% refund. If you cancel within 10 days of your event, we cannot offer a refund due to vendors' contracts and agreements.

The service charge is a standard fee applied to all of our events. However, tips are voluntary and not included in the fee structure.

Yes, guest counts can fluctuate, but we will lock in your final headcount 10 days before your event. Please note that children aged 3 and under are free, but we still want to know how many will be at your event so we can seat them.

To schedule a tour, please reach out to us on our contact form or email us at megan@foragekitchen.com. During the tour, you'll choose which services you want to add or subtract from any of our wedding packages. You can customize your package at any point in the planning process, and every change you make will impact the overall price.

After booking, you will work with our Events Manager to begin reviewing vendor recommendations and checking availability. Around six months before your event, we'll have a meeting to run through your vision, timeline, and layout. Six weeks before the event, we'll have a 'final details' meeting to cover absolutely everything. Then, 10 days before the event, we'll have a call to finalize the timeline and layout, secure the final headcount, and collect final payment.

Yes, guests are welcome to attend after the meal service. However, please note that our pricing is per person and not based only on food and beverage consumption.

Our Events Managers are experienced wedding planners who will help guide you throughout the planning process. They will provide you with a checklist to reference and will check in with you along the way to ensure that everything is going smoothly.
