Are Adventure Sessions Included in the venue rental?

Check out the Adventure Session Price List in our exclusive Wedding Experience Guide for more details.
Land & Water Adventure Session options are not available with the Micro Experience due to time constraints. The Seaplane Adventure Session is available for the Traditional, The Micro & the Minimony at an additional cost.

Each type of experience requires differently levels of physical activity. It's important to know your limits & plan accordingly.
05
Can I take on an Adventure Session later?
Adventure Sessions are designed as a wedding day add-on only. Open House Events are a great way to plan and do some independent trail exploring.
06
What type of photographer / videographer should I get?
An adventure lover! Not all media professionals are up for this type of experience so you'll want to make sure you plan ahead and ask questions prior to booking.
07
Is there a maximum number of people?
Each experience is designed for the couple and their photography / videography team. Typically, that's a maximum of 4 - 5 people. The Seaplane, however, is for the couple only with a 2 person maximum. Your media team can capture everything from the dock, there's just not enough seating in the plane for them as well.
Seaplane
Whether you're looking for a truly unique grand exit, entry or cocktail hour - look no further than the seaplane! One of the perks of over 1000' of true waterfront gives you access to this incredible adventure by air.
