Q: How does The Old Rock Church event consultant help in preparing for your wedding?

A: Our event consultant can help you have a stress free event. We will help you with a time line for your special day; we will consult with you about flowers, photographers, music, food, and answer any questions you may have.

Q: What are the options for food at our luncheon*/ dinner* and reception?

A: There are 3 ways you can handle your food for your event.
• You can hire a professional caterer
• You can use our in-house catering menu
• You can bring in your own food. With this option there is a 175.00 kitchen fee. This fee covers our kitchen staff and the use of our glass dishes, cups & forks. Food brought in this way has to be purchased from a bakery, deli or a store like Sam’s Club. Food may not be prepared in a relative's kitchen and family is not permitted in the kitchen area once the food is being plated and served. Our kitchen staff takes care of plating your food, clearing plates from the tables, keeping the serving table replenished and all of the cleaning of dishes and kitchen area.

** All dinners and luncheons require a professional caterer.
