Is The Reverie family-friendly?

Yes! Kids are welcome, and we have some fantastic kids’ bedrooms and incredible play space downstairs, but we ask that they are supervised at all times, especially outdoors, as we’re on a forested hilltop.

Do you offer payment plans?

Do we need a special event permit or liquor license?

Yes, you will need to acquire a special event permit and liquor license if you’re serving alcohol for weddings and larger celebrations.
