Frequently Asked Questions

• Can we have fireworks?

No fireworks or other hazardous items are allowed.

• Can we have sparklers for our sendoff?

Yes! but no sparklers under the pavilion or inside any building. Sparklers must be minimum of 20 inches (please be sure they are properly disposed of, a bucket of sand is great for this) 

• Who is responsible for cups, plates, utensils, napkins?

You will provide these items as they aren't included in your package. There are so many varying themes and decor that we could never find one universal print to match every bride's vision! So have fun with it, personalize to your liking!

• Who takes care of the trash for event end clean up?

Trash is to be bagged and tied up prior to departure the night of the event and Poplar Hill staff will be responsible for the disposal. 

• When does the Venue need to be cleaned from the event?

All décor is to be removed from the property immediately after the event unless otherwise agreed upon. and cleanup to be complete by midnight on date of event. 

• Is Smoking permitted?

Yes, only in designated areas. Smoking areas should be designated if you expect smokers at your event. Please be sure to provide an area for butts to be properly disposed of (a bucket of sand is a good option). We do have a few smoke receptacles on the patio for use. Smoking is NOT permitted inside any building or on the 30x30 deck overlooking the pasture. Butts are NOT to be thrown on the ground, this would be classified as damages and could result in deductions from your deposit.

•  Are we allowed to hang décor?

Absolutely! but please no nailing, stapling or gluing any décor to the arch, pavilion or tables. 

• What can my flowergirl toss down the aisle?

No flower seeds or bird seed are allowed as well as No confetti or small loose paper items. Real flower petals can be thrown however they must be picked up at the end of your event; no artificial petals allowed. This is an outdoor venue so keep this in mind when choosing your décor.

• Will Poplar Hill setup my cake table?

No, our staff will not move or transport your cake. We would hate for something to happen, so we leave this to the Bakery. Please also make sure you have someone who is responsible for moving your cake when it is time or at the end of your event. 

*NOTE: Poplar Hill staff will NOT be responsible for cutting or serving the cake.
