Events at the Fork Inn

For weekend events, a two night reservation at the lodging closest to the venue is required. Overnight guests (family and friends) may stay that lodging or at one of our nearby houses. Only lodging guests may be on premises before or after the hours of your event.

External vendors must have the necessary insurance to enter our property.

Reservation at the lodging(s) closest to the venue is required. Overnight guests (family and friends) may stay that lodging or at one of our nearby houses. Only lodging guests may be on premises before or after the hours of your event.

Only lodging guests and vendors are permitted on property before or after your event. Non-lodging guests are not permitted on property before or after the event. The approximate number of non-lodging guests must be provided at the time of your reservation.

Kitchen use. Kitchens may be used by caterers to warm food prepared off-site, but kitchens cannot be used by caterers to prepare food or wash dishes. Caterers must provide all dishes and utensils and clean them off-site.

A Fork Inn approved attendant(s) must be present during your Event and to assist vendors before and after your event. The attendant will help prepare seating, check-in guests, and assist with parking.

A fully-refundable security deposit (via credit card authorization) based on the size of your gathering is required. The deposit is required 15 days prior to your event. Because you will be in a residential home, not a commercial conference space, furnishings can be damaged. You will be responsible for any damages that occur related to your event even if it exceed the amount of the security deposit. Your security deposit may be charged if the venue is not left as received, trash and/or decorations not removed, or furniture not left as found. If you would like for us to handle trash removal, our fee for taking it to the dump is $200 per truck load. You agree to pay our costs to return the property to the condition in which it was received.

Decorum. Respect for our other guests in the area is required. Guests may access only areas that have been rented for your Event. Music audible from nearby houses must end by midnight if other Fork Inn guests are lodging nearby.

Insurance. External vendors must have the necessary insurance to enter our property. Event insurance and ABC-licensed bartenders is required if alcohol is served.

Parking. Non-Lodging guests attending your Event must park in designated parking lot. The Event lot will be closed at the end of the Event.

Prohibited: Pets, indoor smoking, firearms, confetti, collecting firewood, use of indoor fireplaces or outside fires, or bringing furniture/equipment or moving existing furniture, underage drinking of alcohol, use of kitchens for non-lodging guests.

Professional Event Planner. We welcome professional event planners. For Events of greater than 30 persons, we require you to use one. If you do not have a professional event planner, we can provide one (minimum fee is $150). Our approved event planners are familiar with house showings to prospective guests and vendors; providing list of approved vendors; coordinating logistics with primary guests and all selected vendors (primarily food caterers); and collecting insurance documentation.
