While our vineyard is a working farm, we do not currently operate a public tasting room or sell wine. However, our vines provide a stunning, authentic backdrop for your celebration, and we look forward to sharing more of our "estate-grown" journey with you as the vineyard matures.

To secure your date, we require a signed contract and a 1/3 non-refundable date retainer. This retainer is applied directly toward your total investment. We recommend scheduling a private tour first to ensure our space is the perfect fit for your vision.

For all-day rentals, we welcome you to the estate from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM. We kindly request that festivities and music wrap up by 10:30 PM, providing a seamless transition for your send-off and vendor load-out. If you have reserved the venue by the hour, please refer to your contract for your designated block of time, which encompasses all setup and cleanup.

While we provide a venue manager to ensure the facility runs smoothly, professional wedding coordination is not included in the base rental. We highly recommend our In-House Coordination ($700) to handle your timeline and vendor logistics so you can remain fully present in the moment.

No. Whether you are hosting a 200-person wedding, a high school prom, or a 50th-anniversary party, our pricing remains exactly the same. We believe every life milestone deserves the same level of excellence and transparent pricing. 

Yes, you are welcome to serve alcohol. To ensure a safe and sophisticated environment, all alcohol over 5%ABV must be served by a licensed and insured bartender. We also require event insurance (with a liquor liability add-on) to be submitted 30 days prior to your event.  Security is not provided by us but is welcome if you have a high risk/high alcohol event.

Absolutely! Our modern, air-conditioned venue is the perfect indoor alternative for ceremony plans. Because our staff focuses on estate management, the physical "turnover" or "flip" of the indoor space for your reception will need to be managed by your hired vendors or personal wedding party. 

Our standard rates are for all-day access (8:00 AM to 11:00 PM) to ensure you have a stress-free experience. However, for shorter weekday events like corporate meetings or luncheons, please contact us for a custom hourly quote. 

Your Vendors, Your Way: You have the freedom to hire the professionals you love or handle your own catering.

Music Options: To keep things simple, our built-in sound system is available for your use. It is excellent for clear announcements and standard playback. If your vision includes heavy bass and the professional-tier acoustics of a live party, a DJ with a dedicated setup is recommended to achieve that specific sound quality.

For outdoor send-offs, sparklers, bubbles, and real flower petals are all encouraged. To protect our surrounding forest and the health of nearby farm animals, we kindly ask that no glitter, confetti, sky lanterns, or balloons be released outdoors. We recommend eco-conscious choices such as ribbon wands or lavender for a picture-perfect exit that respects our vineyard’s landscape.

(Inside the venue, balloons are perfectly welcome as part of your design!)

We want you to focus on the moments that matter. Our team handles the heavy lifting, including the full arrangement of your indoor tables and chairs, as well as the seating for your outdoor ceremony. When the evening concludes, we take care of the deep cleaning and return any borrowed estate decor to its home. We simply ask that you remove your personal decor, belongings, and any leftover food as you head off to your honeymoon!

To ensure every couple enjoys the same pristine beauty you see today, we ask that you follow these thoughtful guidelines:

Decor & Atmosphere

Clean & Pristine: To protect our natural surroundings, we are a "glitter and confetti-free" zone. This includes small sequins and bead fillers.

Walls & Ceilings: To protect our finishes, please do not hang or tape items to the structure.

Linens: To maintain the quality of our venue linens, we ask that you use safety pins for all decor attachments; please avoid the use of glue dots or tapes. We require that you provide your own linens for any "staining" menus (such as crawfish or heavy sauces). This helps us ensure our house collection remains bright and pristine for every guest.  We provide specialized wind-resistant linens for outdoor use.

The "Petal" Policy: * Indoors: We love the look of petals! Inside the venue, please use silk petals to prevent floor stains or slips. Outdoors: To stay eco-friendly, we only allow real, biodegradable petals on the grounds.

Safety & Comfort

Candles & Sparklers: For the safety of our wooden structures, we do not allow open flames indoors (catering Sternos are the exception). For a grand sparkler send-off, please stay at least 5 feet away from the building.

Smoking & Vaping: To keep the air fresh for everyone, vaping is not permitted inside. Smoking is welcome on the back porch only. We appreciate you using the provided receptacle to keep the grass clear of debris.

Safe Decorating: While glass is beautiful indoors, we require shatter-proof or non-glass decor for all outdoor setups. This policy protects against wind-related accidents and ensures that no broken glass ends up in the vineyard soil or on the lawn.

Vineyard Safety & Care: We enjoy hosting families and simply ask that children be closely supervised at all times. To protect our delicate vines and trellis systems, please ensure no climbing occurs on the vines or wires. We also ask that you leave all grapes on the vine to ensure a successful harvest for the upcoming season.  Tasting is fine, harvesting isn't.

Food, Drink & Logistics

Beverage Service: You are welcome to self-serve beverages under 5% ABV. For anything stronger, a licensed bartender is required. (Please note: per Stone County law, we cannot host "cash bars.")

Kitchen Use: Our kitchen is a wonderful space for warming and prepping your meal. While it isn’t equipped for heavy cooking (no air fryers or roasters), your crockpots are more than welcome.

Coordinating Your Day: We want your rental period to be entirely your own. To protect your privacy and ours, we ask that you and your vendors arrive only once your scheduled time begins. Please ensure someone from your team is present to greet vendors and accept deliveries, as we are unable to sign for or supervise outside items.

Catering & Leftovers: We hate to see good food go to waste! We ask that all remaining food be packed for your guests to enjoy or taken home at the end of the evening. To help us manage our estate waste, please ensure that no full trays or bulk catering items are disposed of in the venue bins.

The Grounds

Respecting the Landscape: To protect our irrigation and sprinkler systems, please keep all vehicles on the gravel.

Overnight Parking: We want everyone to get home safely! If a car needs to stay overnight, please park it by the mailboxes outside the gate and let us know it is there.

To allow you total creative and budgetary flexibility, Deaux Run does not provide staffing for decor setup, rehearsal dinner transitions, table clearing, or food service. Our onsite representative is present to manage the estate’s facilities and ensure the "house" runs perfectly for your event.

We ask that you have a dedicated team (such as a coordinator, professional catering staff, or a crew of family and friends) available to handle the "heavy lifting" and service throughout your stay. However, please know that we are helpers at heart. If you run into an unexpected snag or simply need an extra set of hands for a quick moment, don’t hesitate to ask—we are always happy to volunteer our help whenever possible to ensure your day is a success.

Yes! We offer a "Premier Experience" add-on. You can add a second consecutive day to any reservation for just $500—perfect for decorating early, hosting a rehearsal dinner, or a post-event brunch.
