Details to Note:

  • We require a $1m event insurance policy with Heritage Barn listed as the additional insured. Approximate cost - $177

  • New York charges an 8% sales tax rate. Madison County also charges a 4% occupancy tax for all overnight accommodations. 

  • Pricing is subject to change at any time. Your contract rate and terms will be based on the date the contract is written, not the date of the tour.

  • Heritage Barn has no hidden fees. We do have some optional add-ons such as bagged ice, water jugs, trash removal, etc. but no mandatory fees charged later on!

  • A fully refundable $500 security deposit is added to all invoices and held until after the event in case of unexpected damages, last minute add-ons, or required additional cleaning.

  • We have a strict no after-parties policy in the houses.

  • Confetti of any kind is not allowed in the Heritage Barn. Only biodegradable confetti is allowed outside. Fresh or dried rose petals are allowed in the ceremonies, silk petals may not be spread or thrown outside.

  • We do monitor the noise levels for amplified music. We work directly with your DJ or band to ensure the music doesn't get too loud and disturbing for our neighbors. (It is rare that we ask to turn it down and you probably wouldn't even notice!)

  • Caterers are expected to take the trash at the end of the night. If they fail to do so, either they will be invoiced a $100 trash fee or it will be taken out of your security deposit.

  • Real flame candles are only allowed on an approval basis. We do not allow exposed flames. All flames must be protected in a glass cylinder, hurricane, or lantern.

  • All hard liquor must be served by a business with a valid liquor license and the proper permits must be purchased. (Don't worry, typically the caterer or bar service acquires all necessary permits so you don't have to!)
