FAQs
How do I book?
Just reach out to reserve your date—Saturdays fill up fast! We may ask for a non-refundable deposit depending on your needs & budget.
What events fit?
Birthdays, showers, rehearsal dinners, bachelorette parties, elopements, spiritual retreats, and intimate private parties work beautifully here. It's a great space to mingle & spread out, & then crowd together in the main living room when the guest of honor opens presents or needs to give a toast!
Can I order catering only?
Absolutely! We offer charcuterie boards to pick up or deliver, perfect for your gathering.
How large is the space?
The Hearth is 1200 sq feet, the size of a home. We have one main living room with 4 small side rooms for guests to use. We have a large outdoor space and back paver patio as well. We have two bathrooms.
Can I have a party on a Friday night when you're open?
If you have a small group, we can reserve room 3, which fits up to 10 people. Otherwise, when we are open for business, our quaint little space is first come first serve. We are honored to have regular bible studies in our living room comfortably seating about 16 people and outside in our backyard for even larger groups. We want our space to feel like your home away from home. You are welcome to come take over a space and make it your own.
