How much time do we have?
You have one hour, including any set-up required (which is usually minimal). Typically, the time starts with gathering and some photography, then the ceremony (usually 15-20 minutes long), followed by more photography. Everything fits very nicely in the space of one hour.

Will we be able to use the Bride's Room?
Use of the Bride's Room is not included with elopement packages. For an additional fee of $300, the bride and bridal party may have use of the Bride's Room for up to one hour prior to the ceremony start time.

Is there air conditioning?
Chase Court is fully air conditioned.

We would like to use live or recorded music for our ceremony. Is that okay?
Absolutely! Electricity is available in the garden for your sound equipment, and we will be happy to provide chairs for your musicians.

We would like to incorporate candle lighting during the ceremony. Are candles allowed, and is there a place for the candles?
Yes and yes! We will be happy to provide a table for your candles, or you may bring your own.

We would like to do a sand ceremony. Is there a table available for the sand vessels?
We will be happy to provide a table for your sand ceremony, or you may bring your own.

What can we expect once we sign the rental agreement?
The officiant will be in touch with you by telephone or e-mail. Your flowers and the photographer will be here waiting for you when you arrive on your wedding day (Standard package only).

Does the rental agreement require both mine and my fiance's signature?
Either or both signatures are fine.

How is parking?
Over 500 parking spaces are available in the PMI Garage on Charles Street (next to the Belvedere), at the surface lots between St. Paul and Lovegrove Streets and on Eager Street, and at many metered and non-metered street spaces throughout the neighborhood. (See our parking page for more information.)

Is Chase Court part of a church?
Chase Court is privately owned and is not connected to or affiliated with any church.

When is the Garden in bloom?
A large part of the garden is planted with evergreen perenials to offer a show of texture, shape, size and color throughout the year. Most of the rest of the garden is planted in perrenials that start earlier in the season (April) and last into November. The ceremony garden has a clearing-in-the-forest feeling that a lot of brides like. Outdoor ceremonies are generally scheduled from the last weekend of April through the last weekend of October, mostly due to temperature considerations.

Will we be the only people on the property?
Yes! We do one event at a time. Chase Court is completely private. The only guests present at Chase Court during your event will be your own.

How is payment handled?
The full fee is paid at the signing of the rental agreement. Payment is by cash or check.

Will a staff member be present during our time at Chase Court?
Yes. It is our practice to give each event our complete attention. Our attention-to-detail service is a signature aspect of Chase Court.

Are there any restrictions regarding music?
You are welcome to use live or recorded music inside and out.

Does Chase Court really look like its pictures?
Yes, it sure does! Give us a call at (410) 727-1112 and come see for yourself!
