The Nature Center can accommodate from two to 250 guests for stylish wedding ceremonies, receptions, corporate events, celebration of lives,  and family reunions with a variety of indoor and outdoor event spaces.

We provide setup, tables, up to 200 chairs, PA System for microphone use, access to projector, and WIFI.

Normal event length is five hours.   Events must end at 12 am. Events lasting more than five hours require an additional fee per extra hour, and must be agreed upon in writing before the event.

The setup time can vary from one to three hours before the start time of the event. Any additional time would have to be approved by the Special Events Coordinator.

There is a $500 wedding fee to hold the ceremony at the facility. The fee includes exclusive access to changing rooms for the wedding party, the use of the lawn behind our Pavilion for the ceremony, and one additional hour added to the standard five-hour event length.

Yes, but we would require a licensed bartender to serve the alcohol and would require a copy of their license for our records. It is recommended to have the caterer provide the alcohol since their bartenders are licensed.

You would be responsible for cleaning up any remaining garbage and taking any decorations, food, and alcohol off the premises. LNC staff will break down our tables and chairs.

Cancellation of facility rental must be provided in writing to Special Events Coordinator in a timely manner.  Refunds are considered on a case-by-case basis, and take in to account the amount of advance notice provided.
