Question 1

Can I have the wedding ceremony on site?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can absolutely have the ceremony on site, and we have a variety of locations on property that would be lovely. There are several outdoor venues, as well as two covered buildings. There is the Feed Bag, which has tables and benches that would be ideal for the rehearsal dinner or reception, and West Lodge, which could be used for the rehearsal dinner, ceremony and/or the reception.

Question 2

What is the maximum capacity for a reception?

Accepted Answer

If you intend to use the covered buildings we recommend a maximum of 150 guests in both The Feed Bag and in West Lodge. If you use a tent, the grounds can accommodate a much larger group. We have approximately 45 acres from which you can select a suitable outdoor or tent location.

Question 3

What if it rains on my wedding day?

Accepted Answer

This is the mountains and weather can be somewhat unpredictable. We recommend you consider an inclement weather option like a tent or arrange to use one or more of the covered buildings on property (The Feedbag and West Lodge).

Question 4

Is There an Event Coordinator or Wedding Planner on Staff?

Accepted Answer

We do not have an Event Coordinator or Wedding Planner on staff. Your event or wedding will be assigned a Camp staff person, but they will not assist you in the coordination or set-up/ breakdown of your event. We advise that you consult the following resources to find a Coordinator or Event Planner that suits your individual taste and budget.

Question 5

Do we need to hire a caterer?

Accepted Answer

We may be able to provide food service but we are not a full-service caterer. We also have a list of approved caterers from which to choose. If you have a preferred caterer, please contact us to have them approved. A full-service caterer provides comprehensive event food service which may include menu planning with tasting and preview, rental coordination, day-of setup, breakdown and clean up.

Question 6

Can I use my own caterer, DJ, Florist and other vendors?

Accepted Answer

Yes, so long as the onsite vendors are pre-approved and fully insured (caterer, entertainment, photographer, transportation). We require proof of this insurance. Plus, we require the event organizer to have an event policy listing Camp Mont Shenandoah as additional insured. We are happy to provide you with the names of vendors.

Question 7

Do we need an ABC License?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you will need to obtain an ABC license to serve alcohol at your event. Please be aware that you will be responsible for the conduct and behavior of your drinking guests. Underage drinking (under 21 years of age) is strictly prohibited.

Question 8

Are there places for guests to stay?

Accepted Answer

There are a variety of lodging options available to you and your guests, including traditional camp cabins as well as climate-controlled cottages.

Question 9

Do you have restrooms or do we need to rent porta-johns?

Accepted Answer

We do have indoor restrooms available. If you require additional facilities please see our Vendor List for recommendations. The placement of all porta-johns must be pre-approved by CMS.

Question 10

Do you have a place where the couple and their attendants can get dressed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, of course. Members of the bridal party may dress in cabins. Other venues on property are available for a fee.
