Music & Sound

Most of our couples choose not to use microphones for ceremonies in the Conservatory, the acoustics are great, and it keeps things feeling intimate and unplugged.

  1. If you do want a small speaker for ceremony music or vows, we recommend a portable Bluetooth speaker over a full DJ setup.

  2. For receptions, you’re welcome to use:

    • A DJ (outdoors only)

    • A curated Spotify playlist streamed through our Bose system in the Conservatory

    • Acoustic musicians (like violin, guitar, or harp); a beautiful fit for the natural feel of the venue

    • Our portable ( requires a plug in) bluetooth party speaker + mic

    • We have a great wedding playlist to get you started! Check it out here.

Flowers

To save money on your florals, we recommend checking out Trader Joe’s selection of cut flowers. We also love a classic fresh-picked bouquet of wildflowers! Please DO NOT pick or cut any flowers or greenery from our grounds without asking us first.

Officiant

Many of our past couples have asked a friend or family member to officiate their ceremonies. If you want a loved one to officiate for you, they can get ordained for free at several different places online!

Shoes

Iris Aisle is in the country, so we highly recommend bringing appropriate shoes! High heels will work in the Conservatory, but bring some sneakers or boots to change into when you’re exploring the property - heels can sink into the ground, especially during rainy and snowy seasons.

Food Trucks

Having a beverage trailer, food truck, etc. for your event at Iris Aisle? We strongly encourage your vendors to arrive and set up before your guests arrive, so they don’t have to navigate around parked cars.

Our venue is a small venue, and our parking lot holds a maximum of 35 cars. Food trucks need a good amount of space to maneuver, and this is harder with parked cars in the way!

For this reason, we also recommend hiring food/beverage vendors with trucks/trailers UNDER 30 feet long.

Liability Insurance

We require a liability insurance policy with Iris Aisle listed as the certificate holder for all wedding packages other than our Elopement package and for all small events longer than one hour. You can get a liability policy at eventsured.com, or you can call your preferred home/auto agent and they can help you out! Review your contract for the specific information your agent will need to complete your policy, and don’t forget to let them know if you’re having a multi-day event! We’re happy to help with any questions.
