Question 2

What is your off-peak season?

Accepted Answer

January, February, March, July, and December

Question 3

Do you have accessible facilities?

Accepted Answer

We have guest rooms that are ADA accessible. Please ask your guests to request ADA accessible guest rooms when making their reservation to ensure availability. We do have a wheelchair ramp that can be placed in the Garden Courtyard with access into our Board Room space and Garden Courtyard space. The ADA entrance is located through Miss Scott’s Alley. Please discuss with the Director of Sales prior to the event so that the ramp can be set up accordingly. We recommend coordination with your guests’ needs with the Sales Team in advance to ensure we can accommodate.

Question 4

Can we bring our own alcohol?

Accepted Answer

No. Alcohol must be purchased and provided by our on-site catering partner, Groovin' Gourmets.

Question 5

Do you have on-site parking?

Accepted Answer

We strongly recommend guests to park their vehicles in the city parking garage located 1 block away, as we are unable to advise on the validity of specific street parking spots. The City of Richmond actively enforces all parking regulations, and we strongly advise all guests to read the signs near your vehicle if you do decide to park on the street. The hotel will not be responsible for vehicles being ticketed or towed by the City of Richmond.

Question 6

Am I required to work with in-house catering partner, Groovin’ Gourmets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our in-house catering department through Groovin’ Gourmet handles all private event food & beverage needs including alcoholic beverages. You are welcome to utilize an outside company for desserts should you choose to do so. All food, beverage, and staffing must be provided by Groovin’ Gourmets, www.groovingourmets.com, Michelle Moock, mmoock@groovingourmets.com

Question 7

What happens if there is rain or extreme weather on the day of my event in your Garden Courtyard?

Accepted Answer

For events in our Garden Courtyard, we require our clients to contact one of the approved tent rental companies listed in our proposal to prepare for weather related issues. Please know that if you do not opt for our ‘Full Wedding Weekend Package’ or add on to rent our space the day before your function or the day after your function we could rent the space to another client. In this instance our Sales Team will reach out to you to inform you that another client has secured the space and this could adjust the dates in which your tent can be set-up or broken down may require weekend pick up fees from your chosen tenting company.

Question 8

Where do my event and meeting guests park their vehicles?

Accepted Answer

We offer ‘event only’ valet parking for $10/car. Your guests can pay this individually, or we can master bill the parking to the client’s account. There is also limited on-street parking available. Please provide us with at least 14 day’s advance notice on whether you plan to utilize the hotel’s valet parking service so that we may staff your event accordingly. We also offer overnight valet parking for your guests staying with us for $18/night. **Temporarily Suspended, please contact the Linden Row Sales Department to see if this amenity will be back by the time of your event.**

Question 9

Where do we store event decorations, props, equipment, etc. before an event or meeting?

Accepted Answer

Please keep all equipment and props in your sleeping room until 2 hours prior to event start time, when these items can be delivered into the contracted event space. In some instances, the Board Room may be a space to store items as long as there is not an event in that space the night prior to your event. Please know that we do book back-to-back functions and if outside rentals are being delivered drop off and pick up times need to be coordinated through our Sales Department and may require weekend pick up fees from your chosen rental company. Please coordinate with our Sales Department on this detail.

Question 10

What is the latest ending time for events hosted on the property?

Accepted Answer

As an intimate hotel, we try our best to respect our guests and their desires for a good night’s rest. On that note, all events must conclude by 10pm. There is an hour after the time allotted for breakdown. We can be more flexible on this for clients that have booked 50 plus sleeping rooms including all of the rooms in our Garden Courtyard area. Please chat with the Linden Row Inn Sales Department on this topic should you anticipate booking 50+ rooms at Linden Row Inn during the time of your event.

Question 11

Can we have our guests use sparklers, rice, bubbles, etc. during our event?

Accepted Answer

Props such as bubbles, and glow sticks are permitted. Unfortunately, the use of sparklers and any form of fireworks are not allowed at Linden Row. We also request that rice not be used as it is a hazard to animals and we are an outdoor venue. Any items that require additional clean-up will assess a $250 clean up fee.

Question 12

Am I allowed to use lit candles on the tables for an event?

Accepted Answer

Candles may be utilized only in the Garden Courtyard. All candles must be placed in hurricane glasses, globes or glass votives. If no hurricane glasses, globes, votives or containers are provided for encompass the candles, they can be used for decoration but cannot be lit. If you prefer free standing candles, we recommend clients utilize flameless candles.

Question 13

Can I hang decorations from the trees, walls etc. in the Event Spaces?

Accepted Answer

The extra décor needs to be reviewed by the Sales Manager in advance. We will not allow anything that could possibly be detrimental to our property. Should you want to hang items in the Garden space, we have approved vendors that can do so. Please discuss further with our Sales Department. Any damages caused here will be the financial responsibility of the client.

Question 14

Does Linden Row Inn supply napkins or table linens?

Accepted Answer

We DO NOT supply any table linens or napkins for events in our Garden Courtyard, but they may be rented from one of our approved event rental partners or organized through your chosen catering company. If you are hosting an event in our Board Room, please inquire with the Sales Department on linen requests.

Question 15

Are there restrictions on the amount of power we may utilize for our event?

Accepted Answer

As a historic building, our power supply has some limitations. Our hotel offers three 20-watt outlets in the Garden Courtyard and one 20-watt outlet in the Board Room. When events have bands, extra lighting or AC/Heating devices for a tent, it is best to rent a small generator to guarantee enough electric power if needed. Please inquire with our Sales Department to determine if that is necessary.

Question 16

Is there room for a band?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we do have space for a band if you are renting the Garden Courtyard. Bands typically require a bit more room, so the maximum seating capacity that should be expected would be 80 guests seated on the larger level in the Garden Courtyard with a dancefloor with additional indoor seating in our front/back hallways that are adjacent to the larger level.

Question 17

How do we coordinate the rehearsal if we have a ceremony at Linden Row?

Accepted Answer

The hotel does not provide coordination services for the ceremony rehearsal. The client is able to use the contracted event space for a short ceremony rehearsal when the space is not reserved for another event. Please inform the Sales Department of when you decide to conduct your ceremony rehearsal, and we can let you know if the space is available during that time. Linden Row Inn will not provide any special set-up for the ceremony rehearsal and cannot grant exclusive access to the space unless the client has previously coordinated the use of the space for the ceremony rehearsal.

Question 18

Where does the bride or groom get ready for a wedding at Linden Row Inn?

Accepted Answer

Due to limited space, we are unable to provide a dressing room included in your rental. Many brides/grooms rent a suite for the evening before, as well as the wedding night, to get ready in. Our suites are filled with antiques, mirrors, and vintage décor, which provide great photo opportunities. These are not included in our group blocks but can be reserved with a credit card. We recommended reserving in advance as we only have 7 suites total and they are based on availability over dates requested at time of reservation.

Question 19

What rental items do some couples opt for to supplement the items that the hotel provides?

Accepted Answer

This is a decision which is specific to every couple’s vision/theme for their wedding as well as their budget. In general, some couples opt to rent colored linens, tableware such as glassware, flatware and dishware, back drops for cake or ceremony, additional lighting, heaters, photo booths, and additional decoration items. Please do know that we do not include tableware, table linens or linen napkins in your event space rental. This is an item that can be coordinated through your chosen catering company or through an outside rental company.

Question 20

Does Linden Row Inn provide wedding coordination services?

Accepted Answer

We do not provide wedding coordination services. Please ask for our recommended vendors list, and we will be happy to provide you with some contacts.

Question 21

Is it possible to have a wedding ceremony immediately followed by a reception at the Linden Row Inn?

Accepted Answer

For clients renting the Garden Courtyard, your catering team will pull the tables into the Garden Courtyard area and move the chairs around them. This should be a 30-45-minute transformation. Only the wings and lower level of the Garden Courtyard will be available for guests during this time. Usually, the master of ceremonies makes an announcement at the end of the ceremony saying "please exit to the back and enjoy the appetizers and beverages while the reception space is turned over." Please keep in mind that photographs taking place following the ceremony will need to take place elsewhere than the ceremony location for this reason.
