FAQs

  • How many guests may we have at our wedding? The maximum capacity at Rocklands is 120, including the couple.

  • May we rent a tent to accommodate more guests? At this time, tents are not permitted.

  • Is the Bank Barn air-conditioned? No, it is not. There are large doors on either side so it does get great cross-ventilation. This is why we only book weddings April - June and September - November. The only climate controlled spaces at Rocklands are the Stone House and the Tasting Room.
