FAQ

  • How many people can fit in each building?

    These spaces can be rented for parties of 75 or fewer. The chapel has plenty of space on pews for 75 guests. The school has around 45 chairs at tables inside. The patio at the school has 16 chairs at tables, with plenty of room for additional chairs and tables.

  • What is the parking situation?

    The chapel and school both have parking lots available with plenty of space for the maximum number of people that the buildings can hold. The schoolhouse has more parking than the chapel, and we often recommend most folks park at the schoolhouse and walk through the wooded path to the chapel for events there. Both lots are gravel and Orion Lane is a paved, one lane road.

  • Do you provide food or alcohol?

    We do not cater food or alcohol, but we have great connections with other local businesses who can help you! Having alcohol at your event may require special permitting, depending on the situation.

  • How many bathrooms are there?

    The chapel has a bathroom accessible from outside of the building. Two of the old coat closets in the school were made into bathrooms as well. If you host an event with more than 40 people at the schoolhouse, we require renters to provide portable restrooms outside as well.

  • Are you wheelchair accommodating?

    The schoolhouse is fully accessible for wheelchairs. Unfortunately, the chapel is not. The only entrance into the chapel has four steps leading up to it.

  • Do you have a kitchen?

    The schoolhouse does not have a full kitchen. It does have a regular size dishwasher, double basin kitchen sink, drink cooler, and large cooler for ice. Renters provide their own ice at events.

  • Are there electrical outlets outside?

    The patio at the schoolhouse has ample electrical outlets. The outside porches on the back also have outdoor outlets. Around the left side of the schoolhouse building (closest to highway), there are industrial outlets for food truck and portable restrooms.
