Can I bring my dog to a private event at Longue Vue?

Unfortunately, we do not allow pets of any kind on our grounds.

Do you have any preferred caterers that you work with?

Yes! Our Director of Sales & Marketing, Laren Holzer, keeps a running list of caterers and other vendors we have worked with in the past and can make recommendations based on your vision for your event. Any caterer or vendor beyond this list is also welcome as long as they are able to abide by our venue restrictions listed in this FAQ and as communicated by our Sales & Marketing team during the planning process.

Does Longue Vue allow music at private events?

Clients can bring a small personal speaker for events in the Whim House, Playhouse, or Yellow Garden. Clients may hire a harpist, violist, guitarist, or other string player or string group of their choice. Longue Vue does not allow loud amplified music during private events such as large speakers, a DJ, or large band due to our location within a residential neighborhood.

How late can I host my event at Longue Vue?

Due to our location in a residential neighborhood, all events must end by 6:45PM to allow for guests to exit the property by 7PM at the latest. Longue Vue cannot facilitate any nighttime events.

Where do my guests check in and where can they park?

Guests will pull up to the Gate House upon entry and be greeted by one of our guides. Our guides will then direct guests to one of two parking lots and provide directions from the parking lot to their designated venue space. Guides will also be available to direct caterers and other vendors to your event. We do not allow large buses to enter the property. We allow 23 passenger mini vans and sprinter vans.
