Thank you for choosing our venue to celebrate your special day—we’re honored to be part of such a meaningful moment in your lives. We’re committed to making your wedding experience as smooth and memorable as possible, and to help with your planning, we’ve put together a list of Frequently Asked Questions below. These resources will guide you through important details and answer common questions so you can feel confident and prepared as your big day approaches.
There is a 199-person maximum capacity inside of the barn. For larger weddings, you can rent a tent and expand the area for tables. The property can only have 300 people total per event. We require the use of a licensed and professional vendor to set up and take down commercial tents.
Yes, usually the time frame is 4 to 8 pm. The time could be changed if needed, but it all depends on the availability of our staff. Please confirm with us that you will be at the venue the day before your wedding. Please know that our staff will not set up any ceremony chairs, arches, or other needed items that day. Those items will be set up on the day of your wedding. 
All the buildings/rooms will be open and available for you. You can leave your corresponding stuff in the rooms/buildings overnight. The tables and chairs for the reception will be set up for you. Our staff member will arrive at the agreed time to place the linen on the tables. 
Our staff member will be around to answer questions and help with whatever you might need, such as an extension cord or scissors. However, as our staff will be completing assigned tasks, he or she is not required to help set up decorations. 
About a month before your wedding, we will email you a link to a Google form with multiple questions. Your responses will guide us to create the table plan we suggest for your wedding. We will send you an email with the table plan and other related details for your feedback or approval. Once you approve the table plan, we will proceed to order the linen (white, ivory, or black).
You are free to hire any vendor for your wedding. We have a list of recommended vendors here.
Yes, we can provide tables and linen (the linen will most likely be the same color as the linen you picked for your tables).
Yes. Please click here to visit a webpage to schedule your visit. We continuously add dates depending on the availability of our staff.
Yes, our sound system (two speakers) can be used via Bluetooth, and we have a microphone. You or your DJ can use them.
Given that it is very difficult to keep track of decorations (people take them by accident, break them, or even donate more and more), we don't have a list or pictures of our decorations. We have a quick video that you can watch here (made in Aug. 2025). You are welcome to schedule a visit to the venue (use this link) and see the decorations in person.
Yes. The outdoor bar has one fridge and one large chest freezer for you to use. The storage room has two fridges as well.
You can be at the venue as early as you want. All the buildings and rooms will be open. However, our staff  will arrive at 9 am in case you need anything. 
If you didn't have the opportunity to set up decorations and details on the day before your wedding, please know that when you arrive in the morning, tables with linen for your reception will be ready for you to decorate.
Usually, this is how the staff helps during the day:

We set up all the tables and chairs for your reception and ceremony. 
If the day before your wedding is available for you to visit us and decorate, all the tables with linen and chairs for the reception will be ready for you to decorate. Chairs for the ceremony, arches, doors, and other items will be set up during the wedding day (not before). Likewise, if you aren't able to set up things the day before your wedding, you can arrive at the venue as early as you want; all the buildings will be open, and all the tables with linen and chairs for the reception will be ready for you to decorate.

Regarding the clean-up process:
•  Please let your wedding party know that all the belongings must be removed from the getting-ready rooms by 8 pm so our team can clean them at that time (rooms will not be available after that). Please plan for this in your day's itinerary and/or designate someone to help with this task. We do not recommend waiting until the start of the dance, so you and your guests can enjoy the dance.
•  After dinner, staff will clear all reception dinner tables of decor and leftover garbage. Any of YOUR decor will be set to the side for you to donate or take home with you at the end of the night.
 
• Staff will remove tables and chairs from the reception area when the dance begins.
• Around 11 pm, staff will start to vacuum the reception dinner area and set up tables for the next event.

The lounge and the refinished granary, perfect spaces for the wedding party to prepare, both have heat and air conditioning. The indoor photography studio that also has the photo booth is both heated and air conditioned. The lower level of the barn has AC and heat. Fans, open windows, and doors help cool the upper level of the barn on warm days.
Divanyx Event Center is not permitted to have guests camp on site. Guests wishing to bring RVs can request more information in advance for advice on some parking solutions.

There is also a virtual photo booth that allows guests' phones to become a photo booth and take candid photos before the wedding and during the wedding day throughout our venue or remotely (over 1000-dollar value). The link and instructions to access this photo booth will be emailed to you once we receive full payment for the venue.

We understand every couple and situation is different and we have got you covered with our flexible payment options. Most couples pay half at signing and half 6 months prior to their event but we allow for payments to be on any term as long as it is discussed and approved by us. If you wish to make payments other than half upfront and half 6 months before your event, all we ask is you discuss this with us and stay in contact with information about your payment plans. No other venue offers flexible payments like we do, but we want to help take the stress out of weddings as much as possible.
