Untraditional Weddings at HideAway

By Rachel Kerr

What comes to your mind when you think of a wedding? Many will picture the basics: an afternoon to early evening ceremony followed by an evening reception. However, HideAway Country Inn offers a different view to the traditional wedding with our “Sunrise Celebration.”

The Sunrise Celebration takes a unique twist by allowing you and your spouse to enjoy wedding bliss throughout the entire day by having the ceremony in the morning and followed with a special reception of breakfast, brunch or a mid-day meal. Instead of the traditional bar, HideAway can set up a unique mimosa and bloody mary bar as well as include other fun twists throughout the day.

Because this wedding is more on the unconventional side, there are some “rules” to keep in mind that we will share with you.

1) Attire
The couple to be may wear the traditional form wedding attire OR they may wear variations such as a short wedding dress for an informal morning wedding. A veil is also optional. The groom may also wear a less formal attire. The key is just to make sure the bride and groom wear the same style of attire to the ceremony.

2) Bridesmaids
Like the bride, the bridesmaid’s dresses may be less formal as well. The key again is to just make sure the bridesmaids compliment the bride’s gown.

3) Guest Attire
Wedding guests should dress in clothing that is light for a morning ceremony. A light colored suit or sundress is appropriate for outdoor morning weddings and women are even permitted to wear hats. Dark clothing is not recommended.

4) Wedding Reception
Similar to a reception, a brunch or early lunch is typically served with a morning wedding. This can include brunch food or appetizers. White wines and champagne are typically served.

XOXO,

Weddings at the Hideaway, are filled with stress, lacking in proper paperwork and filled with numerous stories about every old employee that left the Hideaway and allegedly caused problems. The stories have changed with negative comments to all Bed and Breakfasts in Ohio, to former employee that hacked into the system, to FBI looking into a former employee, to current owner in legal suit against last wedding planner. Why all the problems, it is simple---the place is NOT a premier wedding sight. You will pay lots of money, and you will do most of the work. Nothing is stressless. If you make a complaint it will be greeted by owner Debbie hanging up on you. We have current complaints at the Better Business Bureau (if you notice there are lots of complaints there). And are sending the second group to the Attorney General of Ohio, to be filed with small claims court. The owner is difficult to work with and even the local police will laugh if you call them for help. It is not a beautiful day at the Hideaway. There are no tranquil streams, you will not get a "full hearty" breakfast. They do not meet your food allergies, they will not give you the round tables that are in the agreement, the tent lights will go out at 10:15 pm (usual lights out) except if you have it until 2 am. The owner will blame every area on something. The tent is old and has poke holes throughout. If it rains, all of your guests will get sprinkled on (including the center of the tent). The help is all making the wedding dinner during the entire day of the wedding. Your wedding planner will not be involved in helping you that day. If you rent all the rooms in the Inn, half of the refrigerators do not work, the rooms do not get fully cleaned each day, although you will pay a hefty 20% gratuity whether it is deserved or not. If you have your wedding rehearsal dinner there, watch your alcohol bills, because they don't keep paper receipts on each glass or bottle of alcohol...before you know it the tab will be up to $1,000.00 and you are stuck with their exhorbant prices with no reprieve. Of course, don't forget the 20% gratuity on everything. Our reception dinner was for 30 people, it took an hour and a half to serve them...Of course that is how to keep the bar going, I guess. There will be no personal chef at the wedding head table with a personal chef, oh so many things that are on the advertizements that you will never see!
