Keg Policy

Homewood Keg Policy

If you would like to supply a keg, you must take responsibility for the keg and all of its parts. This includes the keg itself, ice, tap, and a container for the keg that does not create a hazard or a mess.

Kegs in containers that create condensation are not allowed on hardwood floors.

Kegs that are in a kegerator may be used on hardwood floors and in any area with access to an electrical outlet.

Kegs may not be left unattended; they are required, like all alcohol, to be served by a bartender.

Your or your designated representative must have the keg set up and ready to go at least one hour prior to the event start time.

Homewood does not supply staff or assistance with a keg.

You are responsible for the removal of the keg at the end of the event, unless otherwise previously arranged with Monroe or Julie.

Special Ceremony -by Monroe

We had a lovely wedding inside Homewood today. The service had a very inspirational section that I wanted to share with you.

Placed on each chair was a lovely, simple card with the layout of the ceremony. Resting on each card was a river stone. Near the beginning of the service, the officiant invited the guests one by one to bring their stone to the front and place it in a bowl in front of the bride and groom.

I watched from the back and saw that the Bride and Groom were able to see face to face each of the people who had traveled so far to witness this blessing of their love in marriage. It was a very meaningful moment for everyone in the room.
