We are pleased to announce that Countryside Meadows is an alcohol-free facility.

We are finding that many brides today are choosing to have an alcohol-free wedding for several reasons.

Here are 10 reasons why you may want to consider having an alcohol-free wedding:

1.  It will save you money -- a lot of money!  Not only the cost of the alcohol, but the bartender expense that most venues require.

2.  It will eliminate the cost of the additional insurance that many venues charge when alcohol is allowed. 

3.  Your damage deposit at Countryside Meadows is only $100 and it is almost always returned -- a venue two miles from us charges a $750 damage deposit!

4. Your friends or family will not ruin your wedding by their alcohol-induced behavior.  Chances are that no one will be punched in the nose or leave totally upset.

5.  You will not be required to hire two off-duty policemen at a cost of $350 to patrol your event as is required by the venue down the street.

6.  You will not be required to obtain a liquor license for your event -- all other venues require you to do this and it transfers all liability to you and your family.

7.  All of your guests will be able to participate in the toast to the bride and groom with sparkling cider -- including those under 21 and those recovering alcoholics.

8.  You and your guests will actually be able to remember your wedding day.

9.  You will discover who your true friends really are when they come to see you rather than for all the free alcohol they can consume.

10.  Your wedding most likely will NOT be featured on America's Funniest Home Videos.

Seriously, we have wonderful weddings and receptions at Countryside Meadows.
