RESERVATIONS / RATES

Reservations can be made beginning January 2 of the year preceding your wedding. Rates will not be set until the September preceding the new year. Rates are subject to change. Please check with our Guest Services Manager for current rates.

PAYMENTS

We accept check, e-check, cash, and Visa/MasterCard/Discover/American Express. There will be a $1 service charge for credit card purchases under $10 and a 3% service charge for all other credit card payments. Please add the 3% service fee when paying with a credit card. You may also pay online or by phone using a check for no additional fee.

DEPOSIT

If your estimated bill is less than $1000, Lake Logan requires nonrefundable payment in full with your signed contract. Dates will be held for you until the due date listed on the contract, at which time they will be released if the deposit has not been received.

If your total bill exceeds $1000, based on your tentative space reservations and guest count, Lake Logan requires a 50% non-refundable deposit with your signed contract. Dates will be held for you until the due date listed on the contract, at which time they will be released if the deposit has not been received.

 BALANCE DUE

Your balance must be paid in full 30 days prior to arrival along with a final estimate of the attendees. Incidentals acquired by the group, additional guests, and appropriate taxes will be applied to your final bill. Lake Logan will provide your final invoice within ten days of departure. Payment on the final invoice is due within 14 days of the date sent. Payments not received within fourteen (14) days of the invoice date will be assessed a late fee of 1.5% of the total due per month (18% APR).

BILLING FOR WEDDING GUEST LODGING

Lake Logan prefers single billing for group bookings. You have two options if you wish to reserve a block of rooms for your wedding guests:

1. You may handle the rooming assignments and we can bill each guest separately. Billing will be separated by cabin. You must submit all assignments to the Guest Services Manager by 90 days before the reservation date. Any rooms you do not fill must be released at least 90 days prior to your wedding date or will be billed to you if not re-rented. Billing for individual rooms in cabins with more than one bedroom is not available. Your guests must pay for their cabins in full at least 30 days prior to your reservation date. Unpaid cabins will be billed to you and must be paid before your arrival. With this billing method, there will be a 10% charge added to each cabin and you will not be eligible for the discount on reception or ceremony space listed above.*PREFERRED METHOD*
2. Guests may make reservations directly with us. In this case, we will hold a block of cabins up to 90 days before your reservation date. The value of the block held will be no more than the estimated total of your contract. Reservations must be for the whole cabin. Billing for individual rooms in cabins with more than one bedroom is not available. With this billing method, you will not be eligible for the discount on reception or ceremony space listed above unless the total number of rooms paid for under your contract is equal to $1800 or more per night for two nights.
3. You will be responsible for making rooming assignments and collecting payments. This is the most cost-effective method and the easiest for your guests. If your total lodging exceeds $1800 per night for two nights you will receive up to a $500 discount on one reception or ceremony space (not to exceed the cost of the space).

GUARANTEED NUMBERS

Your guaranteed count, set-up needs, dietary requirements, and special requests are due to Lake Logan 30 days prior to your arrival. You may increase your group numbers at any time if space allows. You may reduce your number by up to 25% up to 60 days prior to your event with no penalty. If your event’s guaranteed attendee number is not received 30 days prior as requested, you will be billed for the reserved guests and rooms blocked at the contracted rate.

MINIMUMS

A minimum participant count of ten has been established for food service. If your numbers fall below that minimum, your event will be assessed a surcharge.

CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS

Your 50% deposit is nonrefundable. (For events paid in full because the total bill was less than $1000, the full amount is nonrefundable.) All cancellations must be received in writing prior to 60 days before your reserved dates. Failure to provide 60 days’ notice of a cancellation means you will be responsible for full payment under your user agreement.

LAST MINUTE CHANGES

If there are last minute additions for your event Lake Logan will make every effort to accommodate the additional persons, provided space is available. Lake Logan will provide an additional invoice for “add-ons.”

INSURANCE

Groups are required to provide a certificate of liability insurance with policy limits equal to or exceeding $1 million, naming Lake Logan as an additional insured for the extent of their visit. In the event that a group does not have liability insurance, the group is required to purchase an endorsement issued by Lake Logan’s carrier, which is valid for a period of one year, beginning from the first date of visit at a rate of $115 for general retreats/meetings – due with deposit. 

WEDDING COORDINATOR

Our Guest Services Manager will work with you and your wedding coordinator to plan your day, including set-up of ceremony and/or reception venues, organizing all on-site catering, providing facility layouts and site visits as necessary, and processing all payments. The Guest Services Manager is available throughout the planning process until your event date. They will not necessarily be at your event, but a staff member will be available via telephone or in person for you on your wedding day in case of issues. We do not require a wedding coordinator, but we do believe they can help make your experience less stressful. We can provide recommendations of wedding coordinators who are familiar with Lake Logan.

POINT OF CONTACT

Please supply one point of contact for your event. All changes to your wedding day should be communicated through your one point of contact. If your rehearsal dinner is being billed separately, there may be a different point of contact for that event.

CATERING

We offer many options from heavy hors d’oeuvres to full buffets. Our menu can accommodate special meals such as vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free. All catering selections must be submitted at least thirty (30) days prior to the reception.

All catering orders are subject to NC state sales tax and 18% gratuity.

Outside catering and food trucks require pre-authorization and an additional fee and are not allowed at the Dining Hall.

If catering is outside of the dining hall, dining hall dishes (plates, glasses, and silverware) may not be used. Sit ‘n’ Whittle has a limited supply of dishes. Celebration Hall does not have dishes. We recommend that you rent dishes, or we can use disposable plates, cups, and silverware. We can recommend a rental company that is familiar with Lake Logan.

Flooding and drought may impact the level of the lake and river. Evergreen has rights to lower the lake level during drought.

We will do our best to communicate with you in advance if we are aware of changes to the water levels.
