Plan with confidence
Everything You Want to Know, All in One Place
Wedding planning is easier when expectations are clear. These answers summarize Cinco Farm’s current website guidance and help you prepare better questions for your tour. Your signed agreement and the latest information from the venue team will always control if a policy or price has changed.
Booking & pricing
Beginning Your Journey
Start with current availability and a personalized proposal, then visit the property before deciding.
How do we check wedding-date availability?
Review the online availability calendar, then contact Cinco Farm to confirm that your preferred date is still open. Availability can change as inquiries and contracts are processed.
How do we receive current pricing?
Use the pricing request to share your date, estimated guest count and event vision. Starting prices are not final quotes; your proposal reflects the details of your celebration.
Are tours available?
Yes. Tours are by appointment so the team can give you focused time to walk the ceremony, cocktail and reception areas and discuss practical questions.
How do we reserve a date?
After reviewing availability, pricing and the venue, follow the current proposal and agreement instructions from Cinco Farm. Dates are generally handled on a first-confirmed basis and are not held by an informal inquiry alone.
What payment methods and schedule apply?
The original venue guidance references wire transfer, check and cash, with scheduled payments before the event. Because terms can change, rely on the payment schedule and accepted methods in your current proposal and signed agreement.
Is there a guest minimum or food-and-beverage minimum?
The existing guidance states there is no guest minimum and no venue food-and-beverage minimum. Confirm the current terms and any package minimum investment in your proposal.
Is there only one event per day?
The current venue guidance states that Cinco Farm hosts one event per day, giving each celebration privacy and dedicated use of the contracted areas.
What is the cancellation or waitlist policy?
Cinco Farm’s existing FAQs state that cancelled dates are not managed through a formal waitlist. Ask the team about current options if your preferred date is unavailable, and review all cancellation terms in your agreement.
Spaces & timing
How the Day Flows
Build the schedule around natural light, guest comfort and a smooth vendor transition.
What time can vendors and the wedding party access the venue?
The existing guidance lists venue access beginning at 11:00 a.m. Confirm the exact access window and responsibilities for your date before vendors finalize their timelines.
What time must music and the event end?
Outdoor music must remain within the venue’s sound limits and end by 11:00 p.m. The original guidance also states vendors should be off the property by midnight. Confirm the current schedule in your agreement.
What is a helpful ceremony timeline?
For daylight-saving months, the original planning example uses a 5:30 p.m. ceremony, 6:00 p.m. cocktail hour, 7:00 p.m. dinner and dancing from 8:00 to 11:00 p.m. During standard time, the example begins approximately one hour earlier. Your planner should adapt timing to sunset, photography and guest needs.
Is a rehearsal included?
A one-hour weekday rehearsal may be available based on the event calendar. Arrange the date and time directly with Cinco Farm rather than assuming access.
Is there a rain plan?
The venue’s 40-by-110-foot covered event tent supports weather planning. Ask about ceremony alternatives, tent sides, flooring and any optional rentals well before the wedding.
Can the ceremony also take place at Cinco Farm?
Yes. The current guidance states there is no separate ceremony-site charge. Your proposal will confirm the spaces and services included in the selected package.
Can we customize the floor plan?
Yes. Review the venue maps, then work with your coordinator, rental provider and Cinco Farm to confirm a safe layout for guest count, catering, entertainment and weather needs.
Vendors & rentals
Build a Trusted Wedding Team
Clear scopes, insurance and communication protect the experience you are investing in.
Is a wedding coordinator required?
Yes. Cinco Farm’s current website guidance requires a certified wedding coordinator. Venue staff support the property but do not replace your planner or day-of coordinator.
Can we choose our own vendors?
Couples may choose many of their own professionals, while party-rental, catering and bar services must meet the venue’s current approval, insurance and operating requirements. Confirm all selections before signing contracts.
Are outside caterers permitted?
Yes, with venue approval. Caterers should review service areas, staffing, trash responsibilities, insurance and the 10-by-20-foot catering-tent guidance before finalizing a proposal.
Can vendors use the farmhouse kitchen?
No. The existing guidance states the farmhouse kitchen is not a catering kitchen. Catering teams should plan for the designated service setup and bring the equipment required for safe off-site service.
Who may serve alcohol?
Alcohol must be served by a properly licensed bartender or caterer that satisfies current venue and insurance requirements. Review bar timing, glassware, ice, staffing and cleanup in writing.
Are tables, chairs and linens included?
The original guidance states that core setup may include tables, chairs and solid polyester linens, while dinnerware and glassware can require an additional rental. Review the current package and venue inventory for exact inclusions.
Who handles setup, breakdown and trash?
The venue’s existing information describes support with core venue setup and breakdown, while caterers and service staff remain responsible for their work areas and event trash. Confirm the division of labor in each contract.
When can rentals and decor be delivered or collected?
Deliveries before the rental period require advance coordination, typically during the final event week. Next-day collection may be possible when the calendar allows; never assume storage without written approval.
Policies & setup
Protect the Property and the Moment
Share venue rules with every professional before deposits are paid.
What decor restrictions should we know?
All decor requires venue approval. Do not use nails or damaging fasteners on trees or structures, and do not plan rice, birdseed, loose confetti, fireworks or fire lanterns. Ask about any special installation before booking it.
Are candles allowed?
Candles may be used only when safely enclosed in glass or otherwise protected from wind and nearby materials. Confirm flame, placement and fire-safety requirements with the venue.
Are live bands, subwoofers or DJs allowed?
DJs are commonly used, but the current guidance prohibits live bands and subwoofers and limits outdoor sound to approximately 65 dB. Music must end by 11:00 p.m. Confirm the latest sound policy with the venue and entertainer.
Is smoking allowed?
Smoking is limited to designated areas. Communicate the location to guests and vendors and keep all other ceremony, dining and garden areas smoke-free.
Are animals allowed?
Animals may be considered with restrictions. Discuss species, handling, insurance, cleanup, guest safety and where the animal may enter before making arrangements.
Is event liability insurance required?
Yes. The current guidance requires liability insurance. Vendor certificates and any required additional-insured language should be confirmed early so missing documents do not delay final approval.
Can we take engagement or wedding photos on the property?
Photography access may be arranged with Cinco Farm. Schedule it in advance and confirm the permitted areas, duration and any applicable conditions.
When is the final guest count due?
The existing FAQs specify a final guest count approximately 21 days before the wedding. Your coordinator should use the contractual deadline when finalizing rentals, catering and layouts.
Guests & logistics
A Warm Welcome From Arrival to Farewell
Transportation, accessibility and thoughtful communication make the day feel polished.
How much parking is available?
The current venue guidance lists parking for approximately 100 vehicles. Confirm the final parking plan for your guest count and consider coordinated transportation for a smoother arrival.
Can vehicles remain overnight?
Overnight parking is intended for emergencies and may be limited to the front parking area for one day. Obtain approval and make a prompt pickup plan.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
Some areas have limited wheelchair accessibility. Discuss the specific ceremony, restroom, reception and parking routes during your tour so the team can help evaluate accommodations for your guests.
Are nearby hotels available?
Couples often explore hotels and vacation rentals around Kendall, Dadeland and South Miami, generally about 20 minutes away depending on traffic. The Oldie Farmhouse is not overnight lodging.
How do we obtain a marriage license?
Marriage licenses are handled by the Miami-Dade County Clerk of the Courts. Review the official county requirements, identification rules, fees and appointment options directly with the Clerk before the wedding.
Do we work directly with our vendors?
Yes. Couples and their coordinator should contract and communicate directly with each independent vendor. Cinco Farm can clarify venue requirements, but it is not a party to outside vendor agreements.
Where can we find more planning information?
Review Cinco Farm’s planning tools, venue maps, vendor guidance, inventory and availability calendar, then bring remaining questions to your private tour.
