     Your wedding dream can become a reality at the 1812 Hitching Post.  

    We're skilled at coordination, set-up, and clean-up so you just show up and get married for the most relaxed and enjoyable wedding possible.  The 1812 Hitching Post can be styled from casual to formal to suit your personal style of elegance.  You make the choices and send us the ideas; we make them into reality!  We can also custom create a wedding design exclusively for you.

     If you've been touring our web site,  you've already realized that we're different than any other wedding/reception location.  It takes special people to deliver this combination to you.  We challenge you to find anything else quite like us in this country!  

    At the 1812 Hitching Post, we realize your wedding is one of the most important days of your life and that you want to be sure those taking care of you and your guests have commitment and passion to work with each other and toward the goal of your successful event.   Our qualified staff and preferred vendors have earned their trust with us and share our commitment to you.  

   Some couples choose to bring outside vendors.  We have found the best and most cost-effective weddings are those that have us provide most of the services needed for the event.  It is important to us that you have the wedding that you want.  We will work with you if at all possible to include outside vendors, if desired.

Food and Beverage

   You want your guests to enjoy every bite of the food served at your wedding.  We love food that is fresh and tasty.  How many weddings have you attended where people rave about the food?  You'll taste how much we care in every dish that is served.  We use our antique silver and crystal for a lovely presentation. 

     At the 1812 Hitching Post, we have several standard buffet options which give you and your guests a wide variety of foods in unlimited quantities at an affordable price.  We also customize menus frequently to include anything you and your friends and family would find enjoyable.  Our goal is to please you.  We offer our menus as suggestions but are happy to include all types of meal service.  Some popular choices include outdoor roast pork (luau), Italian dinner, surf and turf (steak and shrimp), and grilled chicken or barbeque.  We also have consultants available to ensure your ethnic selections are authentically prepared.
