Do I have to put down a deposit when I rent Rodman?

Why do you only book up to a year in advance?
Rodman first and foremost is a working plantation. Weddings are supplemental to our overall business plan. Because of this, we utilize our house for various other purposes and we make sure all necessary weekends are scheduled before opening it up to wedding dates.
Can I arrange a visit to see if Rodman is an ideal place for my wedding?
Yes, you can visit Rodman before you decide to rent it. All appointments must be scheduled at least 2 days in advance and visits are limited to 8a to 6p Monday through Thursday. Please call us at 386-643-8042 to schedule a visit.
Do you have drawings with measurements of the facility?
Yes, we have detailed drawings and measurements to help in your planning.

How many tables and chairs do you have?
Currently at this time, we have 110 padded chairs, 80 metal folding chairs, and twelve 8ft rectangular tables, twelve 6ft rectangular tables, and twelve 5ft round tables. We have enough white chair covers for all chairs.
Am I required to use specific Vendors?
No, but upon successful registration, you will receive a sheet that includes only local Palatka vendors that have a good reputation and history at Rodman Plantation.
Will Rodman be cleaned and mowed before my wedding?
Yes, Rodman will be cleaned to our specifications as we do for all events. PLEASE NOTE - As beautiful as the Rodman House and surrounding grounds are, it is a 100 year old home on a working plantation, and it is in a very rural environment. When you register, the first sheet that includes Do's, Don'ts and FYI's will address this. Please make sure you read over that very carefully as you have to sign in agreement before you proceed in registering. After that, if you have specific questions, please feel free to ask.
Do you have any pictures of previous weddings for me to get ideas?
