Clean Up Service
STRIKE CREW: OPTIONAL CLEAN-UP SERVICE
While guests are responsible for cleaning up their ceremony and reception areas, we get that not everyone wants to spend their wedding night stacking plates and tidying tables in their heels. That’s where the Strike Crew comes in. This is not a lodge-provided service per se but we put you in contact with people who offer a cleaning service independently-to come in after dinner and start picking up after your party “mess.”
Note: This optional service is perfect for couples who’d rather keep celebrating and leave the clean-up to someone else.

Payment Terms
Strike crew payment is due before the crew leaves at the end of the job and must be paid directly to the cleaner(s), not through the lodge.
What the Strike Crew Does:
- Clears tables and removes place settings (real, disposable, or FWD)
- Packages leftover food (if you provide containers)
- Tidies up the tent & bar areas
- Vacuums the tent after the reception
- Puts away any used FWD décor
What the Strike Crew Does NOT Do:
- Break down tables or chairs
- Clean the lodge kitchen
- Clean up after caterers
- Handle dropped confetti, fake petals, or floral messes
- Wash FWD table linens
- Take leftover food unless offered
- Identify/separate your personal décor (they won’t know what’s yours!)
Note: They can begin cleaning after dinner while your party’s still going—unless you request they wait until the event ends. If you want them to work late, please let us know in advance as not all crews accept late-night shifts.
Optional Table, Chair & Arbor Breakdown
While guests are responsible for cleaning up their ceremony and reception areas, this does include the breakdown of your tables and chairs - as they do need to be how you found them upon arrival…. when you check-out. But we do need to point out that this is not part of the Strike Crew. If you don’t want to break down your tables, chairs, or arbor at the end of the night, you can add this separate teardown service. Please let the manager know you would like this at check-in or text the manager if at a later point you decide that you want this.
⦁ $150 | Up to 100 guests (based on chair count)
⦁ $200 | Up to 150 guests
⦁ $250 | Up to 200 guests
Note about second sets of chairs:
- For contracts signed prior to August 1, 2024, the second set of chairs was already included in your rental but set up and breakdown was not a service at that time and therefore is not included in your contract so you are responsible to leave them how they were found.
- For contracts dated August 1, 2024 or later, a second set of ceremony chairs must be rented separately—unless otherwise stated in your contract. But rental of the 2nd set of chairs includes set-up and breakdown already in that rental price…. but fyi….not your first set! 😂
Important Note About Your Décor
If you want to keep any personal items, remove them before the Strike Crew starts. Otherwise, we’ll assume you’re contributing to the optional "Leave Something Behind" tradition and donating it to the FWD collection.
We’re not responsible for items you leave behind. If it’s sentimental or valuable—grab it before the Strike Crew starts. If you'd rather put the FWD away yourself, that’s fine—just make sure it’s all returned as found. If not, your security deposit will be withheld. We’re strict on this so the next bride doesn’t walk into chaos at her check-in.
