We have the same policy (absolutely no open flames anywhere), and with all of the flameless candle options out there now, it really hasn't been an issue for us at all.

Has pushback been happening before or after a contract is signed? It should clearly be stated in the contract, and explained during a walk-through. If they don't like it they can choose to go elsewhere. And honestly, if having an open flame is a deal breaker, I'm not sure I'd want to deal with that particular bridal party! ;)

We currently do not allow candles/open flames at our rental events which all take place outside of our historic house. We are getting some push back on this policy from brides and I’m wondering how other museums and historic sites handle the situation.
