How much is Dinner?

From $25 per person and up, depending on choices. You can find current menus following the Planning Tools link further below.

What will your dinner cost?

Take the number of guests you are inviting and remove a quarter. For example, if you are inviting 200 people, you can expect 150 to RSVP yes and most of those to actually attend.

As such $25 x 150 = $3750 plus tax and service.

This is the cost for a buffet meal, where we invite tables to help temselves (so they do not have to wait in line, but still do the "work" themselves). A plated meal is $7 more per person because it takes a lot of staff to pull it off.

That's it? Maybe.

Compare the cost of dinner to the Food and Beverage minimum. If it is higher than the minimum, then, yes, that's it.

If it is lower, then you need to spend more money to meet the minimum either on appetizers or the bar.

What the heck is a Food & Beverage Minimum, and Why?

As of October 2024, our F&B Mininums are $7000 on Saturdays, and $3000 on all other days (with a few exceptions like national holidays). Why have these?

Most people want to get married on a Saturday. We, however, only have 52 Saturdays per year, and about half of them are in low demand (November through April). So we need to make the most of the 26 Saturdays that most people want, and in order to do that, we have these minimums to ensure we don't fill every Saturday in season with 40 person events, which are not enough to pay the bills.
