Wedding Planning Info
Wedding Venue Fees at our Minnesota Venues
Venue Rental from 8AM to midnight, bridal salon, groom's room, arcade, tables and chairs, table linens, ceiling draping, cake table, gift table, snack and coffee table, cleaning and free parking are all included in your venue fee.
The prime wedding season in Minnesota is from May through October. Prices are higher during this time. Saturdays are the most expensive days, followed by Fridays, and then Sundays. Long weekend Sundays and some big Holidays are priced higher as well. (staffing a wedding on NYE costs more too).
Wedding Ceremonies at Glenhaven can be added to your package for $1000. Setting up a wedding ceremony entails setting up chairs, sound system, having someone to help coordinate the wedding party, and then cleaning and resetting after. This also includes flipping the ceremony indoors in case of bad weather outside.
Inclusive Wedding Packages
Food and beverage is always done in house. In addition, we include planning and day of coordination. To this, you can add photography, video, officiant, bakery, flowers, and decorations, to create a package that is easy to manage. In addition, our packages can be paid in monthly or quarterly installments... $2000 down + monthly payments, so long as you are paid in full one month before the wedding. The payment plan will be memorialized in your quote / contract.
Saving Money
Our prices are very competitive. By the time you add everything you will eventually need to create the same wedding elsewhere, you will find we are 20-30% less. We can do this because we do so much more, so we do not need to have a high margin on every item. Other venues and other vendors only do one thing so they have to charge more. Still, if you find our prices higher than what you budgeted, we can help you can save money two ways:
1. Ask and choose a date that is closer to the present... if we happen to have something open in the next 6-9 months, we may be able to offer you some deals.
2. Consider a micro wedding in the next 6 months, or further out on a Sunday through a Thursday (except Sundays before national holidays).
