Wedding Planning Info

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.

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).

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.
