How much will my wedding cost?
Many factors go into determining the cost of your wedding: The day of the week, the number of guests, what’s included and the time of year. If you’re planning a wedding on a tight budget, let us know-if we can make it happen, we will. Generally speaking, weddings cost $8,000 to upwards of $20,000. So there’s pretty wide range. The best way to get a price for your wedding, is to reach out to us directly and get your quote. It’s the first step and it’s totally free.
Can I get an estimate for 100 people?
Our Saturday wedding package, the Signature Package, including the venue, open bar, wedding cake and dinner, starts at $62/person. So with tax and gratuity, your reception would cost about $8,000 for 100 people, as an example. Additional all-inclusive packages are offered, so you may choose to upgrade the Signature Package, and that will increase the cost of your event. In general, you can have a wedding here for $8,000-$20,000 and up, depending on your guest count, what’s included and any discounts that are based on the day of the week or month of the year. The best way to get a quote for your wedding, is to schedule a consultation, so we can learn more about your wedding needs.
