Comparing wedding venues is like comparing apples to oranges. Although some venues may offer a less expensive upfront fee, the hidden costs and other costs can add up.

Parking: not all venues offer onsite parking, let alone a golf cart service available for the entire event.

Decor + Furniture Rentals: Extremely few venues offer a collection of in-house decor and furniture for rent as we do. Expect to spend time making sure items will fit both physically and aesthetically and coordinating drop-off and pick-up times. Plus, expect a delivery fee.

Linens: $400-800. This cost is pretty much the same at all venues.

Flowers: $2,000-4,000+ at most venues to hire a florist. The minimum amount is usually at least $2,000.

Caterers: This is a variable cost between $3,000-$7,000+. Some venues limit you to their in-house caterer, so the price is set and you’re forced to use them.

Bar: This is a variable cost, but most venues require you to purchase alcohol in-house, which is expensive and can really eat into your budget.

Photography: $1,000-3,000+ – This cost is consistent across wedding venues as most do not include photography (it’s such a personal choice!).

Package Price: $6,000 on average for a similar size venue in season.

Your Estimated Total at Other Venues (Excluding Variable Items): $14,100-21,600
