I got engaged in 2019, and planned a whole wedding with Sound River for October 2020- of course, I had to push it a whole year! Sound River was extremely accommodative in pushing our date a full year, and helped ease a lot of our stress. Una, the venue coordinator, is an absolute gem! She is extremely organized, warm, and easy to work with. Our wedding celebration ended up being an absolute blast, and everyone kept commenting how magical the venue was with the NYC sky line. I would recommend Sound River to any friend who is looking to soak up NYC’s beautiful sky line in a venue that can be a blank canvas for whatever style you want to go for! The recommended vendor list is amazing, and we used exclusively local vendors. It was an excellent choice! Thank you Sound River for making our day so magical.

Our wedding was almost an awful day. Over half of our guests left due to bad weather and simply because they didn’t want to stay after getting their cupcake . It was very frustrating and it changed a lot of our plans. We ended up moving indoors and ending everything early. DeeDee was amazing enough to help us change our send off by letting us use her bubble machine and wands ON THE SPOT. We were so grateful for her flexibility on our day. 10/10 recommend this venue!!

The Sanctuary RI 

4.5

New York, NY
  • Up to 300 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $15,000

Nestled in a beautifully restored former church, The Sanctuary RI combines historic elegance with modern charm. The venue boasts stunning original stained glass and a serene, intimate atmosphere. Guests are often impressed by the exceptional service and the breathtaking views of the East River, making it an ideal setting for any special event. The landscaped patio provides a perfect space for cocktail hours, while private rooms offer cozy settings for more intimate gatherings. This venue's flexibility and attention to detail ensure a memorable experience for all occasions.

Roosevelt Island is a gem of a place for a wedding….a little Manhattan, a little Queens/Brooklyn…traditional but funky…The Sanctuary has character bc of its history as a hospital chapel; has an awesome view because of its location on the East River; has parking because it’s not Manhattan; and has a family business vibe because of the owners…you get personal attention from the owners. Pricing for winter wedding on a Friday was especially reasonable. The venue’s holiday seasonal decorations made it cheery (you don’t need to do lots of yourself and in fact, you shouldn’t bc you do need to take everything away the night of the event). The food was fresh…there was lots of it—enough for our 20-something year old guests! The vegetarian’s got a real meal, not just the side dishes that so many places offer. The younger guests esp loved the pizza bar at dessert time. Desserts were varied and delicious. Liquor/drinks kept flowing. There was even a special cocktail as a surprise. We loved having two distinct places for the evening—the chapel and the tent—but it helps to think about the flow of the event…our guests started dancing in the tent while dinner was still on! Definitely we recommend having some of the event during daylight hours because the sun looks great on the East River and sunset is a treat, esp for visitors to NYC. We had our ceremony offsite, but the price is esp good if you do the ceremony at the Sanctuary (and don’t have to pay for another venue), and the extra/side house would be a great place to dress. Also, the photographer and dj were happy at the venue…one improvement would be an in house sound system. Highly recommend this place! Congrats.

The Riverview was great to work with. Leading up to the wedding (06/04/2023) we had no problems contacting our coordinator Adam and he was able to answer any questions we had. The rehearsal ended up on a Thursday night for our Sunday wedding, but we were able to drop off most of the decor items and go over the ceremony plans. We had DIYed centerpieces and ceremony decor and they were able to put it all out for us day of (pre-assembled) and helped put everything in our car the night of the wedding. We also had 2 bridal assistants that checked on us throughout the night, making sure we had food and drinks and helping bustle my dress and get tissues when I cried happy tears. Overall, the venue was beautiful, and we were glad we could have the ceremony outside but protect our guests from too much sun, or any possible rain. Other venues having poor back up plans for rain is a big reason we did not select some of the others we looked at. The Riverview helped to make sure things when exactly how we wanted through the night, and we were happy with how everything turned out.

We got married in May and are still getting tons of compliments about our wedding! Nicole was so much fun to work with and made the planning process so easy. Many of the vendors we ended up using came off of an extremely helpful list she gave us. Their familiarity with the venue and experience working with the staff at The Roostertail made coordination and communication so easy, especially since we were living out of state during the planning process! We had gorgeous weather for our beautiful ceremony overlooking the river, and our reception was also amazing! All of the food was delicious, but the appetizers were definitely my favorite. I still sometimes crave them six months later! Nicole and her staff were so accommodating, making sure my husband and I always had a drink in our hand and were having a good time. I HIGHLY recommend the milkshake bar. We’ve had so many people tell us that it was such a unique and fun thing to have at a wedding. Overall we had such a great time and would recommend The Roostertail for any kind of event!

Lippincott Manor is truly the most amazing wedding venue. My mother and I went to tour the venue a year before our wedding date. Right away we were impressed. From the beautiful property that you drive up to and then meeting Tricia and Marty, we were sold. Tricia and Marty are the most kindest, generous, down to earth people we have ever met. My husband and I planned our wedding at Lippincott Manor for August 15, 2020 with roughly 120 guests attending. When COVID hit, Tricia and Marty continuously kept us informed with the plans. Unfortunately, only 9 days before our wedding, new county restrictions went into effect and Tricia informed me immediately- limiting our 120 guest list to 50 and under, etc. Within a day, Tricia and I postponed the large reception to next year and planned to have the original wedding ceremony at the venue with less than 50 people on the original date (August 15, 2020). I was truly heartbroken but Tricia was the best thing that happened to me during that time. She was so accommodating, answered ALL of my questions I had, and most importantly, she eased my mind by planning the WHOLE mini ceremony and made sure I had everything I needed for the day. She was so calming and reassuring during such a chaotic time. I’m truly thankful for her. Our wedding day was truly the most AMAZING day of my life. It was perfect- from the beautiful weather we had, to the beautiful property that we got married on, and the support we had from Tricia and Marty. I wouldn’t change it for anything. We cannot wait to have the large reception and do it all over again next year! Trust me- GET MARRIED HERE!!! It will be the best decision you will ever make! Xoxo, Mr. & Mrs. Vara

My partner and I recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at Grace River Island Resort and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience. The hosts, Mike and Karen, were the kindest individuals we could have hoped for. It was evident that they were genuinely invested in ensuring our special day went flawlessly. They were absolute all-stars during the planning process, too. They were always there to answer our questions promptly, providing detailed information and guidance whenever needed. Mike and Karen were also experts when it came to setting up and planning the day. They effortlessly coordinated all the elements of our special day, ensuring that everything flowed seamlessly. We also appreciate how prepared they were for the weather. We had concerns about potential rain on our wedding day, but the hosts had thought of everything. They had umbrellas at the ready, furniture under the tent, ready to be moved at event time. And, even though we had a light sprinkle here and there, we were able to delay our ceremony just a few minutes so that chairs could be dried off on the lawn. Although we never had full rain, we ended up having our reception in the clubhouse which was a blessing with how hot it was. And afterward, we still were able to enjoy dancing and socializing on the deck and throughout the whole property. Speaking of the venue itself, it was absolutely amazing. The setting was unlike anything we had ever seen before in SW Florida. The picturesque landscapes and breathtaking views provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception. The various lounge areas were such a wonderful, unique feature that really made Grace River Island a unique venue. Some of our favorite memories are from spending the weekend at the house. We rented it from Friday-Sunday and had the bridal party and some friends stay with us. It provided such a fun opportunity to celebrate with our closest friends and family all weekend. After the wedding, we all even decided to take a swim which was such a cool, core memory. Grace River Island Resort offers a one-of-a-kind experience that we and our guests will cherish forever.

Clearwater, FL
  • Up to 200 guests

With panoramic views of Clearwater Beach, this venue offers a perfect setting for both indoor and outdoor weddings.

Notable for its seamless coordination and attention to detail, the venue ensures a stress-free planning process. Luxurious suites, an on-site spa, and dining at Watercolour Grill House enhance the guest experience, making this location ideal for those seeking a sophisticated and well-managed wedding day.

I had my wedding ceremony and reception at the Marriott Suites on Sand Key in May 2024. It was amazing. The facility coordinator was great to work with and having both in the same facility made planning easy. Having a smaller guest count made it somewhat difficult to find the right location and price balance with other hotels, but this Marriott was able to accommodate. Our guests loved the property. I would highly recommend this hotel for your wedding!

The Portofino Hotel & Marina 

4.7

Redondo Beach, CA
  • Up to 250 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $16,000

Welcome. The Portofino Inn, as it was originally named, was opened in 1962 by racecar enthusiast Mary Davis. The inn drew thousands of visitors for a three-day welcome celebration for the King Harbor opening and soon became a hangout for racers including Peter Revson, an F1 Grand Prix Winner. The Cannonball Run, a car race from New York to Los Angeles turned feature film, was first run in 1971 with The Portofino Inn as the final destination.

There isn't enough words in the world to express how absolutely amazing our experience was here at the Portofino. Ever since I was young, I always knew I wanted a beautiful oceanfront wedding, and Portofino completely delivered that and MORE. Everything throughout my wedding planning process was sooo smooth thanks to Rain, aka their most amazing wedding coordinator ever (give that man a raise!!! 3 ). Seriously -- I had 5 months to get everything done for my wedding, and there were points throughout the process where I was questioning myself and whether I should've been *more* stressed than what it was because Rain was always so communicative and helpful. You always hear stories about how the stress gets to you during the wedding planning stages, but I was fortunate to not experience nearly any stress at all and honestly had so much fun throughout the whole planning process! The staff was also just amazing during the cocktail hour and reception as well -- all of our friends and family expressed how impressed they were by everyone's attentiveness, professionalism, and friendliness. They were especially attentive to my new husband and I, and none of that went unnoticed!! Our day was literally so perfect from top to bottom. Not to mention the gorgeous complimentary room we got as the newly weds. We definitely plan to come back many more times in the future to book staycations at the hotel. 10s across the board!!! I will continually recommend this hotel to all my friends and family :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Our 100 person wedding at Paradigm Gardens in April of 2024 was perfect. For starters, their Private Events Director Karen is unparalleled. Communication was clear and consistent from the very beginning, and we never felt like they were trying to upsell us. As two more laid-back brides, she made sure we didn't overlook any important details. If your food is the most important aspect of your wedding, stop reading this and call Paradigm Gardens to book now. Our budget was fairly limited, but Chef Pat over at Karibu Kitchen (Paradigm Gardens' Catering) made the most of every dollar we spent. The food and bar packages were, hands down, the best we encountered at any venue in New Orleans. We had so much fun designing our custom menu with Chef Pat, and the tasting at Tchoup yard was one of our favorite parts of the planning process. Our family and friends still tell us it was the best food they've ever had at any wedding. The team even went out of their way to make sure our bar included our favorite brand of pickle vodka shots which turned out to be one of the highlights of the night. The location in Central City was perfect. It allowed us to have our rehearsal dinner downtown, and also take our pre-ceremony pictures at Audubon Park without requiring much driving time to and from the venue. The lush garden was more than we could have asked for as a backdrop. We said our vows in a short ceremony then watched the sunset over cocktails and dinner. The jasmine was in full bloom which made for awesome photos. The goats were a big hit with our wedding guests and the outdoor kitchen acted as a sort of fiery centerpiece to the whole evening. We had a local DJ playing New Orleans bounce and spent the majority of the night on the dance floor under the string lights. Without a massive budget, we anticipated having to compromise on a lot of aspects to be able to afford a wedding in New Orleans, but we couldn’t have been more wrong. We will forever be grateful to the folks at Paradigm Gardens for giving us the wedding of our dreams.

From start to finish, the owners, Barbara and Kevin, were super friendly and responsive, and really took great care of us. Also, the venue itself is super unique, and we got a ton of compliments on our choice from our guests! You really can't beat the amazing view of the SF skyline, being right on the Bay, in such a cool and historic area. Oh, and the wine and cider selections are simply impeccable! We cannot recommend this venue more highly! One thing to note is that we do NOT recommend the in-house caterer, Chef Frank Miller. He completely messed up the menu for our wedding despite many conversations ahead of time confirming it and then acted extremely unprofessionally when it was brought to his attention. He was the one blemish on our otherwise flawless wedding. This is no reflection whatsoever on Riggers Loft, though, which has totally different staff from Chef Frank. Go with Riggers Loft, but hire an outside caterer!!!!

Malibu Sea View Estate

Malibu, CA

For any event, there is truly no better combination of view, privacy, flat space, accessibility, parking, and natural beauty for events anywhere in Malibu! With 360 panoramic views of the mountain and ocean. This private venue is not available for use by the general public, and is only available by qualified referrals, and only limited dates are available. This is not a commercial wedding factory, and we just do a few events a year by referral, so it is really special and fun and intimate.

We got married here last year and outside of the amazing views, Chaya and her family are so sweet to work with. She responds to emails fast, is super sweet and attentive to detail, and will truly work with you to make your wedding day a success. She was also so patient with all our questions which was so appreciated. Highly recommend staying there too if you’re able - the views are absolutely breathtaking and paints the perfect setting for creating memories of a lifetime. :) Thank you for everything!

Seven Ponds Farm 

5.0

Summit, NY
  • Up to 125 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Seven Ponds Farm is a heavenly spot way up in the Catskill mountains, with a dozen ponds and lakes, and pastures as long as the eye can see. GALLERY Seven Ponds is the new sister property of Blenheim Hill Farm, a well-known destination wedding venue with raving reviews. Seven Ponds has been designed to host smaller, intimate weddings from 75 guests up to 140 guests with the same magical qualities and attention to detail as our sister farm Blenheim.

What a gorgeous, intimate venue! My family knew the last 2 couples to live on this property, so we know the area and the property very well. While I hate to encourage people to go out into the more remote areas of the Catskills (I do prefer conservation), this venue was truly everything I had hoped for and more. First of all, the property is gorgeous. Rolling hills and dark mountains in the background; ponds and wild flowers in the foreground - absolutely stunning. There are chickens, cows and sheep for the city folks to fawn over & the areas for rehearsal dinner, reception and cocktails are adorable, cozy and lit so romantically. There's a spectacular view every way you look! The farmhouse is also wonderful. Each room was comfortable and nicely decorated - the house itself is large without being echo-y and small without being claustrophobic. It felt just like home! Plus, it's connected directly to the barn where the reception is, which was incredibly convenient particularly for those in high heels... Secondly, the staff. Every one of them was so attentive, kind, considerate & helpful! They went above and beyond to make sure everything happened the way we wanted (even if we didn't know it). We're not a particularly needy couple, but we were taken aback by their generosity! They were all so friendly and communicative - it was excellent. Shout out to Jab and Danielle for their spectacular efforts - keeping close track of the weather (it was rainy) and making sure we could have the ceremony outside while ensuring that Plan B was set up and ready to go! We ended up doing the ceremony outdoors as planned, once the skies cleared and the rest of the evening was like a fairy-tale. The planning leading up to the wedding was very helpful. The staff at Seven Ponds met us at their sister restaurant in Manhattan (Blenheim) for the initial briefing, food tasting & other meetings to iron out details. They were always accommodating and made sure the whole check list was accounted for. They provided all the documents we needed to plan out the dinner, the farmhouse room allocations and more! It was all a bit overwhelming for me - I'm really not the "typical" bride and was at times uncomfortable with the attention & detailed questions - but the team was thorough and I appreciate that more (cheers to my now husband for taking things on when my anxiety took me over...) Thirdly, the food was outstanding. The hor d'oeuvres, the dinner, the after party tacos, the EVERYTHING was absolutely DELICIOUS. I wish I hadn't been so busy so that I could have enjoyed it all more. Seriously tho, if you're thinking about doing the late night snacks, CHOOSE THE TACOS. Holy h*** they were amazing... Also, definitely invest in the fried chicken! All in all, this place was excellent. I had a delightful wedding - couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out :)

The Ranch is a one stop shop and the staff was such a big help. The BBQ is amazing. Christina and Gary made our planning easy. At rehearsal they stepped in to make sure we were comfortable and the day of they just kept checking on us. They live and work on the property and it shows.

Our waterfront wedding venue lets the Chesapeake Bay provide a beautiful and elegant backdrop to your special day. Our goal is to exceed your expectations right down to the smallest detail because your wedding deserves no less. Our 30 years of experience planning all-inclusive weddings means that your journey can be stress-free. From relaxing in your bridal suite to photos on the waterfront, to dancing the night away – your day will be perfect! Consistent quality and diverse variety is the hallmark of our wedding catering service. Whether looking for an elegant multi-course dinner, or lighter afternoon fare, our extensive selection ensures you’ll find the perfect menu to compliment your event.

We had our wedding in the ballroom. Very scenic and beautiful venue! Overall a pretty good venue that includes food, tables, chairs, linens, etc. The ballroom house itself is beautiful with lots of light indoors due to the large windows, and a nice deck for an outside ceremony. Zoe communicated with us and answered all our questions and did our tasting and planning, until a week before the actual day where we were assigned a day of coordinator. I found this system to be not great, since the day of coordinator was essentially a stranger that you've never talked to at all, and you basically have to re explain everything you want. Even though they have an online planning tool (which is old and outdated), I found that they got our aisle directions wrong, the reception layout wrong, and our dinner meals were wrong. Thankfully, we had a separate planner that was able to correct these things, so I recommend getting an outside coordinator that works directly with you if you have room in the budget. Another thing was our limited setup time of 1.5 hours meaning the florist and other vendors couldn't set up earlier with more elaborate decorations and had to do something simple. I found out that this is because they had another wedding at the same place before ours (literally ending at 4) and so they rush to get the place cleaned for the evening wedding. The main room and the suit was renovated, but the bathrooms were all still dingy and not the best/cleanest to use. The food was good though, better than we had at our tasting and they got it out fast. Our vendors were fed the same food, and our guests thought it was pretty good wedding food. Apart from the couple hiccups we had, we thought the venue was great overall and really beautiful and we don't regret having our wedding there at all. It could be a little bit better in the small details for the price though.

Inn At Taughannock Falls

Trumansburg, NY
  • Up to 300 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $6,000

This luxury boutique hotel overlooks Cayuga Lake and is just 9 miles from Ithaca, New York, in the heart of the Finger Lakes Wine Trail. The estate combines modern accommodations, private guest houses, and a majestic Victorian Inn next to one of the tallest waterfalls in the country. The Inn at Taughannock has three on-site wedding venues, including a new one-acre wedding garden. The wedding garden, named "Enchantment", has a 100' x 60' translucent sailcloth tent, a 42' alabaster bar, and a dry-stack stone fire place that it took four masons one year to build. In addition to these marvelous features there are also three fire-pits on site, one of which is cantilevered and hangs above the outer wall over looking Cayuga Lake. Our full service event planning team is ready to provide you with a concierge style service as they help you navigate every facet of the wedding planning journey. This all inclusive venue is the perfect location for the next piece of your history.

If you're considering planning your wedding at the Inn at Taughannock Falls, do it - this place is pure magic. I am wholeheartedly convinced that there is no venue that compares to the Enchantment garden or offers the wedding planning experience that you get at the Inn. The planners are top-notch, incredibly personable, thoughtful, detail-oriented and help bring your dream wedding to life. At the Inn, customization is limitless - a blank canvas (well, if you consider a blank canvas to be gorgeous gardens, sprawling staircase, and stunning tent) awaits. We worked with Tania-lynn who was an absolute rockstar and made our wildest dreams come to life. Every 'I" was dotted and every "T" was crossed. We didn't have a worry in the world when we walked onto the grounds on our wedding day. I can't speak more highly about the experience, staff, accommodations, and wedding day (and I've been dreaming about this day since I was a little girl!). What an honor it was to have our wedding at the Inn at Taughannock Falls. Thank you to the amazing planners and staff that made our wedding day the best day of our lives.

Barker House by Wedgewood Weddings

Scituate, MA
  • Up to 220 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $6,465

Barker House in Scituate, MA, is a quintessential New England wedding venue with a rich history and an idyllic setting. The historic tavern, originally built in 1634, offers a charming and romantic atmosphere with exposed beams, cozy fireplaces, and elegant décor. The venue features multiple event spaces, including the Williams Room, New England Room, and a secluded garden courtyard. With exceptional service and attention to detail, the team helps couples create their wedding with helpful all-inclusive packages, recommended vendors, and a wedding planning guide - lean on the team as much or as little as you want. Barker House blends historic charm and modern amenities, making it a premier wedding destination on the South Shore of Massachusetts.

The Barker House by Wedgewood Weddings is hands-down the best option for a wedding. We toured the venue during the re-construction and re-branding process. They assured us that everything would turn out fine (and it did!). Venue/Space: We were the first wedding post-renovation to have an outdoor ceremony. The space is gorgeous and looks super sleek. It's enclosed yet felt so spacious. The cocktail hour and reception were inside the building which is absolutely stunning. It felt elegant, historic, but also comfortably homey. The whole venue is incredibly aesthetic. They did an amazing job with the place. Planning/Packages: The comprehensive packages are what really drew us to Wedgewood. It truly made the planning process SO much easier; the fact that the packages are so highly customizable helped make our special day the wedding of our dreams. They emphasized price transparency, and we were grateful for that as well. We decided to use other vendors for some aspects, and Wedgewood easily integrated their services into our wedding day. The Food: The food! Amazing!! We were gone during cocktail hour, but Paula set aside some of everything for us to try when we returned. We, and our guests, LOVED everything. The meatballs were incredible, the apple and brie phyllo apps were phenomenal, and the crab cakes were so good. During dinner, we again were super impressed. The prime rib, salmon, and chicken piccata were remarkable! We also added a mashed potatoes bar to be served at dinner, and that was a hit! They were phenomenal. For dessert, we brought our own cookies, which they were happy to set out for us, but we also added chocolate strawberries and a donut station. The donuts were a smash -- they were huge, fun, and absolutely delicious. For a late night bite, we added a nachos bar. Again, this was a great decision. So many people complimented the meat that came with those nachos. The food will definitely be a memorable aspect of our wedding! The Staff: The staff also helped make our wedding day a success. The general managers did transition several months into the planning process but this did not impact us in any way. When we met the new manager, Duncan, he was already familiar with us and our event and answered any and all of our many questions. Cassie was our wedding coordinator and was our main point of contact for the planning process. She was AMAZING! She was so much fun to work with and super helpful. She answered all of our questions super quickly and was able to solve any problem that we encountered. We also gave her a lot of autonomy in setting up the decorations that we brought, and she knocked it out of the park. On the day of the wedding, Cassie made sure that everything went smoothly and that we wouldn't have to worry about anything. We also met Lyric the day before our wedding during the rehearsal, but we wished we had met her sooner! She was such a ray of sunshine and helped our wedding day run smoothly. She checked in on us throughout the day to check if we needed anything. She was awesome. Paula was our banquet coordinator, and she was FABULOUS! She was so unbelievably kind, helpful, and always so eager to help us. We had accommodations that required all of the staff to have responsibilities beyond a traditional wedding at the Barker House, but Paula truly went above and beyond to make things go smoothly. Overall, the staff was incredible to work with, and they made our day so easy and one to remember.

Having my wedding at the Seabrook Island Club was always my dream, so it was no surprise that it was the first decision (after saying yes to my now husband) I made when planning my wedding! We were lucky enough to be one of the first couples who had their reception at the newly renovated clubhouse and all of my guests to this day still talk about how beautiful it is there. Everything was taken care of with the utmost professionalism and kindness. Michelle, the wedding coordinator, was patient and answered every question we had--which was quite a lot due to planning a wedding during COVID. One of my favorite memories was waiting in the bridal suite with my husband after pictures and before cocktail hour--it was a quick moment we were alone together and Michelle brought us some hors d'oeurves and cocktails to enjoy before our guests arrived! I still cannot get over not only how beautiful the Clubhouse is, but how wonderful the staff is! It lived up and surpassed, my dream wedding!

I am an out of town bride, so having an all-inclusive venue was super important to me. Isla del sol takes care of everything from ceremony, to tables/linens to dining, to food and alcohol and a full team of staff. The food was amazing. The venue and atmosphere were everything I could have dreamed. Melissa and the staff are the most friendly and welcoming individuals. Melissa is so on top of it, super quick to respond, stayed in touch during our long year & half engagement, and worked with us to schedule any tours/tastings around the dates we were in town. One of the best parts, is that you will be the ONLY bride during your wedding weekend. We were able to do rehearsal the night before and the day of had the entire bridal suite and groom suite to ourselves and could enter any time we wanted. We also brought all the décor the night before, so it made it so much easier the day of. I would recommend Isla del Sol to anyone who ever wants to get married in the St Pete area.

About wedding venues

How much do wedding & reception venues cost?

The cost of wedding venues varies, with factors influencing cost including size, location, guest count, and, most importantly, whether things like catering and rentals are included. The more a reception venue near you includes, the higher the cost. When considering venues, try to compare prices apples-to-apples. If one venue includes catering and rentals in their pricing and the other doesn’t, you need to figure out how much additional cost those outside vendors would be to make a true comparison. Before booking, be sure you’re aware of additional costs outlined in your contract, like parking fees and weather-related considerations (adding a tent, etc.).

What questions should we ask wedding venues?

When talking with a potential venue, always ask about 1) their availability and 2) their capacity. Some popular venues book up peak season Saturdays nearly 2 years in advance—if your first choice date isn’t available, consider your flexibility on day of the week and year. While maximum capacity is non-negotiable, venues might have guidance on what guest count will be most comfortable. Also, you’ll want to understand what is and is not included in the venue’s fees. Some include catering, tables and chairs, and linens, while others offer just the raw space. These venues are often less expensive because you are only paying for the space itself, and you’ll have to bring in outside vendors
