  • Licensed Bartender for beer, wine, & champagne service (no hard alcohol)

    • Choose from personal bartender ($250 for 5 hours) or go all out with a full service mobile bar

Three Ways to Keep Costs Low

1

Focus the Guest List

Cost per guest is a big part of your wedding budget! Don’t be guilt tripped to invite people you don’t want to come - it's your big day. Prioritize your catering budget and use a tiered invitation system (A|B).  

2

Prioritize Funds

Define what's most important to you. Is it the venue, the food, the photographer, the florals, the dress? Allocate funds based on your priorities. 

3

Keep it Simple

With so much natural beauty surrounding our venue don’t feel the need to stress about extra decor - the mountains, sparkling water & towering trees won't let you down ;)

We work very hard to keep our amenities inclusive and our rental rates affordable. You'll find all you need to make an incredible wedding day without any hidden fees or gratuity charges - tax is even included.

 

Now add access to The Retreat, The Suite, The Basecamp and the 1000+ feet of waterfront set on over 5 acres of woodland wonder... though we find all the memories made there to be pretty priceless & we think you'll agree! ;)
