We are still fresh to the experience so a lot is up in the air. We are thinking <150 people and it has to be a Saturday. Spring of 2024 or fall of 2024

It’ll be tough to do for less than $25k! Unless you’re open to a firehouse hall or something like that.

We’re paying $22k for a Thursday and that’s just venue + catering. All-in it’ll be a little over $30k for approx. 125 people!

I would check out Nostalgia 1720! Their prices were pretty reasonable! Also, The Warrington was super affordable and their package even included fresh flower arrangements last time I checked! Also, Joseph Ambler Inn was on the cheaper (relatively speaking) side!

All of the barns and historic venues around here are misleading! Sure, the site fee might be as low as $4k but that’s only to let you use the physical space. Then you have to bring in catering and that’s where the $$$ goes! Also a lot of people attend as guests at these venues them assume they must be cheap. Ohhhh no. Durham Hill farm? Site fee is $10,000. Lol!

Aldie, Mitchener, Mercer Museum, and Fonthill we’re all going to be around $30k for 125 people. That’s including photography and DJ and stuff! Catering alone at those venues was going to run $15k+.
