MemberHi, Bees!
My fiance and I are in love with the idea of a vineyard wedding in central VA. I’m only in the earliest stages of venue searching, but I’ve gotten huge sticker shock from what is unfortunately the ideal location. As in, $6500 for the venue, a tent, and tables and chairs.
Who else out there has done a vineyard wedding? What did your package include? Was it worth it??
Thanks, everyone!
MemberI am from Northern VA, and really wanted to do the vineyard wedding thing at some of the wineries around here. It really is more expensive to get married at a vineyard, because you have to bring in everything. And the “all-inclusive” vineyards – few and far between – are even more expensive. For example, Bluemont Vineyard in western Loudoun is said to be the most cost-effective around here. They have in-house catering, and both ceremony & reception sites. I went there and fell in love, but they quoted the “barn” rental at $6k for a Saturday night (not including the food). Other non-vineyard options I was looking at (a historic mansion and a golf club) are about $1,500 for the rental; much, much cheaper than the barn at Bluemont!
It did make me said, because Fiance and I are big wine-os and our whole family has said that type of venue would be perfect for us. But I just don’t think it’s doable for our budget (around 10k). I will be following this thread, and if you find a cheaper vineyard option in VA I’d love to hear about it! PM if you’d like 🙂
