Venue vs Venue+

Most places will give you a venue only price. That means you rent the floor and the walls. That is not a wedding yet... obviously. At that point, you have to start a frantic search for a number of vendors (linens, catering, DJ, other decorators, and eventually, once you get really overwhelmed, you will likely get half of our family to help, and eventually, when they drive you nuts, you will get yourself a planner and a day-of coordinator. It's a difficult journey many young ladies go through and it is not as much fun as it should be.

If pain is your game, you can have Venue Only with us too.

However, if your life is busy already, consider a Venue+ package with us. When you choose our linens, DJ, and inhouse catering, you get free wedding planning and day of coordinator. That is about $1600-$1800 in free services as compared to the rest of the brides out there. Plus peace of mind. Plus you never come to the deep desire to say strangle someone in your family. Plus both you and your families get to enjoy your wedding day by taking on less work and having time for more fun.

And no, it's not going to cost more than if you pieced it all together... consider: if you rented a boat, a captain, a crew, dancers, went grocery and liquor shopping, then bought cups, napkins, TP, decorations, flowers, and loaded the boat with all that, and then spent your day coordinating everyone, and also unloaded all and everything in the same 12 hours... can you imagine having a fun cruise? Would it be cheaper than buying tickets on a cruise liner where you savored every minute? And yet, people try to have a wedding like that...
