How much did you spend on the Venue?

My venue is a B&B and barn, it's $6500 which includes ceremony, access to the whole property and a room from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon. Tables, chairs, linens, a DJ, and DOC. So depending on what they are or aren't including 5k seems normal. I looked at a few barn venues in my area and they were all between $3500 which included nothing, to $6500.

Our barn venue is $3,900 and we can hire our own caterer vs going through the venue's.

Barn weddings in the Central PA area (within an hour's radius of Harrisburg) can range as low as $3,000 and as high as $10,000 due to the fact that some require you to use their preferred caterer, and in general, those catering options start at $60 per head. You can find cheaper caterers in our area (think BBQ), but oftentimes the venues who do allow you to bring your own caterer will charge more for their facility rental charge.

Mine was $400 for ceremony and reception we have it from 10am till 2am.

My venue was $600 (Saturday in Sept). We decided to rent out the day before as well at a discount bringing our total to $1000. That way we were able to decorate in peace and have our rehearsal and none of it was rushed. It included chairs and we were able to rent tables and linens from them very cheap (I want to say $80 total but I don't remember). We also rented their sound system for $35 and paid them to clean up ($100) so we didn't have to (other than removing our things of course). It was a stunning historic venue but fairly small (max of about 50 people seated, far more total but that was the max for seating at tables for dinner so therefore it was all we could invite-if we'd had cocktails only it could have been more).

Very dark picture but here is the inside

$770... Women's club in Sierra Madre. They provide tables and chairs for 100 ppl. We have the venue from 7am-11pm. It's a nice place.

My venue fee was $4750, for both ceremony & reception space, after $1500 off-season discount and a $500 discount through our wedding planner. Includes main reception space plus atrium, the tables, chairs, plates/silverware, basic linens (we are upgrading), AV equipment and use of LCD tvs, customizable lighting, coat check/concierge, bridal suite, staff and bartenders. Our venue is in a nice part of the city and is pretty new/modern.

$1900 w/ $4500 or 75 person food/drink minimum for a Friday night. Exclusive use from 6-11, with use all day and a rehearsal. Includes all meal time necessities (tables, chairs, utensils, table decor, etc

For the synagogue: $1,500.

For the luncheon after the ceremony: $32. (The only cost for the private dining room was a 2% surcharge added on to the food.)

For the at-home reception: $750. (We rented a private club owned by a friend.)

We are paying 4290 for our venue on a Sunday. That includes a chapel, dinning area, and reception hall. They also provide a bartender and security guard as needed for state laws. We get a 3 hour meeting to plan all the decorations, linens, and center pieces that they provide, set up, and clean up. It also includes streaming our wedding online to a private site and a video of the wedding.

About 5,000. Includes dinner, centerpieces, ceremony space, chairs, chair covers, uplighting, limo service, the cake, an extra room to get ready in for me and my ladies, and a few other things I'm sure I'm forgetting haha

Mine is a brand new barn venue in my home town. $8,000 for venue only. For 12 hours. On a Saturday.

The rental fee at our venue was $3,000. We paid an additional $400 for an extra hour of time before the hour and a half we were already given before the ceremony (we did a first look and took most of our pictures before the wedding). There was a $700 fee to have the ceremony there as well. That included all the set up and clean up of ceremony chairs, chivari chairs and tables for the reception, linens, china/silverware/glassware/etc., cake cutting, bridal attendant and greeter for guests. Our venue was also our caterer and open bar, so that's really how they make their money! All in it cost us $15,000 to have our wedding at that venue.

ETA: Our wedding was a Saturday evening in July!

Also, change your avatar to something other than the rings! They are associated with spam/trolls.

Ours was normally 4000 for the weekend with the 8 bedroom B&B and the barn. My mom is the owners insurance person, so she waived her fee for the year and we got the place free for the weekend.

This is my venue..it's also right on the water so kinda get the best of both worlds. It has a full bridal suit on the third floor as well as a man cave in the basement. Kind of over budget but it's a state of the art barn and there really isn't much in my area..so I went for it and I'm so excited!

$2500 and that includes parking and tables and chairs.

Ours was $7500. October Friday wedding. 501 Union in Brooklyn. That covered only the space. No rentals or bar package (which also had to be provided by venue).

My venue rental fee is $3000 that's for ceremony and reception. It's an ocean front property, so it doesn't come with anything really lol
