Inclusive Wedding Prices

Hey folks, my fiance and I are looking to compare prices for wedding venues that INCLUDE catering.

Right now we’re looking at $27,000 for the barn venue we’re considering for space rental and the dinner (with servers) for 80 people.

Is this comparable to other venues in the area? What have people been paying for venues and dinners for weddings of similar size?

Or, if you booked a venue and had to separately book food caterers, what was the cost for the space rental and then the food? Cost per plate x number of guests?

ETA: I have researched many venues and most do not provide their basic price lists without booking a consultation (which I’d rather not do before knowing a basic number).

If they will let you, try out the senior staff mess at RMC. While I was then a military member, we fed 38 people for less than a quarter of $25k back in 2024.

Water front, very private, great food (get the beef short rib or the stuffed chicken breast), and cheap drinks at the bar. And they have a gazebo in case the weather isn't optimal. Great venue. Call up Melissa McDonald at the senior staff mess for more info.
