Each venue has a set of different policies that will involve various associated fees and costs accordingly. Generally speaking, a basic - very basic- wedding and reception for about 100 guests will average about $40K. Hope this helps! There is a whole section on my BLOG on Winery Weddings and their hidden costs - do check it out when you have a moment, it has a lot of helpful detail. My best, Kerry Lee Hi Katie;

They know suggestions how to stay within your budget. You can have a wedding on any budget. The reality is that there are always choices to be made on any budget. Even $300,000 wedding budget brides have to make choices. So do $25,000 budget weddings. As do $3000 weddings. Can you have a deluxe wine pairing dinner with lobster and filet mignon for 200 on $3,000? Not likely. But can you have some kind of wedding and some kind of reception on a $3,000 budget yes. But with choices. Your professional coordinator/planner will keep you "real" about what it is you can afford and guide you in the right direction. The rest is up to you: if you are open to being flexible and having to make choices on your budget. Good luck and thanks for writing! Hi Rachelle,

I would love one but I'm not sure I can afford a coordinator. Can a coordinator help with an extremely small budget? I would love one but I’m not sure I can afford a coordinator.

I do encourage you to sit down in person and meet each person you are considering as a coordinator. You may find you have a great connection with him/her and this is also important. Good luck! -Kerry Lee, Owner Hi All,

I had a girlfriend who was getting married and talked with her and while her Website shows images of all the weddings (including her own) she oversaw as a venue manager for the venue, it looks as though she does not show images of actual weddings she coordinated or produced from the beginning and managed from every standpoint like a professional coordinator would do. It was from her seat as venue manager , which is really different. Just be careful.

We just learned this. It's not that big of a deal, though, because we used a Full Service Caterer (because Kerry Lee requires it thank god) who knew what they were doing and only iced down the amount of bottles necessary for the event. There were very few unopened bottles we had to take hm. w/ us. Just stuff to think about as you're planning a winery wedding.
