Pricing
No hidden fees.
No surprises.
Most venue websites end with "contact us for pricing." This one doesn't. Build your estimate below, and if the numbers work, come and see the place.
What every wedding includes
Before the number, here's what's in it. We put this first because a price without context is just a number. You should know what you're getting before you decide if it makes sense.
The whole place. Yours.
Every booking is full exclusive use of the property. The ballroom, the rooftop, the ceremony site, the terrace, the manor library, the kitchen, all 30 acres. No other weddings. No other couples. No strangers in the corridor wondering who you are.
Most venues rent you a room for the afternoon. Rixey gives you a home for the day. Your wedding, built the way you actually want it.
A coordinator. Included.
Not someone who shows up at 2pm with a clipboard. A coordinator who has run hundreds of weddings on this specific property, knows which vendors work well here, and has seen what can go sideways and how to stop it before you notice. She is part of your day from the start. This is not an add-on.
Bring your own bar. Keep your money.
Rixey is BYOB. You choose the beer, the wine, the spirits. You buy them at retail, no markup, no corkage fee, no required wine list. Our licensed in-house bartenders handle service professionally. Couples consistently say this saved them thousands compared to per-drink venue pricing. That is genuinely the point.
Your people, your vendors.
Hire your cousin's band. Use the caterer your family loves. Book the photographer whose work you've followed for two years. The only exception is bartending, which our licensed in-house team handles. Everything else is yours to choose. We have a vetted recommendation list if you want a starting point. It's a list, not a mandate.
The borrow shed.
Over a decade of weddings at Rixey has left behind a real collection: arbors, signs, table numbers, easels, lanterns, card boxes, candleholders, frames. All of it is available to use at no charge. Most couples who find this out end up cutting a meaningful chunk from their rentals budget.
What you see is what you pay.
No cake-cutting fee. No corkage fee. No service charge added at the end. No venue insurance requirement buried in page 6 of the contract. We quote a number and that is what you pay. The calculator below gives you a real estimate, not a range designed to get you on the phone.

The full picture
What you'll spend beyond
the venue fee.
Most couples arrive having researched venues but not having priced out the rest. Here's what the other categories typically look like, so you can go into planning with a real number in mind, not a guess.
Catering
The biggest variable, and the one that most affects your total. It depends heavily on service style, menu, and guest count. Food trucks and family-style options tend to run lower than plated full-service. You choose your own caterer. We can connect you with people who know this kitchen.
Bar
Since Rixey is BYOB, you buy at retail. What you spend depends on what you serve and how long the reception runs. Beer and wine only is meaningfully less than a full open bar. Our in-house bartenders handle service and that cost is included in your venue fee.
Photography
Full-day wedding photography varies widely based on experience, coverage hours, and whether you add videography. If you want a photographer who already knows how the light moves on this property, our recommendation list is a good starting point.
Florals
The range here is enormous and almost entirely a style choice. Simple greenery and personal flowers look beautiful and cost far less than full floral installations. Couples who use the borrow shed often find they need far less than they originally planned.
Music
A DJ and a live band are very different price points. Ceremony musicians (a string quartet, an acoustic guitar) are usually a separate booking. What you spend here is largely about how important live music is to you.
Tent (if applicable)
Not required. If you're planning an outdoor reception and want weather insurance, a tent with flooring and sidewalls is worth pricing out. Many couples skip it and use the ballroom as the rain plan, which works well.
Everything else
Officiant. Guest transportation. Hair and makeup for the wedding party. Cake or dessert. Signage, stationery, favors. These add up but most are optional and all are yours to decide.
Elopements
Small wedding.
Full estate.
Elopement packages are available Monday through Wednesday for up to 12 guests. Packages range from $950 to $1,250.
You get the whole manor (the ceremony site, the ballroom, the grounds) for your ceremony and a small celebration. No compromises on the setting.
