The Hidden Costs of Weddings—and How an All-Inclusive Venue Saves You Money
Planning a wedding can be exciting—but it can also come with unexpected costs that quickly add up. At Rose Briar Place, our all-inclusive wedding packages are designed to help couples enjoy their dream wedding without breaking the bank.
In this blog, we’ll uncover the hidden costs couples often overlook and show how choosing an all-inclusive venue like Rose Briar Place can save time, stress, and money.
Hidden Cost #1: Vendor Fees and Coordination
Many couples don’t realize how much time and money can go into hiring multiple vendors separately—photographers, DJs, caterers, florists, and coordinators.
Extra fees: Booking each vendor individually can result in service fees and travel costs.
Scheduling headaches: Coordinating multiple vendors can take hundreds of hours.
Risk of miscommunication: Without a central point of contact, mistakes happen.
How Rose Briar Place saves you money: Our packages include the 4 C’s—Catering, Cakes, Coordinator, and MC—so you have fewer vendors to manage and fewer extra costs to worry about.
Hidden Cost #2: Décor, Linens, and Rentals
Many venues require couples to rent tables, chairs, linens, and décor separately. These costs can escalate quickly, especially for large weddings.
How Rose Briar Place saves you money:
We provide linens and centerpieces included in your package.
Couples can bring DIY décor or personal touches without extra fees.
No hidden rental costs for tables, chairs, or standard wedding décor.
Hidden Cost #3: Catering and Food Charges
Food is one of the largest expenses for any wedding. But sometimes couples are surprised by:
Per-plate costs that escalate with guest count.
Additional charges for custom or cultural dishes.
Fees for outside catering when venues don’t allow it.
How Rose Briar Place saves you money:
Our packages include catering for your guests, fully customizable.
Want to bring in family recipes or cultural foods? You can without paying extra catering fees.
Hidden Cost #4: Time and Stress (It Has a Price!)
Even if you budget perfectly, time spent coordinating every detail has value—stressful planning can affect your enjoyment and even your health.
How Rose Briar Place saves you money:
Our experienced coordinators handle logistics so you can enjoy your wedding day.
All-inclusive packages mean less time spent on research, calls, and coordination.
You save hundreds of hours—time you can spend celebrating with your guests instead.
