  • Wedding Pricing & Planning Information

    Things you will want to know before booking the venue, and while planning your wedding at the Chart House

    broken image

    Inclusive Wedding Packages

    Food and beverage is always done in house. In addition, we include planning and day of coordination. To this, you can add photography, video, officiant, bakery, flowers, and decorations, to create a package that is easy to manage. In addition, our packages can be paid in monthly or quarterly installments... $2000 down + monthly payments, so long as you are paid in full one month before the wedding. The payment plan will be memorialized in your quote / contract.

    Money, Apples vs. Oranges, and Saving Money

    Our prices are very competitive but they might not appear so at first glance. Why, you ask?

    Because most places will give you only a low introductory number, and a stack of documents and maybe a bunch of vendors names, which you will have to sift through to find out your actual cost. We will give you your wedding cost accurate to the penny, up front. No guessing. No surprises. By the time you add everything you will eventually need to create the same wedding elsewhere, you will find we are 20-30% less. We can do this because we do so much more, so we do not need to have a high margin on every item. Other venues and other vendors only do one thing so they have to charge more.

     

    Still, if you find our prices higher than what you budgeted, we can help you can save money two ways:

    1. Ask and choose a date that is closer to the present... if we happen to have something open in the next 6-9 months, we may be able to offer you some deals.

    2. Consider a micro wedding in the next 6 months, or further out on a Sunday through a Thursday (except Sundays before national holidays).

    Venue Rental

    Venue Rental from 8AM to midnight, bridal salon, groom's room, tables and chairs, table linens, ceiling draping, cake table, gift table, snack and coffee table, cleaning and free parking are all included in your venue fee, which is between $2000 and $5000, depending on season and the day of the week.

     

    The wedding season in Minnesota is from Late April to early November. Prices are higher during this time. Saturdays are the most expensive days, followed by Fridays, and then Sundays. Long weekend Sundays and some big Holidays are priced higher as well (staffing a wedding on NYE costs more too).

     

    Wedding Ceremonies at the Royal CLiff can be added to your package for $1000. Setting up a wedding ceremony entails setting up chairs, sound system, having someone to help coordinate the wedding party, and then cleaning and resetting after. This also includes flipping the ceremony indoors in case of bad weather outside.

    Dinner

    How much is Dinner?

     

    From $25 per person and up, depending on choices. A current menu can be found by following the Planning Tools link further below.

     

    What will your dinner cost?

     

    Take the number of guests you are inviting and remove a quarter. For example, if you are inviting 200 people, you can expect 150 to RSVP yes and most of those to actually attend.

     

    As such $25 x 150 = $3750 plus tax and service.

    This is the cost for a buffet meal, where we invite tables to help temselves (so they do not have to wait in line, but still do the "work" themselves). A plated meal is $7 more per person because it takes a lot of staff to pull it off.

     

    That's it? Maybe. Compare the cost of dinner to the Food and Beverage minimum.

    If teh dinner cost is higher than the minimum, then, yes, that's it.

    If it is lower, then you need to spend more money to meet the minimum either on appetizers or the bar.

     

    What the heck is a Food & Beverage Minimum, and Why? As of October 2024, our F&B Mininums are $7000 on Saturdays, and $3000 on all other days (with a few exceptions like national holidays). Why have these?

     

    Most people want to get married on a Saturday. We, however, only have 52 Saturdays per year, and about half of them are in low demand (November through April). So we need to make the most of the 26 Saturdays that most people want, and in order to do that, we have these minimums to ensure we don't fill every Saturday in season with 40 person events, which are not enough to pay the bills.

    DJ

    The DJ is also done in house because we want you to have an amazing experience.

     

    First, our house sound and lights systems are far above anything anyone would ever rent and bring in for an event.

    A typical mobile DJ rig costs between $5,000 and $10,000 for a really nice one. The Royal Cliff system cost just over $250,000. It is also tuned for room so there are specific spotlights, speakers calibrated, etc.

     

    Further, our DJs know our systems well, and also work well with our event managers / day of coordinators, so that activities and announcements are done seamlessly, no matter what happens behind the curtain. Having a team that works together often yields much better results than an ad-hoc group of vendors that met minutes before the start of your event.

     

    Not only that, but you get a great DJ with a great system, for a about as much as you would pay a good mobile DJ.
