no :( you would think so because you can price shop for everything you need to bring in, but they make you use all of their house vendors and it adds up quickly...plus the site fees at most are outrageous. there are some places that you don't need to bring your own stuff in (Raphael's) but their charge per person is still really high.
FH and I originally really wanted a vineyard wedding... until we heard about the site fees. Some of them are more outrageous than others. But they have to charge them because they are basically shutting down the business for the day.
We're doing e-pics at a vineyard instead so we can have that atmosphere :)

Is it cheaper to have a wedding in the Vineyards?
THey are all so beautiful, but what I found was a lot of them had site fees $10,000+, and one of them even quoted me $250 pp AFTER a $16,000 site fee. :/

Yeah we got pricing from all sorts of vineyards and they were all expensive. The site fees on top of other fees rental fees, restrictions it just was too expensive and too many constrictions.

I hear that it's expensive because you have to bring everything in. And if you do a wedding there it's definitely a good idea to hire a wedding planner

our friends just had a reasonably priced wedding at martha clara..it was beautiful, and a great time
they ended up working with a 'newer' caterer, and had it buffet style
had 3 types of beer, 3 of wine, and a few types of liquor
one of the best weddings we've been to though!
