Destination Wedding Compared to One-Day Wedding

Weddings at Sylvan Dale Ranch consist of one or two-day events. Two-day events are called “Destination Weddings”. Folks often want to know what a full “Destination Wedding” would cost compared to a one-day wedding. This is hard to break down because weddings are customized to menu choices for rehearsal dinners, guest counts, bar options, or extra add-ons. This makes it very difficult to give a blanket quote.

Here we will focus on breaking down the big differences between a one-day wedding and a full “Destination Wedding”. Listed below are the different packages you can choose from for a one or two-day event and what they require or come with.

One Day Wedding Includes Your ceremony and reception. One hour rehearsal for your ceremony. One night of lodging is held for your guests. Day of coordination. Onsite Catering. Plus, chairs, linens, basic set up, tear down, an arch, champagne toasts, and cake service.

Destination Wedding Includes Rehearsal Dinner. One hour rehearsal for your ceremony. Your ceremony and reception. Two nights of lodging are held for your guests. Day of coordination. Onsite Catering. Plus, chairs, linens, basic set up, tear down, an arch, champagne toasts, and cake service. *We also ask you to guarantee us cabin bookings for 10 small cabins and 2 guest houses (so there is a cabin minimum for both nights).
