Everything You Need to Know
Pricing & Packages
Packages customized to meet your needs. Our primary package includes a 2-night stay at our beautiful Lakehouse, accommodating up to 6 guests, Bridal Suite, Guest Tables (linens not included), Premium Wood Crossback Chairs for Ceremony and Reception, Personalized Set-up and Breakdown, Professional Planning Guidance and “Day of” Coordinator to manage your event details.
Our Saureel Estate Weekend is $14,500 and runs Friday 4pm through Sunday 11am, hosting up to 150 guests (expandable to 225 for $35 per guest above 150). Our Sunday Under the Oak package starts at $4,500 for intimate celebrations up to 100 guests, Sundays 1pm–8pm. Micro weddings, elopements and smaller packages are customizable based on availability.
50% of your estimate is due to book the date, along with a signed contract. To reserve, a $2,000 initial retainer holds your wedding date, and the remaining balance plus a $1,000 refundable security deposit is due 90 days prior to your wedding.
Yes. We offer a flexible payment schedule — payments total 50% of the venue investment within 60 days of booking, with the balance due 90 days before your wedding.
No hidden costs. Additional charges only apply for guests beyond 150 ($35 per guest), optional tent rentals, or Food & Beverage Event Support if your caterer does not provide full staffing. The $1,000 security deposit is refunded without incident.
Dates are sold on a limited annual calendar, so cancellations are not refundable. If we can support you with an alternative date, or if we are able to resell your date, we may reimburse you less administrative fees.
Most couples reserve their wedding date 12 to 18 months in advance, especially for peak season and popular weekends. We also accommodate shorter timelines when availability allows.

Catering & Bar
We are a venue, not a catering company, which gives you the flexibility to choose the catering experience that best fits your event. We provide a carefully curated list of Preferred Catering Partners to guide you.

Plated dinners, family-style service, stations, and other catering styles are also welcome when coordinated with your caterer and planning team.

We encourage using our preferred partners who work closely with us to ensure quality. If you decide to use an outside vendor, an approval process is required and fees can incur based on the additional meetings required to successfully plan your event.

Children are welcomed but must be supervised by a designated adult. Couples’ pets are allowed with pre-approval, and service animals are always accepted and expected.

Yes, of course! Reach out and we’ll gladly share galleries from real weddings held across the estate.
