Micro Wedding Frequently Asked Questions
Where would my wedding ceremony take place?
You have several beautiful options, each with its own distinctive character:
- Exchange vows in our peaceful meadow, nestled between native, old-growth trees, with plenty of open space for your guests to gather and enjoy the natural surroundings.
- Celebrate in our charming studio, which opens onto a spacious lawn and creates a bright, relaxed setting for your ceremony. This space comfortably accommodates up to 70 guests with theater-style seating.
- Make a memorable entrance down the staircase into our dining room or sunroom for a more intimate indoor ceremony. This is a lovely option for our smallest gatherings.
We would love to welcome you for a tour so you can experience each space in person and discover which setting feels like the perfect fit for your day.
Where would my reception take place?
For gatherings of up to 50 guests, you may enjoy an outdoor reception or gather indoors in our charming dining room and sunroom — an inviting, boutique-style space filled with natural light and views of our courtyard gardens. This area accommodates up to 25 guests for a seated reception or up to 50 guests for a standing-style gathering, creating an atmosphere that feels festive and relaxed.
For gatherings of more than 50 guests, your reception would be hosted in our beautiful outdoor spaces. These celebrations pair especially well with our studio, whose French doors open onto a spacious lawn that can accommodate a tent up to 20’ x 40’. You might choose to hold your ceremony in the studio and celebrate outdoors afterward — or exchange vows outside and use the studio for your buffet, bar, or dance floor. This flexible layout allows you to design a flow that works with your vision.
What is the venue rental fee for a wedding and reception?
Every wedding begins with two lovebirds — and a flock of people who care about them.
At Prairie Guest House, we offer three celebration styles depending on how large a flock you’d like to gather. Pricing varies based on the details of your celebration, but we’ve included a few sample scenarios below to give you the gist. For a personalized estimate tailored to your plans, please reach out for a custom quote.
Hummingbird Package (up to 25 guests)
Exchange vows in our peaceful meadow, then gather with your closest loved ones in the dining room and sunroom for an intimate seated reception. Perfect for a celebration filled with your favorite people as you begin building your nest together.
Includes 4 hours of event time.
Venue rental: $1,600 + tax
Songbird Package (26–50 guests)

Lovebird Package (51–70 guests)

Venue rental: $3,550 + tax
Because we are an intimate property and weddings make full use of our shared spaces, our celebrations are paired with a two-night whole-house stay. This allows you and your guests to fully enjoy the experience and settle into the weekend together. Our Guest House features nine charming guest rooms, each with a private bathroom, plus a Honeymoon Suite in the Main House for the couple. Guest House pricing varies depending on the season, so please reach out for a quote. For smaller ceremonies or receptions of fewer than 25 guests, please feel free to contact us — in some cases, we may be able to accommodate your celebration without a weekend stay.
What if I’d like to add more time to my celebration?
If you’d like a bit more time to enjoy the celebration, additional hours may be added in advance:
- For gatherings of up to 25 guests, additional time is available for $100 per hour
- For gatherings of 26–50 guests, additional time is available for $200 per hour
