Micro Wedding Frequently Asked Questions

Where would my wedding ceremony take place?

• Exchange vows in our peaceful meadow, nestled beneath 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 — 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 30 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 30 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 venue time. Venue rental: $1,600 + tax Songbird Package (31–50 guests) Celebrate your ceremony in our charming studio, then transition to the dining room and sunroom for a relaxed, cocktail-style reception where guests can mingle, share a toast, and celebrate the beginning of your new life together. Includes 5 hours of venue time. Venue rental: $2,300 + tax Lovebird Package (51–70 guests) Say “I do” beneath a canopy of native trees and continue the celebration with a tented reception. Host your buffet and bar inside the studio for easy flow and comfort. Experience an unforgettable gathering as family and friends celebrate the union of two lovebirds. Includes 6 hours of venue time. 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 30 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 30 guests, additional time is available for $100 per hour. For gatherings of 31–50 guests, additional time is available for $200 per hour. For gatherings of 51–70 guests, additional time is available for $300 per hour.

Are tables and chairs included?

Tables and chairs for up to 30 guests are included when your reception is hosted in our Dining Room and Sunroom. We partner with A Classic Party Rental, so feel free to reach out to them for a quote on any other tables, chairs, linens, etc. that you might need for the studio or outdoor events.

What if I’d like to have a tent for my outdoor reception?

We partner with A Classic Party Rental for tent rentals, so feel free to reach out to them for a quote. Our property can accommodate a 20’x40’ tent. For all tented events, there is a $350 tented-event fee. Please note that this fee does not include the cost of the tent rental itself.

Am I allowed to bring my own catering?

Absolutely! You are welcome to bring in the caterer of your choice. Please note that kitchen access is not available, so all food should arrive ready to serve. This allows you the flexibility to select menu options that best fit your vision for the day.

How do I reserve my date?

Your date is secured with a 20% non-refundable deposit at the time of booking. The remaining balance, along with a $500 damage deposit, will be charged to the card on file one month prior to your event. Dates remain available until a deposit is received, so we recommend reserving early to ensure your preferred date is held just for you.

What is the difference between the booking deposit and the damage deposit?

Booking deposit A 20% non-refundable deposit that is collected at the time of booking to reserve your date. This amount is applied toward your total venue rental fee. Damage deposit A $500 damage deposit that is charged to the card on file along with your remaining balance one month prior to your event. This deposit is fully refundable, provided the space is left in good condition with no property damage.

Any other ideas to make my event even more special?
