WILL WE HAVE THE VENUE TO OURSELVES?

During your specific rental time, yes! However, petite weddings are designed to be bite size and therefore there may be other events on your day as well. We'll never double book your time slot and as soon as you reserve, that slot is no longer available to anyone else! Plus, our amazing team has great recommendations of restaurants/activities around the area that you can use to fill your day for additional time with your guests.

HOW MUCH DOES THIS COST?

A Petite Wedding at Bavaria Downs is $4,995. This cost includes our wonderful venue team and the team of vendors to make your day special!

HOW MANY GUESTS CAN WE INVITE?

Usually, we can accommodate 25 guests. For an additional $30/person, you may invite up to 50 guests and will need to do additional parking. Guest counts over 50 would become a traditional booking, in which our team will work with you on customized pricing, and subject to a food/beverage minimum.

WHAT TIMES ARE AVAILABLE?

9am - 12pm  |  1pm - 4pm  |  5pm - 8pm

HOW IS TIME ALLOCATED DURING OUR RESERVATION?

Your experience is approximately three hours, with time for arrival and departure. It will be structured generally like this:

Couple Arrival & First Look - 30 minutes

Guest Arrival & Wedding Party Photos - 30 minutes

Ceremony - 30 minutes

Mini Reception (Festivities, Dancing, Photos) - 90 minutes

CAN I CUSTOMIZE MY DAY?

The best part of having a Petite Wedding is not having to make tough decisions and spending hours on end researching and planning! However, our catering partner will work with you per dietary concerns and some of our vendor partners offer limited add-ons or upgrades. Our officiant will also reach out to you to make sure that your ceremony is just how you want it to ensure you have a stress-free experience.

CAN I GET READY ONSITE?

Please plan to arrive onsite ready to go just as if you were to walk down the aisle right away. You will be able to take photos in our suites mimicking your "getting ready" but there is not enough time allotted for full hair and makeup onsite.

WILL I HAVE ACCESS TO THE ENTIRE VENUE?

Yes. You'll be able to access all parts of the venue and grounds for the duration of your Petite Wedding. Your ceremony will be held in the same location as all others that day, and will be selected by the Site Director per any weather restrictions.

WILL WE RECEIVE A MARRIAGE LICENSE?

Your marriage license must be obtained yourself and brought to the venue the day of the ceremony. The officiant will assist day of to complete the license.

ARE PETS WELCOME?

Pets are a case-by-case basis, depending on weather and other weddings that day. If you are looking to have your four-legged friend by your side, our Site Director will work with you to see what your options are.

WHAT IF I HAVE MY OWN OFFICIANT OR PHOTOGRAPHER?

Great! You are more than welcome to provide your own officiant or photographer. However, money will not be deducted from the package price. Our officiant will still reach out for a consultation to provide guidelines and structure to ensure you stay within the time restraints for your ceremony.

WHAT IS INCLUDED WITH FLORAL?

Your Floral inclusion comes with a standard (non-customizable) whites & greenery bouquet & boutonnière or two bouquets or two boutonnières. Simple, neutral, and easy! If you would like to have a custom floral experience, you can upgrade to reserve one of our Bellagala floral designers for your wedding. Otherwise, you are also welcome to bring in floral from an outside vendor.
