In general, we believe the average budget of a couple getting married at Red Oak Valley is between $15,000-$22,000 for all wedding expenses (venue, photographer, catering, florals, attire, etc.). We have had some couples with smaller guests lists host beautiful weddings in the $12,000 - $15,000 range by using off-peak times and doing DIY projects, and we have had several amazing events here spending significantly more than the average.

Yes. Initially we allowed outside catering. We quickly learned that outside catering did not fit into our strict service standards. Some caterers were amazing, but some were far below our service standards. We had issues with caterers showing up hours late and unprepared. We had caterers run out of food and drink. We had caterers show up with no serving staff and we had caterers not show up at all. Although we had some great experiences with caterers we had too many bad experiences to continue to allow it.

That said, we set out to offer the best value and taste possible with the catering we offer at Red Oak Valley. We are certain that you will absolutely love both the value and service we offer.
