Packages
Host an unforgettable wedding at Williams Orchard Estate where you can create the bespoke wedding of your dreams on our picturesque rolling acres. The framework below is meant to help you plan your idyllic event. No two celebrations are ever the same and we look forward to answering your specific questions while you create your prefect day.
Williams Orchard Wedding Package – Our wedding package is designed to include all elements of the historic Williams Orchard. The most romantic day of your life deserves a stunning and serene setting that can be found stowed away in acres of our orchard. Our couples are typically most interested in the below features, all of which are included within the rental:
Ceremony Site – 2 different locations to chose from
Private settings overlooking the orchard or in the old growth forest
Various seating options available for 300+ guests.
Private parking
Bride & Groom Suites–
Utilizing the onsite 1928 Sears & Roebuck farmhouse and 1940’s era workshop, we have independent bride and groom suites. Bridal parties will enjoy the completely restored farmhouse, while the groomsmen are extended the men’s workshop space.
Williams Orchard Reception Venue-
We offer two wedding reception options:
Restored Barn – Our 1870’s era barn has been renovated and restored and can play host to your wedding reception. Depending on seating preferences, the barn can hold up to 285 people. Options and ideas should be discussed with Williams Orchard once a rough estimate on size is known.
Tented Wedding in Orchard – Many enjoy the beauty of our 135 acres. We offer tented weddings of any size. Our base fee does not include the cost of renting the tent but we have preferred vendor pricing we can share with our brides and grooms to secure the tent of your dreams. Alcohol must be purchased through Williams Orchard, but we support caterers of choice.
Rental Package Fee:
Our base package includes ceremony site, bride and groom suites, tables and chairs. For Saturdays the rental price is $6,500 and for Friday or Sunday the rental price is $4,000. This does not include tent rental, alcohol or food catering. For a Sunday wedding on a Holiday weekend, the price is $5,500. The below highlights several additional offerings that are not required to be purchased, but are offered as options.
Other unique offerings:
Ceremony in the Forest – We do have a beautiful old growth forest on the property where we have staged dramatic ceremonies in this unique setting. While we have ceremony sites that included in the base rental feel, hosting your wedding in the forest is $1,500 – largely due to the labor needed to stage the area.
Dinner in the Orchard – This has become a popular option as the canopy created by the apple trees is simply stunning. Dinner in the orchard will cost $500 due to the time and resource it takes to set-up and break-down the area.
Day-of Coordinating or Wedding Planning - Many of our Brides value a partner when navigating this important day. While not a prerequisite of renting the grounds, we do have our own team of in-house planners and coordinators to help you plan and execute your weekend if desired. The exact engagement can be tailored to your desires but often falls within two categories:
Day Of Coordinator - $1,700
Full-Service Wedding Planner - $4,000
