Below are some
unique ceremony locations, some are more affordable than others, though less
than the Grand Ballroom at a 5 star location. Most
places are available for small wedding ceremonies, though some may accommodate
larger parties. Some may also have reception
facilities. Please contact the locations for their regulations and fees.
(Most parks only require a small permit fee but limit the
number of guests.)

officiate and up to twelve additional guests). Our packages offer an
affordable alternative to the traditional locations that usually require
a much larger minimum. Our low number of guest rooms (only 3) offers
the bride and groom a unique opportunity to plan for exclusive use of
the inn for both their ceremony/reception as well as their overnight
stay for as low as $435.00.
