We believe in open communication regarding costs, but because some event needs vary significantly, our event pricing can be customized to accommodate the diverse needs of our clients and their events. 

Most of our full-day wedding events are straightforward and I can email you out our digital pricing brochure for your review right away after you fill out our contact form. 

Saturdays in September and October are our most requested dates so we will only allow for full wedding packages on those dates. 

Having your event on a Sunday or Thursday is a great way to save thousands. 

Yes, we have a preferred list of amazing caterers and food trucks that have been to Maidenwood, but also allow you to bring your own licensed and insured catering too. 

Maidenwood has a full liquor license so we can provide you and your guests Beer, Wine, and Mixed Drinks for you event. We will provide licensed bar staff and all supplies needed.

We have no minimum purchase requirements and reasonable pricing so we really feel this is the best combination with you not needing to hire an expensive outside beverage company and/or having to bring a vehicle full of drinks to and from the venue.

Our reception barn and restroom is ADA accessible. With that being said, our property is primarily in its natural state. Our trails are not paved. We have some graveled and lawn areas, while the rest of our property is mowed grass trails, including paths to our ceremony sites. Every event includes use of our six-passenger cart (including driver) that can help transport a guest to a specific location to participate in the entire event. We would be happy to discuss specifics with either the guest or the client to ensure everyone feels welcome and comfortable during their visit.
