Cocktail Hour

For your guests, the wedding may begin with a one-hour cocktail reception in our outdoor garden location, The Grove, or The Executive Lounge & Deck, each with a view of our picturesque Laurel Run Stream. A fine selection of five hot and cold hors doeuvres are served to accompany the first hour of a five-hour continuous open bar.
 

Open Bar

Five continuous hours of a complete open bar is available. It consists of house brands of liquor, two types of domestic bottled beer, assorted wines, soft drinks, and a champagne toast. If bar overtime occurs, a fee of $3.50 per person per hour plus gratuity for three-quarters of the amount of guests you guarantee will be charged. This is paid to the Banquet Manager that evening.

An upgrade to Premium brands may be added for an additional $6.00 charge per person. Cordial carts featuring Baileys Irish Cream, Drambue, Frangelica, Sambucca, Grand Marnier, Kahlua and Amaretto Di Saronna are offered and based on consumption for $80.00 per bottle or $3.75 per person.

Traveling beverage carts are available throughout dinner service to complement the stationary bars in your ballroom. An additional 5% bar gratuity will apply to this service. Imagine your favorite Martini being poured through a 300lb ice carving, flowing down a narrow cut in the ice served chilled in your Martini glass price is $400.00.
 

Wedding Cake

Baked and decorated on the premises by our pastry chefs. A variety of styles and flavors are available. The cake is included in our wedding package, however, you may choose to purchase the cake from a local bakery. If so, we will serve it at no additional cost and will be taken out of the package.

Flowers

Fresh floral centerpieces for all guest tables as well as the buffet, bridal table and cake top can be beautifully arranged by our house florist. A thirty-five dollar centerpiece per table is included in our package. If you select our florist it would be our recommendation to meet with them to discuss your own individual style and color of the centerpieces. You may also decide to use your own florist. If so, we will not add the cost of the centerpieces in the package. If you are supplying your own table decorations it is the responsibility of the client to have the decorations assembled and placed on the tables. If The Woodlands staff will be required to arrange this on your behalf a $200.00 charge will apply.

Menu

A four-course dinner consisting of an appetizer, salad, entre, and dessert is included in the standard wedding package. You may choose to offer your guests a choice for their entre selection. It will be necessary to identify your selections on your invitations and supply us with your totals in advance. You may offer up to three. Combination entrees are also available. For the convenience of your
guests and the waitstaff it will be required that you provide us for each table a listing, usually a professional looking table tent, to identify the name of each guest and their entire selection.

 

Linens

White and colored linens are available to coordinate with your wedding party. Floor length linens with overlays and chair covers can also be arranged. Tables can accommodate up to 12 guests. Please see price list on our variety of linens. A diagram will be supplied so that table assignments may be made.
 

Candlelight

Votive or tapered candles will be placed on each table in addition to silver candelabras for the bridal table.
 

Ceremony Areas

Many brides are looking to arrange their wedding ceremonies outdoors. Weather permitting, our outdoor garden location, The Grove can easily be transformed into a beautiful wedding ceremony setting. A ballroom would also be reserved in case of inclement weather. Photographs of these arrangements can be seen by visiting our Sales Department. Your ceremony decorations, music for your procession and sound system will also be arranged if necessary and priced accordingly. These expenses, as well as the rental of the ceremony area (Indoors or out) are not part of the standard package.

Complimentary Arrangements

For weddings with one hundred guests or more, a complimentary bridal suite is provided for the bride and groom on the evening of their wedding.
