Rates & Amenities
Our delight is to serve you! While there are common elements to every wedding, no two are the same, and every couple deals with the details of their day differently. With that in mind, we keep our offerings simple. We will be as involved as you want us to be and provide help as you desire. Whatever your preference, you will have exclusive use of the venue all day long, from 10 am until midnight.

Saturday $6,500

Bar Options: Thistlewood Manor is fully licensed to sell and serve alcohol for your convenience. Our bar packages give you a variety of options to create a customized menu to fit your style and budget. It is the only required onsite service. Your bar may include beer and wine only or a full bar with signature drinks. Service is available as an open bar, consumption, or cash bar. Rates depend upon various choices and lengths of an open bar but average between $15-$28+ per person, including the alcohol, glassware, setups, and bartender.
