payment schedules

In order to keep the property fully private for you, we are not able to send open dates until we see what you're interested in! It will all depend on if you're selecting 0, 1 or 2 Enchanted Cottage/FGH nights. After we see your selections, we can give you accurate date availability! We do not offer multiple events per day.

We will only be accepting a limited number of weddings per year. When capacity is reached, our books will close and we will not be accepting anymore events for that year. 2026 is fully booked. 2027 is 70% booked. All April-June 2027 Fridays and Saturdays are booked.

If you look at the images below, that's a perfect example of what the greenhouse usually looks like. During our plant season (Mid-April - Late October), it's full of plants and flowers, and the stumps in the walkway are always filled depending on the season! That's the beauty of our venue - it's gorgeous without anything extra added, relying on nature to do the work.

We are closed for greenhouse weddings November - March and do not offer weddings during this timeframe.

Food and beverage minimum? None to be found here! We do not provide food in house, however we do provide a recommended vendor list for you! You're welcome to chose from our listed vendors who have been here before and do an excellent job, or do your own research and bring someone in. If you bring in a caterer not on our list, please have them contact us - they will have questions! It's also popular to cater from a favorite restaurant, bring in a food truck or have a pot luck. Vaughan House staff is not permitted to handle food, so please make sure you have all cutlery and food servers needed!

We provide food tables that will be setup underneath our deck where the Enchantry is located.

When it comes to food costs, a typical wedding caterer will be roughly $85-$125 per head, depending on the food type and services you contract with them. To cut down on food costs, food trucks are always a good option, they're a huge hit with guests and pair perfectly with the backyard vibes!

We recommend El Gordo's Taco Truck! They can feed 50 guests for about $1400.
For desserts, we recommend the Happy Waffle! Waffle desserts for less than $1000 for 50 guests. 
Please note: We don't guarantee this pricing as it could always change!

Because our in-house team is trained specifically for the Vaughan House venue, high-touch service flow, our venue layout and policies, most couples choose to keep the bar experience in-house for the best guest experience. However, you are permitted to bring in a third-party bartending team for a small fee upon approval. Please see contract for additional requirements.

Please note: This does NOT include alcohol. Legally, you must purchase the alcohol, deliver it to the venue the day of the event and surrender it to the bar. By law, you are still required to secure a VA ABC Banquet license. The direct link will be sent to you after officially booking!

Please note: Bar services do not apply to your minimum spend requirement for weekend dates.

Alcohol

music

Please create a Spotify or Apple Music playlist and share it with us. Based on your music answers in the questionnaire, our coordinators will connect to our sound system and play your music when required. Because of the unique location of our space, we cannot allow a DJ, live bands (string instruments like acoustic guitar, harp, cello, etc. are fine!), microphones, amps or additional speakers. 

food

Yes! Most of our couples are from out of state!  Hotels/airbnbs, officiants, caterers, local restaurants, hair/makeup, things to do, etc. all tried and true, all offering expert services. 

Reception Decor & Styling (along with Candlelight) is our #1 added service. We want to see your Pinterest board with all your inspiration photos! Be sure to pin colors, arrangements, setups, etc. that you've seen and love. We will recreate it for you, completely unique and custom to you. We supply the decor, set it all up and tear it all down. It will be completed and done when your guests arrive on the wedding day.
