Because our space is so unique, we’ve found that the day runs so much smoother when the core services come from our in-house team. Create your own package to utilize florals, photography, custom decor & styling, the cottage and more! By working primarily with our in-house team, we’re able to guide the day with intention and care, protecting the vision, preventing chaos and making the magic feel effortless. This keeps the process smooth, the day cohesive and the magic intact. 

Your payment schedule will depend on the size of your package and year of your wedding. Typically, 2027 will be broken into 1/5s and 2028 will be broken into 1/6s. A breakdown is sent to you after your brochure is submitted. Adding on our in-house services after your date is set is easy! The extra cost will be rolled into your future payments.

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 nights. A date that could work for a greenhouse wedding with zero nights wouldn't work for a wedding with two nights. After we see your selections, we can give you accurate date availability!

2026 is at maximum capacity. All remaining dates will have a $20,000 minimum.

There are certain essentials you are going to invest in for your wedding no matter what, whether we do it in-house, you bring in an outside vendor or do a full DIY.

How to reach the minimums for a Friday/Saturday/Sunday/Holiday Date:

First, select one:

Flora & Fauna (Up to 50 guests) - $5000
Two Realms (Up to 25 guests) - $7500

Then, select multiple in-house services. We offer:

 Multiple floral packages
Photography
Videography
Content creation
Multiple decor/styling packages
Additional bistro lighting
Vintage china rental
The Enchanted Cottage
The Fairy Godmother's House (for 2027 & beyond)

Create your own package using the services above to add up to the minimum. Our weekend dates are the first to be fully booked in our calendar each year. Does that mean the minimum is for the base package alone? No! It's selecting a base package that is $5000 or $7500 and adding multiple in-house services to add up to that minimum. We do not offer food in-house and bar packages do not apply to the minimum. See more information about alcohol/food below.

Out of your budget? No problem! We offer Monday - Thursday dates as well! During our wedding season, we typically have a wedding every single day of the week. The only selection required to book with us a base package: Flora & Fauna or Two Realms. After that, you are welcome to add our in-house services, bring in an outside team or do a full DIY.

Both our Flora & Fauna (5o guests) and Two Realms packages (25 guests) include:

- 2 hours of optional set-up time pre-ceremony
- Full guest count on-site for 4 hours
- Approx. 1 hour of clean up time
- 2 On-Site Coordinators
- Ceremony chairs (setup/tear down)
- Reception tables & chairs (setup/tear down) 
- Enchantry doubles as the rain plan
- Bistro lighting at Enchantry
- Farmhouse tables for food set up
- Cake & Gift Tables
- Built-in Bar
- Playing of desired music (no DJ needed!)
- Dance area with bistro lighting
- Hardscaped firepit & wood burning fireplace
- Trash takeaway 
- Restroom (no porta potties!)

For 2027 and beyond, we are planning to have a catering prep area and more food/drink/cake storage within the Fairy Godmother's House. More details will be available mid-2026! 

It would be silly to call ourselves a greenhouse venue and not include any plants! 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.

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 large 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.

Nature vibes?
ACOTAR x Lord of the Rings?
Twilight x Harry Potter?
Narnia x The Shire?
Velaris x The Forbidden Forest?
Dark, moody jewel tones?
Fresh, bright pastels?
Enchanted Forest? Secret Garden? Tea Party?
Wildflowers x Disco Balls?
Whimsigoth? All white?

Done.

If you do not select our Decor & Styling services, you have greenhouse site access up to 2 hours prior to the ceremony start time to setup. You will also need to designate someone to stay after to pack up all your belongings.

Adding 1 night of stay will allow you to check in the day of your wedding. We recommend arriving with hair and makeup done, allowing you to focus on getting dressed before the ceremony. After the wedding is over, you'll come back down to the cottage for your honeymoon night.

Adding 2 nights of stay will allow you to check in the day before and wake up the morning of in the cottage. Hair/makeup can come to you and you'll have the entire day to get ready on-site. When it's time for your ceremony, our coordinators will come down and get you. You'll have the evening at the greenhouse and go back down to the cottage for your honeymoon night.

Adding the cottage on also opens up a new realm of photo/video opportunities and possibilities! These options are available for our Couple Only Elopements as well. If you do not add the cottage with your package, sadly it will not be available for use.

We are so excited to be able to offer the Fairy Godmother's House for 2027 and beyond! It's  already proving to be an incredibly popular add on!

Recommended: When pairing 2 Fairy Godmother's House nights and 2 Enchanted Cottage nights (ideal for a Saturday wedding) these options will give you the property for the entire weekend.

This option will allow your guests to check in the day before your wedding. They'll get to rest, relax and have site access the first day. We're finding that our couples are planning to host a welcome dinner and practice a rehearsal if they'd like. Enjoy the property - the greenhouse, the Enchantry, light the fires, listen to music, have a glass of wine and enjoy extra time with your friends and family the day before. (Reminder! Only 20 non-overnight guests are permitted on property. This cannot be added to non-overnight cottage guests. 20 FGH guests total is the max! Additionally, a coordinator will not be on-site to assist.)

 Overnight guests will wake up the morning of on-site and have all day to get ready. After the wedding is over, all guests depart, however 20 guests total can stay on-site if you wish! Continue to enjoy the space until quiet hours at 11:00pm. After all non-overnight guests depart, the overnight guests stay on-site and check out the next morning at 10:00am.

We encourage carpooling! We can park up to 25 guest vehicles and have separate parking for cottage guests and vendors. Vendors may use the driveway by the fence to unload and park. Carpooling/shuttle service or Uber/Lyft is required if you are expecting more vehicles than that. We've had full 50 guest count + all the vendors and parking has never been an issue!
