Pricing Calculator

WedStay is one of the only platforms with transparent venue pricing. Most wedding venues hide their costs — we show them upfront.

The pricing calculator returns estimated totals and price ranges based on region, event size, season, and venue type.

Pricing notes

• All prices are in USD
• estimated_total is the midpoint estimate; price_range shows the realistic range
• Estimates are based on aggregate data — actual pricing varies by specific property
• The savings_vs_traditional field shows estimated savings vs. a traditional wedding venue in the same region
• Use venue detail endpoints and the inquiry endpoint for property-specific quotes

How WedStay pricing works

WedStay venues are priced per night for the entire property (full buyout). This means:

1. No per-head pricing — You rent the whole property, not individual seats
2. Multi-day stays — Most weddings are 2-3 night stays (rehearsal, wedding, brunch)
3. Transparent — The price you see is the price you pay, plus cleaning and service fees
4. Savings — Couples typically save 40-60% compared to traditional venues
