The exact cost
of any wedding at The Pinery is determined by the details.
Brides meet personally with The Pinery's coordinator,
chef, florist, photographer, and DJ. Each bride crafts her
own special wedding, making informed decisions assisted
by the professionals who will be servicing her wedding.
Because The Pinery provides most or all of the products and services
involved, there are many cost variables and final costs
of weddings vary considerably. For a preliminary quote,

Reserving your
date at The Pinery requires a deposit of $3,600. This

We accept checks

you may get from a planner or find on a wedding website.
