What’s Included
Throughout your rental, you’ll have access to our lawns with various ceremony location options; our grounds and parking lots; our Event Barn and Lodge; additional rooms for your rehearsal dinner and guest overflow; and full access to our inventory of chairs, tables, decor, & more. Plus lots of little details like managing garbage, giving cart rides to guests in need, and constantly working to make things pretty, convenient, and homey. That’s all included in the price.
Peaceful & Unhurried
Wedding rentals are for the entire weekend—so you can decorate leisurely, keep the party going, sleep in, and not worry about taking down decorations (or anything like that) at the end of the night.
Passionate Staff
We are a family-run venue. We’ve put nearly 30 years into our property and into restoring our 1920’s barns into a place of beauty and celebration. Our priority is to make you feel at home and supported.
Our Lodge
Our Lodge has 5 bedrooms—each bedroom has two beds and a full, private bathroom. We also offer RV parking.
Our Event Barn
Our Event Barn is a three-season pavilion where your reception, dinner, and dance will take place. The max seated-at-one-time capacity is 250 guests (though we’ve hosted plenty of weddings in the 300 range as well). 180-230 guests is the most comfortable guest range at Monarch Valley.
Outdoor Ceremonies
Most couples choose to have their wedding ceremony outside. We have lots of options so you can choose a location and walking path that suits you. We also have an indoor backup plan.
What’s Not Included
Monarch Valley does not provide tablecloths, food, or beverages. But we have very few restrictions so you can personalize your schedule, decor, food, and beverages to your taste.
