Wedding Receptions
Planning a wedding? You've come to the right place. Hueston Woods offers a unique setting for such special occasions and our staff is experienced and available to assist you with planning an extraordinary day.
Over the years Hueston Woods has become a popular location for wedding receptions. The following information is essential to planning a wedding reception with us.
Banquet Rooms
Our resort offers two ballrooms that are appropriate for wedding receptions. The Teepee Ballroom will accommodate a maximum of 200 guests with a rental fee of $1000.00. The Fireside Room will accommodate a maximum of 100 guests with a rental fee of $500.00.
Cake Arrangements
Arrange for your own wedding cake through any licensed baker of your choice. Please provide us with your baker's name, phone number, time and date of delivery. It will be your responsibility to collect and return all plastics and fountain accompanying your cake. Your cake will be displayed on a round or square table and will be skirted in white linen. A $50.00 minimum cake-cutting fee is applicable.
Decorations
Our tables are decorated with white linen napkins and table covers. You may provide your own candles and use our holders or you may purchase our 15" ivory tapers at the cost of 75¢ each. Silver candelabras are available and we can also provide you with bud vases at no additional cost. Hurricane globes are available for a $2.50 per globe rental fee. A decorating fee is charged if we arrange and place your cut flowers and candles. Fresh cut flowers and centerpieces should be delivered to our Sales Office by noon on your wedding day for evening receptions. If you are planning to have available rice, birdseed or confetti for your guests to throw, we ask that you please wait until you are outside the building before it is thrown. A $50 clean-up fee will be charged if it is thrown indoors.
Meal Arrangements
A catered meal is required in order to reserve one of our ballrooms. The type of meal selected should be based on the time of the wedding. We can offer an elegant hors d'oeuvre assortment, hot buffet, or a formal sit-down meal. A service charge of 19% plus state sales tax will be added to your food cost. All food and beverage consumed in our banquet rooms must be purchased through our Sales and Catering Office. View our catering menus.
