So my & my fiance have been waiting a few years to 'do the deed' as both sides of our entire family lives across the country & we live more than 4 hours away from any large airport (we are in Eureka, CA & family is in GA & NC). I have been looking for a rustic deal-priced venue that will allow everyone to stay together on the same property- something on a river or creek for swimming, trails, and outdoorsy stuff. Basically were trying to make a weekend getaway out of it since the family will be spending their vacation savings to make the trip.
I have found a venue I really like (
the Trinity Alps Resort - basically a large group cabin campground- don't have to worry about other guests as we would have to rent it all) but I have a few questions for you ladies.
Would it be unreasonable to ask guests to pay $250 for the entire weekend (food & activities included-the resort asks for $250 per person for 2 nights all inclusive in addition to our $600 site fee) + probably around $6-700 for a flight? I ask this because there is literally nothing around the resort: no restaurants, hotels, nothing but camping. We would be providing all the meals, linens, and some special arrival gift bags, etc. maybe even transportation as the nearest airport is well over a 4 hours drive....
So is $900, give or take, a reasonable amount to ask guests to pay for the entire wedding weekend (including flights & all)??? Any input would be great- thanks!!!!
