Old Edwards Weddings

Old Edwards' main wedding venue is called The Farm at Old Edwards. Rehearsal dinners are rarely held there because we have sixteen other incredible event sites at our disposal. They vary greatly in their look as well as their cost, so the bride and groom can entertain at multiple celebration events and not use the same setting twice. This provides a myriad of options for luncheons, bridesmaid parties, rehearsal dinners, and other auxiliary events that are informal or formal, outdoor or indoor, and to find the right location for whatever size party and budget the bride and groom may need.

Depending on the couple’s vision, we recommend looking first for a venue with a backdrop that compliments the bride and groom's signature style. Do the bride and groom prefer a casual or formal gathering? How many people will be attending? You want guests to feel cozy, but never crowded. One of the trends we're seeing is a smaller rehearsal dinner for close family and friends. For example, if the wedding is—say—over 200 people, the rehearsal dinner is often kept at a very intimate 50 or so, and then the couple will invite the remaining guests to a welcome party held after the rehearsal dinner.

Old Edwards is typically booked 12 to 16 months in advance for Saturdays in high season, however, we have mid-week and even Friday or Sunday dates available on shorter notice at times. Regardless, we recommend that once the bride and groom book their wedding, the couple move into high gear to secure accommodations and arrange the rehearsal dinner and any other event details they may desire.

Resort van and/or Executive Coach transportation can be arranged for your guests staying at Old Edwards Inn to be transported to and from your venue. Please arrange this with your Sales Manager. Additional transportation can be arranged through our recommended vendors. Groups of 150 or more will need to arrange for additional transportation for the events at the Farm. Events at Half-Mile Farm require transportation services for all guests.

Good coordination is essential. So much so that, for larger weddings, Old Edwards requires that the bride and groom have a dedicated planner to help the orchestration go as smoothly as possible. Regardless of a wedding’s size, all particulars should be spelled out fully in the contract. Old Edwards' team knows exactly what questions to ask and works to ensure the couple and their families are comfortable with everything included in the contract. This includes the rehearsal dinner specifications. Old Edwards also has catering managers who specialize in ensuring all those details in the contract take place as expected. These team members serve as another set of eyes, helping to make sure that even the smallest details are buttoned up. However, what really sets Old Edwards Hospitality Group apart, is that we have a dedicated events team of 12 to 14 people, and our office is open 7 days a week. This ensures that the bride and groom always have someone who can respond to their needs and help them coordinate the details needed to bring their vision to life.

Old Edwards is pleased to offer group blocks for our wedding parties based on availability, guest count, and food and beverage minimums. We will hold a block of rooms for your wedding as outlined in your Group Rooms Agreement. If you wish to assign the rooms, you must pay a first-night deposit, as well as provide a rooming list upon signing the agreement for any special guests (such as family members) within the room block. Guestroom Reservation Wedding inserts are available upon request to assist you in informing your guests about the reservation process. The cut-off date for reservations is one month prior to the wedding. Any changes or additions made to the final rooming list after the cut-off date must be approved by your Sales and Catering Manager. Individual reservations will be charged for the first night's stay at the time of reservation, and cancellation penalties apply. After the cut-off date, guest rooms are available on a space-available basis and at the most current published rack rates. Contact our Reservations Specialists at 866-526-8008.
