  • Weddings

    Weller Haus Bed and Breakfast provides a beautiful, intimate setting for the most important day of your life. Our gardens and nature-covered gazebo, Carriage Haus and Great Room are all used as the backdrop in helping you create an unforgettable day. We offer facility only rentals or “packaged” weddings where all the traditional elements of your wedding are com-bined and provided for one price—-no surprises, no stress—and yet you will still have choices when it comes to your cake, flowers and food. Our top-of-the-line Dream Day Wedding pack-age for 50 guests, with everything included, starts at only $5295 for a Monday-Thursday event.

    We can offer exceptional prices because we carefully selected vendors who are small business owners without excessive overhead like many of the larger companies. We wanted family-owned businesses that are wedding professionals and clearly recognize that the couple is what is most important. And, while we do offer these packages, you can upgrade any of our stan-dard weddings at very reasonable prices. You may want to add food selections, choose flowers that may not be on the standard list or add more photography. It’s all up to you.

    Weller Haus Ministers and officiates have performed hundreds of ceremonies, both religious and non-religious. You are free to write your own vows or use traditional marriage vows. They are all available for consultation via email and phone to discuss your specific needs and will most certainly meet you in person should you choose to do so prior to your Wedding day. Their services include an arrival at least 30 minutes prior to your ceremony and departure ap-proximately 15-30 minutes after the ceremony. Should you require any type of rehearsal the day before the wedding there is an additional fee.

You will have 1.5 hours total time for the horse and carriage, including ceremony waiting time.

    Photography

    The photographer will be able to capture all moments of your Wedding and Reception as they will be available for 4 hours.
