The Real Cost of a Wedding Venue: What’s Included (and What’s Not) at Avenue in Sarver

When you start touring venues, you’ll quickly realize that comparing wedding venue pricing isn’t always as straightforward as it seems. Many couples are surprised by how fast small fees for tables, linens, décor, and additional hours can add up. What might appear to be a "cheap" venue often ends up costing just as much—or more—than a venue that offers a comprehensive package.

At Avenue in Sarver, we believe in transparency and value. Here’s a breakdown of what’s typically included in our pricing compared to what you might find at other Western PA wedding venues.

What’s Often Not Included at Other Venues

When shopping for an affordable wedding venue in PA, be sure to ask venues for a detailed breakdown of what’s included in their rental fee. Many venues advertise low starting prices but charge extra for the essentials you’ll need to pull off your big day.

Here are common hidden costs to look out for:

✅ Day-of coordination services

✅ Tables and chairs

✅ Linens (tablecloths, napkins)

✅ Décor (centerpieces, signs, lanterns, votives, easels, etc.)

✅ Extra hours for setup and teardown

✅ Access to a bridal suite

✅ Post-event clean-up

✅ Parking

These extra costs can easily add thousands of dollars to your bottom line.
