What's Included in Bent Oaks Manor's Elopement Package?
For some couples, the best wedding day is the one that stays focused: a small guest list, a short private window, and enough structure to make the day feel special without turning it into a full production. Bent Oaks Manor’s $300 elopement package is built around that kind of celebration.
The package is intentionally limited. It is not a smaller version of every full-wedding service. It is a weekday option for couples who want an intimate experience at the manor and a clear, manageable plan. Here is what the current package includes, how to use the two-hour window, and when a longer Micro Wedding may be the better fit.
What does Bent Oaks Manor’s elopement package include?
The elopement package is $300 and is available Monday through Thursday. The current package includes a two-hour reservation, one second-floor getting-ready room, on-site cocktail tables, 10 chairs, and a mini cake from Dessert Bar.
The package is for fewer than 10 people total. That total should include everyone attending, not just the couple. Count the couple, family members, friends, and anyone else you expect to have on site before you inquire. Confirm your final headcount with the venue rather than assuming that a vendor or other attendee does not count.
Which two-hour elopement window fits your day?
Couples can choose from three two-hour windows: 9–11 a.m., 1–3 p.m., or 5–7 p.m. The set windows help keep the experience straightforward and make it easier to plan around a small group.
Think about the rhythm you want before choosing. A morning reservation may work well if you want to keep the rest of the day open. The afternoon option gives you a middle-of-the-day celebration. The 5–7 p.m. window can create an evening feel while staying within the package’s two-hour format. The right choice depends on your guests and the kind of day you want—not on trying to fit a full wedding schedule into a short reservation.
Work backward from the ceremony and any portraits you hope to take. Decide when the couple and guests should arrive, how much time you need in the getting-ready room, and how you want to use the final part of the reservation. Build in enough breathing room to avoid using every minute for transitions.
How can you use the room, chairs, tables, and cake?
The current package includes one second-floor room for getting ready, on-site cocktail tables, 10 chairs, and a mini cake from Dessert Bar. These inclusions give a small group useful anchors for preparation, seating, conversation, and a simple dessert moment.
Because the package is designed for fewer than 10 people and a two-hour window, keep the plan intentional. Decide who needs the getting-ready room, which guests should be seated, and how you want to use the cocktail tables. Ask where the included furnishings can be placed for your date and plan. A short written timeline can help everyone know where to be without making the day feel overproduced.
The mini cake matches the scale of the gathering without requiring a large reception dessert. If you have dietary needs, flavor questions, or another dessert request, bring those questions to the venue and Dessert Bar when you inquire. The published package detail confirms the included mini cake; it does not list additional cake customizations.
The package details do not promise every element that may be part of a larger wedding. They specifically identify the second-floor getting-ready room, cocktail tables, 10 chairs, and mini cake. Confirm any additional need instead of assuming that a full-wedding feature carries over to the elopement package.
How is the elopement package different from a Micro Wedding?
The Micro Wedding package is a separate option at $2,000. It is for up to 40 guests, takes place entirely indoors, and uses a 12–10 schedule. It does not include a getting-ready room, outdoor event space, or a rehearsal. Outdoor photos are allowed, but the reservation is strictly reserved for the bottom floor indoor space.
That comparison matters because the two packages solve different planning problems. The $300 elopement is for a very small group, a two-hour weekday window, and a defined set of inclusions. The $2,000 Micro Wedding is for a larger group and a much longer indoor event day. Neither should be treated as a simple price-per-guest version of the other.
The Micro Wedding option also has separate add-ons listed in the current package information: Loft access (top floor with full kitchen, full bed and bath, dining room and large sectional TV area) beginning at 8 a.m. is available for an additional $500, and extending cleanup to 11 p.m. is available for an additional $200. Couples considering those options should confirm availability and current terms with Bent Oaks Manor.
Is the elopement package the right fit?
The elopement package is a strong starting point for couples who want a weekday celebration with fewer than 10 people, a two-hour reservation, and a short list of included practical details. It may fit if you value a clear schedule and do not need the longer timeline or guest capacity of a Micro Wedding.
It is less likely to fit if you need a larger guest list, an all-day schedule, a rehearsal, or a full getting-ready plan for a larger wedding party. Those needs call for a different conversation about the manor’s other wedding packages.
Before booking, confirm the weekday date and preferred time window. Confirm the total headcount, ask which second-floor room will be assigned, and discuss where the 10 chairs and cocktail tables can be placed. Include any questions about the mini cake. A short list keeps the inquiry focused on details that can change whether the package works for your group.
Bent Oaks Manor elopement package FAQs
Who counts toward fewer than 10 people?
Plan for the total number of people who will be on site, including the couple and guests. Confirm how any other attendee should be counted directly with Bent Oaks Manor before booking.
When is the $300 package available?
The published package is available Monday through Thursday in one of three two-hour windows: 9–11 a.m., 1–3 p.m., or 5–7 p.m. Availability for a specific date still needs to be confirmed.
What should we confirm before booking?
Confirm the date, time window, total headcount, assigned second-floor getting-ready room, furnishing placement, and any cake questions. Ask about anything else you need instead of assuming it is included.
When is a Micro Wedding a better fit?
Consider the separate Micro Wedding option if your group may reach 40 people or if you need a much longer indoor event day. Review its different inclusions, exclusions, and add-ons before comparing the two.
You can review the current package information on Bent Oaks Manor’s wedding page. When you are ready to discuss a date, use our tour and inquiry options to ask about availability and the details that matter to your group.
A $300 elopement works best when the plan is as clear as the package. Start with the headcount, select the two-hour window, and decide how you want to use the included room, chairs, cocktail tables, and mini cake. That gives you a simple framework for an intimate weekday celebration at Bent Oaks Manor.
