The wedding industry is often cloaked in charm, elegance, and tradition — but behind the scenes, many venues operate more like finely tuned money machines than places of celebration. Brides are lured in with picturesque settings and “affordable” base rates, only to be hit with hidden fees, strict vendor requirements, and time limits that strip the joy right out of the planning process. It’s not uncommon to see couples nickel-and-dimed for basic necessities like chairs, table linens, or even the privilege of using their own caterer.
At Scarborough House Resort, we believe in pulling back the curtain and exposing these outdated and exploitative practices. Our mission is to give couples the freedom to plan their wedding their way, without the pressure of limited timelines, upcharges, or forced vendor lists. That’s why we charge a flat fee of $9,500 for a full weekend wedding experience — including accommodations for 26 guests, access to a beautiful estate, a near-commercial-grade kitchen, and spaces designed for real connection, from firepits to a pool.
Weddings are not one-size-fits-all, and your venue shouldn’t force you into a box. We want couples to feel empowered, not controlled — to spend real time with loved ones and bring their vision to life without compromise. It’s time to rethink the way weddings are done and offer a better, more honest path forward. Scarborough House isn’t just a venue — it’s a weekend-long experience where your love, your values, and your people take center stage.
Say Goodbye to Cookie-Cutter Weddings and Hello to Real Freedom
What sets Scarborough House apart is the rare combination of flexibility, beauty, and value. Unlike venues that limit your time to a few rushed hours, we give you the entire weekend to breathe, celebrate, and connect. From Friday afternoon to Sunday morning, the estate is yours—no back-to-back weddings, no corporate schedules. With space for 26 guests to stay on-site, your closest friends and family can share the full experience with you, from late-night conversations by the firepit to morning coffee on the front porch.
Our goal is to make you feel at home, not on a stopwatch. With our flat $9,500 rate, you get access to the full property—including the pool, firepits, nearly commercial kitchen, and both indoor and outdoor spaces—without surprise charges. Want to bring your own food truck? Do it. Prefer a DJ who’s your cousin? Fine by us. Scarborough House Resort is a place where creativity is welcomed, not restricted. We don’t just rent you a space—we give you freedom, time, and unforgettable memories.
