The Luxury of Not Lifting a Finger: Why an All-Inclusive Wedding Venue Is the Smartest Choice a Texas Bride Can Make

Oct 5
5 min read

Planning a wedding usually means booking a venue, then a caterer, then a bartender, a florist, a photographer, a DJ, a cake baker, a rental company, a coordinator and a cleanup crew. That adds up to a dozen contracts, a dozen deposits and a dozen people to manage on the most important day of your life.

There's a better way to do it. At The Abbott House, an 1895 Victorian estate in Seguin, Texas, our Dream Wedding package brings every one of those pieces together under one roof, with one team and one plan. Here's why more Texas couples are choosing an all-inclusive wedding venue, and what "all-inclusive" really means here.

What Is an All-Inclusive Wedding Venue?

An all-inclusive wedding venue provides the location and the core wedding services, like food, drinks, decor, florals, photography, coordination, setup and cleanup, in a single package. You don't have to hire and coordinate separate vendors. Instead you work with one team that already knows the property, the timeline and each other.

Some venues call themselves all-inclusive but only bundle tables, chairs and a bartender. The Abbott House Dream Wedding goes much further, as you'll see below.

What's Included in The Abbott House Dream Wedding Package

The Dream Wedding is our most complete, fully all-inclusive package. It includes:

  • 12-hour venue rental of our historic Victorian mansion, garden courtyard and banquet hall

  • Onsite, full-service plated catering: a three-course dinner served on real porcelain plates with crystal goblets, with a custom printed dinner menu

  • Full open bar from ceremony to send-off, including signature cocktails and a champagne toast

  • Bridal Suite and Groom's Lounge for getting ready and photos

  • Overnight stay for up to 9 guests in the house

  • Elegant fresh florals

  • Professional wedding photography

  • Day-of coordination from our expert wedding coordinators

  • Full luxury ceremony and reception decor, which we provide, set up and take down

  • Tables, chairs, and complete ceremony and reception setup

  • Venue cleanup, so you and your family can enjoy the night instead of stacking chairs

  • DJ and emcee services

  • Two-tier wedding cake

  • Officiant services

  • Rehearsal dinner venue and bridal or engagement shoot venue

  • One specialty service of your choice: videography, hair and makeup, live entertainment, a photo booth, or even a pony or llama

The Dream Wedding is $22,000 all-inclusive for 100 guests, with additional guests at $99 per person.

On your wedding day, you don't have to lift a finger. We handle the setup, the service and the cleanup, so your only job is to be present.

The Luxurious Convenience of Going All-Inclusive

1. One team, one plan, one point of contact

When your caterer, bartenders, coordinator and decor team all work for the same venue, nobody has to "figure out" the kitchen, the load-in door or the timeline on the day. Our team has done this in this house many times before.

2. A true fine-dining experience

Many venues serve on disposable or rented plastic dinnerware. At The Abbott House, guests are served a plated, three-course dinner on real porcelain with crystal goblets. It's the kind of detail guests notice and remember.

3. A simpler, more predictable budget

Instead of ten separate quotes that each come with their own fees, deposits and surprises, the Dream Wedding gives you one clear price that covers your food, bar, florals, photography, coordination, decor and more.

4. Less stress for you and your family

Nobody in your family has to spend the morning hanging decor or the night cleaning up. Our team sets up before you arrive and cleans up after send-off.

5. Your wedding party stays with you

With overnight stay for up to 9 guests, your closest people can get ready together in the morning, celebrate all night, and wake up in a Victorian mansion the next day.
