Weddings Over 50 Guests
Our $5,000 Wedding Weekend Package is designed for weddings of up to 50 guests using our standard 30' × 40' reception tent.
Depending on your desired floor plan and reception style, the standard tent may be able to accommodate slightly more than 50 guests if a dance floor is not needed. However, larger guest counts may require additional or larger tents, tables, chairs, restroom accommodations, and other rental equipment.
For weddings with more than 50 guests, please contact us for a custom quote based on your guest count, layout, and current rental-market pricing.
HollyDay Farms can accommodate weddings of up to approximately 100 guests. As a general planning estimate, a fully equipped Wedding Weekend Package for approximately 100 guests may cost up to $10,000, depending on current tent and rental costs and the specific needs of your event.
We are happy to customize a package that fits your wedding rather than requiring you to pay for rentals or services you do not need.

This includes wedding setup, placement of personal décor, vendor management, ceremony and reception coordination, timeline management, troubleshooting, guest and vendor guidance, breakdown, cleanup, and organization of your belongings at the end of the evening.
Our goal is for you to arrive knowing that the work has already been done.
You get ready, marry the person you love, celebrate with your family and friends, and enjoy the experience while we manage everything happening behind the scenes.
Investment
Full-Service Wedding Planning & Design is 20% of the total wedding budget, with a minimum planning fee of $4,000.
Vendor fees, rentals, décor purchases, catering, entertainment, photography, florals, and other wedding expenses are separate and are paid from the couple’s wedding budget.
This service is ideal for couples who want professional guidance from the beginning and would rather spend their engagement enjoying the experience than managing dozens of vendors, contracts, rentals, schedules, and wedding-day details.
Bring us the vision. We’ll help bring the entire wedding to life.
Wedding Officiant Services
Your wedding ceremony should feel like the two of you—not like a generic script you could hear at anyone’s wedding.

PARTNERS FIRST Pre-Marital Counseling
Private Couples Coaching for Healthier Communication, Stronger Partnership & Relationship Clarity
You can love each other and still struggle to know how to do relationships well.
PARTNERS FIRST is a structured couples-coaching program designed to help you understand what is happening in your relationship, identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and learn practical skills for building a healthier partnership. It is a 16 week course.
This is not about keeping a relationship together at all costs.
The goal is to help you communicate more clearly, handle conflict more effectively, strengthen connection, understand each other better, and gain clarity about what your relationship needs next.
HOW IT WORKS
Initial Couples Consultation
60 minutes
We begin with both partners together to discuss what is working, where you are struggling, what you hope to change, and whether PARTNERS FIRST is the right fit for you.
This gives us a chance to meet, talk honestly about the relationship, and decide whether you would like to continue.
Relationship Map Session
120 minutes
If you continue, both partners complete the PARTNERS FIRST Relationship Map assessment.
I review your responses before our session and identify the major strengths, differences, patterns, concerns, and growth areas within your relationship.
Together, we look at areas such as communication, conflict, emotional regulation, compatibility, trust, intimacy, boundaries, values, money, shared responsibilities, closeness, independence, and future goals.
From there, we create individualized goals for your relationship.
Ongoing PARTNERS FIRST Coaching
90 minutes
The complete PARTNERS FIRST curriculum includes 16 progressive sessions covering skills such as:
-
communication and emotional regulation;
-
conflict and repair;
-
boundaries and consent;
-
expectations and compatibility;
-
trust and intimacy;
-
attachment and interdependence;
-
shared responsibility and decision-making;
-
and maintaining friendship, affection, connection, and teamwork.
Each session combines relationship education with coaching tailored to the issues showing up in your actual relationship.
The curriculum provides the structure. Your relationship becomes the case study.
NO LARGE UPFRONT COMMITMENT
You do not have to purchase the entire program in advance.
After the initial consultation, you continue one session at a time. Each upcoming session is invoiced and must be paid before the appointment.
That means you are free to continue through the entire program or stop if you reach the clarity you need, decide another type of professional support is more appropriate, or determine that continuing the relationship is no longer the right goal.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
PARTNERS FIRST may be a good fit if you:
-
keep having the same arguments;
-
struggle with communication or repair;
-
feel disconnected or resentful;
-
want better boundaries or conflict skills;
-
are navigating differences around sex, money, parenting, family, or future plans;
-
are engaged and want stronger relationship skills before marriage;
-
or simply want to build a more intentional, emotionally healthy partnership.
PARTNERS FIRST is relationship coaching and education, not psychotherapy. Relationships involving violence, coercive control, intimidation, sexual coercion, stalking, or serious safety concerns may require specialized professional support instead of ordinary couples coaching.
