We are NOT simply renting you a room and a garden. with the hope it all works out…. We help you plan and enjoy your beautiful day from start to finish with as little or or much participation as your prefer.
Our garden fits 150 for an outdoor wedding. Our party room seats up to 75. We provide many items others may rent for a fee: This includes our tables, chairs, linens, china, glassware, vases, candle stands, gazebo (up to 60 guest-units). We strive for cost-effective events which fulfill your dreams.
Full weekend event: $2750 plus tax for two-day weekend weddings with 5 guest rooms rented for two nights. Food and flowers additional. October weekends slightly higher. See main wedding package page for smaller weddings.
One-day events: Depends on the type event. Please read our main wedding package page to find the best type for you. LINK
Two-day weekends are best. Why? We recommend full weekend rentals because this allows enough time for full enjoyment, family time and less rushing (when Saturday check-in is 3 pm).
Please call Judy Hotchkiss, planner, for details. 423-727-0139
Friends assist in the ceremony, music, cake cutting, moving chairs and people around, making toasts and even making videos. This is where friends and relatives are perfect — helping out a bit and most certainly enjoying the day.
The “Wizard” (aka innkeeper) is behind the scenes where you will also find the florist making the bouquets, caterer prepping your appetizers and cooking off dishes for your celebration. Innkeeper Judy makes sure the inn facility, along with all items provided by vendors, is party-ready. She may also serve as the day-of wedding planner, making sure your wedding day moves at an agreeable pace, achieving a seamless and beautiful wedding day. You may also hire your own day-of wedding coordinator, allowing Judy to exclusively coordinate the facility and vendors (cater,florist, musicians, etc.).
How We Work
- Innkeeper Judy, as point person, works with brides to integrate their personal touches and schedule friend and family involvement at a reasonable level and on a timetable which insures success (and no stress) for everyone involved
- We may decline events which are not the right size (too large) for the space.
- We prefer the use of qualified professional service providers, especially for larger events.
- To maintain the quality of this facility, we do not rent “just the room” without oversight by our onsite planner.
- A full weekend inn/facility rental is generally required and included in the base fee. One-day full scale weddings are available off season (winter and early spring), Sundays and midweek. October is considered high season and is offered at a higher base fee.
- Our happy brides will tell you weddings at Prospect Hill are wonderful. We invite you to phone Judy for a discussion of your own special day.
