What's Actually Included at an All-Inclusive Wedding Venue in Minnesota

"All-inclusive" is one of the most misused phrases in the wedding industry. Some venues use it to mean they have a kitchen. Others mean everything is bundled — furniture, staff, bar service, and cleanup — at one flat price.

Before you sign a contract, it's worth understanding exactly what's included at any venue you're considering. Here's a breakdown of what true all-inclusive looks like, and how The 3 Ten Event Venue in Faribault, MN structures its pricing.

What Most Venues Charge Separately

At many Minnesota wedding venues, these items are add-ons — sometimes totaling $2,000–$5,000 beyond the base rental:

Chairs and tables (often $8–$15 per chair)
Linens and napkins
Event staff and cleanup crew
Bartender fees
Getting-ready room access
Security deposits (separate from your event deposit)
Ceremony setup fee
Liability insurance rider

What's Included at The 3 Ten — Every Single Event

At The 3 Ten Event Venue in Faribault, every rental includes all of the following at no extra charge:

Wood Chiavari chairs (for your full guest count)
Farm and harvest tables
Whiskey barrel pub tables
Getting-ready suites (available all day)
8 full hours of event time
Customizable LED downlighting
A bartender for your event
Full setup and teardown
Cleaning
Liability insurance
Outdoor furniture and patio access
Marquee sign with your name
Flat screen TVs
ADA accessibility and elevator
Unlimited communication with our team

That's 15 line items most venues charge separately — all bundled into a base rental starting at $3,295.

The Open Vendor Advantage

Unlike venues with in-house catering requirements, The 3 Ten has a fully open vendor policy. You can hire any licensed caterer you choose. This gives you the freedom to work with a caterer who matches your cuisine style, dietary needs, and budget — rather than being locked into one kitchen.

There is a modest outside catering surcharge of $500 if you bring your own caterer — but in nearly every case, couples find this far more affordable than venues that require expensive in-house catering packages.

What's Not Included (And What It Costs)

We believe in transparency. Here are the optional add-ons at The 3 Ten and their prices:

Day-of Coordination: $250–$650
Décor Closet Access: $600 (backdrops, centerpieces, draping, more)
Ceremony Add-On: $1,000
Getting Ready Packages: $68–$84/person
Rehearsal Dinner in Rooftop Loft (Thursday): $500
Bar upgrades: Beer/Wine → Standard → Premium (priced by package)

The 72-Hour Booking Incentive

If you book within 72 hours of your tour, The 3 Ten includes a complimentary champagne pour for 30 guests — a $200 value. It's our way of rewarding couples who are ready to move forward.
