We’ve all seen those “all-inclusive wedding packages” that promise to handle everything… until you realize they don’t. Suddenly you’re paying extra for vendors you assumed were included, and it feels less like “all-inclusive” and more like a game of nickel and dime. (If you saw our recent reel on instagram, you know exactly the vibe! 😉)
At 7F Lodge, we believe couples deserve transparency. That’s why we break down exactly what’s included, what’s customizable, and what can be added on. No hidden costs, no surprises — just clarity from the very beginning.

The Truth About “All-Inclusive” Packages
Many venues advertise themselves as all-inclusive but leave out key details until after you’ve booked. That’s when you realize:
- The photographer isn’t included.
- The DJ is an extra charge.
- The cake or catering has a cap you didn’t expect.
- Upgrades to get what you really want end up doubling the price.
This is where couples often feel trapped — you’ve already booked, and now you’re stuck with an endless list of unexpected add-ons. That’s not the experience we want for you.
What’s Always Included at 7F Lodge
When you book our all inclusive package, here’s what you can count on being part of your package:
- Venue access to our beautiful chapel and reception spaces.
- Catering and cake (with customization through our trusted partners).
- Beverage Bars (whether it’s alcohol or non-alcoholic)
- Tables, chairs, and rentals — the basics you shouldn’t have to worry about.
- Setup and tear down of tables, chairs, linens and trash
- “Something Borrowed” Decorations ($$$$”s of dollars worth of FREE decor!)
- Onsite Lodging (checkout the cabins here!)
- Planning support so you’re never navigating wedding stress alone.
These essentials are already baked into your package — no hidden line items or surprise fees.

What’s Customizable (and Why We Like It That Way)
Some vendors are deeply personal. You may already have your dream photographer, or a family member who is an ordained officiant. We’ll never lock you into a vendor list for the people who should matter most on your wedding day. Instead, we give you freedom of choice for:
- Photographers
- DJs
- Videographers
- Hair & Makeup Artists
- Officiants
- Florists
This way, you get to choose the people who will capture, celebrate, and officiate your love story.

Optional Add-On Packages
For couples who prefer a stress-free, streamlined experience, at 7F Lodge we also offer add-on packages with trusted partners. These can include:
- Photography
- DJ + Music
- Videography
- Photo Booths
- Officiants and more…
You can pick and choose what you’d like us to coordinate so you can focus on the fun of being engaged instead of juggling vendor contracts. If booking a vendor through us we take care of the deposits for you and even house all of your contracts and invoices within your online portal for easy access at anytime!
Why Transparency Matters
The bottom line? No surprises. At 7F Lodge, we provide a detailed, interactive quote so you can see the full breakdown and total cost before you ever book. That means you can:
- Understand exactly what’s included.
- Add on only what you need.
- Stay in control of your budget.
Your wedding should feel joyful, not stressful. And choosing the right venue is the first step in making sure of that.
