The facility fee, according to sources online, does not exist, but there is an onsite ceremony fee of $1,500 if you choose to have your ceremony on site along with the reception. Instead, you will be paying a minimum food and beverage fee, per person, depending on the number of guests who plan on attending your wedding. The minimum requirement for a Friday or Sunday night wedding is said to be 150 guests, whereas a Saturday night wedding is 175 guests. With all of the food and beverages supplied by the Liberty Warehouse, with the exception of some cuisines, the prices range anywhere from $180 to $250+ per person. This range, from what we researched, will include the food, liquor, valet parking and washroom attendants. According to Woman Getting Married, however, the off-peak times, January, February, and March, can be as little as $165 to $200+ per person and the venue, during this time, is said to be much more flexible with the guest minimum count.
One reviewer on the official venue’s Yelp page said she was quoted $250 a guest after the service fee and gratuities, and this was for a Saturday wedding.
