• That is a great question! In general, we believe the average budget of a couple getting married at The Cowan is between $19,000-$25,000 for all wedding expenses (venue, fodd, dress, DJ, Photographer, etc.).

• You can pay via credit card, however, there is a 4% processing fee for all credit card payments.
