A wedding under fifty-five guests gets its own room, its own price, and a team built around that size.

Saxon Manor answers this directly: intimacy is its own venue, not a smaller slice of a bigger one. The BoHo room holds up to fifty-five guests, and the all-inclusive package for it runs $9,500 to $12,500. That’s a separate structure from the Barn and the Garden Room, which are each built for groups up to one hundred fifty guests at $15,000 to $21,000. If your guest list is under fifty-five, you are not renting a room designed for a much larger crowd and hoping it feels cozy — you’re booking a space designed around that size from the start. The difference matters, because a half-empty room built for one hundred fifty guests looks and feels like exactly that, no matter how the chairs get arranged around the edges.

An intimate wedding at Saxon Manor means guests are close enough to hear the vows without a microphone, close enough that the reception feels like a dinner party rather than a hall rental. The BoHo space is scaled so fifty-five people fill it the way one hundred fifty fill the Barn — comfortably, not sparsely. You aren’t paying to heat, cool, or decorate square footage you’ll never use, and you won’t be staring across empty tables during toasts. For couples who want everyone within one conversation’s earshot, or who are combining two smaller families instead of two large ones, that sizing is the actual point of choosing a small-capacity room instead of asking a big one to behave like something it isn’t.

The price you’re quoted is the wedding you get, and that holds true at every guest count. The BoHo package is all-inclusive at $9,500 to $12,500, which means the ceremony, reception, design and coordination, in-house chefs, bar and event staff, photographer, DJ, tiered cake with tasting, and officiant are already built into that number — see what’s included for the full list. A fifty-five-guest wedding doesn’t get a stripped-down version of the package; it gets the same components as the larger rooms, sized to a smaller headcount and a smaller bar tab. Nothing about a smaller wedding here means fewer services. It means fewer chairs and less that goes unused.

Couples who land on BoHo tend to have a specific reason for it: an elopement that grew to include immediate family, a second wedding where a large production feels wrong, a vow renewal, or a guest list that tops out at close friends and relatives with no obligation invites padding the count. None of that means smaller ambition — the room still gets a real bar, dinner from in-house chefs, and a dance floor. It means the day is built around fifty-five people instead of stretched to fill one hundred fifty seats. If your list genuinely lands under that number, BoHo is worth touring before you default to a bigger room out of habit or pressure from family opinions.

Small weddings often come with small traveling parties, which makes a multi-day gathering easier to justify than it would be for a crowd of one hundred fifty. Saxon Manor offers a BoHo rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, or post-wedding brunch as an add-on for $2,000 to $3,000, which keeps everyone on the same property for more than the ceremony and reception alone. For a fifty-five-guest wedding, this tends to matter more than it would for a larger one, since a small guest list is more likely to be a tight circle who traveled specifically to be there and are looking for a reason to spend a second day together before or after the main event.

The Bridal Suites have three rooms for getting ready, which is generous space for a wedding party that is, by definition, smaller than what the larger rooms host. Instead of one room shared between wedding party, family, and vendors, a small bridal party can spread out — hair and makeup in one room, family photos staged in another, a quiet space to actually sit down before the ceremony in a third. That kind of breathing room is easy to overlook when comparing venues on price alone, but it changes what the morning of the wedding actually feels like, especially for a small group that will be in each other’s space for most of the weekend anyway.

Florals for a fifty-five-guest wedding don’t mean fifty-five guests’ worth of arrangements scaled down from a formula built for one hundred fifty. Saxon Manor’s in-house florist, Enchanted Design & Floral, is an on-site sister company rather than an outside subcontractor working from a separate catalog, so a small wedding gets the same design process as a large one, just applied to fewer tables and a tighter footprint. That matters more at BoHo’s scale, where every arrangement is visible and there’s no large room to absorb a mismatched detail. Coordination between florist and event coordinator happens under one roof, not across three vendor contracts that all have to agree on a single look.

Brooksville sits about forty-five minutes from Tampa and about ninety minutes from Orlando, which matters for a guest list built around people flying or driving in rather than a mostly local crowd. A small wedding often has a higher share of out-of-town guests relative to its size, since the list is trimmed down to the people who were always going to make the trip regardless of distance. Saxon Manor is family owned and does weddings as its only business, worth knowing if you’re choosing a venue for a smaller, more personal event and want a team that isn’t juggling corporate bookings around your date. The venue is currently booking 2027 and 2028.

• Confirm your real guest count.

  Before you tour, write down the list you’ll actually invite, not the list you might invite if the room were bigger. Fifty-five is the ceiling for BoHo, and a list that’s genuinely forty-five to fifty-five is a different planning conversation than one that’s twenty-five with room to grow. If you’re firmly under thirty, BoHo still works, but you’ll want to talk through room layout with the coordinator so the space reads as full and intentional rather than sparse — the same problem a larger room runs into at its own scale.

• Tour BoHo directly, not the larger rooms scaled down in your head.

  Numbers on a page don’t tell you how a room feels with your specific group standing in it. Touring BoHo itself, rather than imagining the Barn or Garden Room at a smaller headcount, shows you exactly where fifty-five chairs sit, where the bar and dance floor land, and whether ceremony and reception read as one continuous room or two distinct spaces. Bring the number you settled on in step one and ask the coordinator to walk it through at that exact count, not a rounded-up estimate.

• Decide if a rehearsal dinner, shower, or brunch belongs on-site.

  If family or the wedding party are traveling in from Tampa, Orlando, or farther, decide early whether an on-site rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, or brunch makes sense at $2,000 to $3,000. Keeping it on the same property means no separate venue search, no second set of vendors to coordinate, and one team handling both events on a single shared timeline. For a smaller guest list, this is often the difference between a wedding day and an entire weekend the group actually remembers together.

• Book while 2027 and 2028 dates are still open.

  Saxon Manor is currently booking 2027 and 2028. Once you know your guest count and which package range fits it, get the date on the calendar — small weddings still compete for the same Saturdays as larger ones, and a room built for fifty-five doesn’t come with a longer runway to decide. Call 813-909-3414 or reach out through the site directly to check what’s open for the date you have in mind, and confirm it before you commit to anything else.
