Mobile golf simulator setup at an outdoor wedding reception with guests on the party deck
Wedding Buyer's Guide

How much doesa golf simulator wedding cost?

Mobile golf simulator rentals for weddings run roughly $350–$5,000 — about $15–$25 per guest depending on hours and guest count. That puts a Dryvebox booking in the same range as a photo booth or DJ, and well under per-head catering. Here's the full cost breakdown for receptions, rehearsal dinners, and bachelor/bachelorette parties.

The wedding price tiers

What you actually get at each wedding budget.

Mobile golf simulator vendors fall into one of three buckets when you're planning a wedding. The price gap isn't really about hours — it's about what shows up at your venue, how it photographs, and whether your guests come back for a second swing.

How to choose your setup

Entry

Budget inflatable

Reasonable for a backyard rehearsal dinner or low-key after-party. Not the right fit for a reception you've spent months planning — the tent doesn't photograph well and there's usually no staff.

Standard

Mid-tier pop-up

Works for small-venue receptions where the operator can run things solo and you have an indoor space. Limited branding, limited capacity, but a real step up from inflatable rentals.

Premium

Dryvebox

Built for receptions, rehearsal dinners, and bachelor/bachelorette parties where the experience has to land. Tour-grade tech, premium OEM clubs, trained hosts, and the only patented climate-controlled mobile golf trailer — venues book this when the photos and guest experience matter.

What shows up to your wedding

Every booking includes $147,000+ of equipment.

When you book Dryvebox for a wedding, this is what arrives. None of it is rented separately, upcharged, or BYO — it's all bundled into one quote, every time.

  • Tour-grade launch monitor

    TrackMan or Foresight — the same launch monitors used on the PGA TOUR. Sub-millimeter ball and club tracking.

    $20,000+retail value
  • Premium OEM clubs

    Recent-model-year Callaway, TaylorMade, and Srixon sets for right- and left-handed players. Aunts, uncles, kids — every guest gets a real club.

    $7,000+retail value
  • Trained on-site host

    A wedding-experienced host who runs games, coaches first-timers, and manages the rotation so you and the wedding party can enjoy the day.

    Included
  • Insurance + COI

    $5M umbrella policy. Named-additional-insured certificate of insurance for venues that require one — usually within one business day.

    Included
  • Software + course library

    400+ real courses — Pebble Beach, St Andrews, Augusta-style targets — plus closest-to-the-pin, longest drive, and bridal-party tournament modes.

    Included

Equipment values reflect the build cost of a Dryvebox trailer plus retail pricing for current launch monitors and OEM clubs. Software, staffing, and insurance are included in every booking at no additional charge.

What drives wedding cost

Three things change your final wedding quote.

Most other factors — equipment, staff, insurance, clubs — are fixed at the Dryvebox tier. These are the dials that move your final number up or down.

Hours on-site

Most receptions book 3–4 hours of active play; rehearsal dinners and after-parties typically book 2 hours. Bachelor and bachelorette parties often go 4–6 hours. Hourly rates start at $350/hr with a 2-hour minimum.

Guest count

We handle up to ~30 guests per hour per unit on open rotation. A 100-guest reception works perfectly with one Dryvebox over 3–4 hours; 200+ guests we'll usually quote two units running side-by-side to keep the line moving.

Indoor vs outdoor & venue

Outdoor wedding with a driveway, lot, or lawn? The mobile trailer fits in 15' × 40' × 13'. Indoor venue or rooftop where a trailer can't go? The indoor pop-up bay sets up in under 90 minutes in a 13' × 15' × 10' clearance. Both options ship with the same tour-grade tech.
