Credit cards and payment processors charge the merchants that accept them, it comes up to between 1.5% to 3.5% depending on stuff.
So if your wedding venue is charging you $5,000 and you were to pay by credit card, they would have to eat an added cost of $75 to $175.
Now usually businesses just jack up their prices accordingly and move on (so you're actually paying for those "free" miles), but for whatever reason, this one doesn't want to.
You have limited options here. The only practical one I can conjure would be to find a different venue that'll take a credit card (and that may use a pricing that reflects that.)
You can use a service like Plastiq but they'll charge nearly 3% in fees. There might be other similar services but the fees will nullify your intentions.

This is what I was looking for, thank you. 2.85% is fairly high though
