What advice would you give a couple who is starting the search for the perfect venue?

Accepted Answer

Define Your Vision: Start by picturing your ideal day. Guest Count Matters: Have a rough estimate of your guest list. Check What’s Included: Some venues come with tables, chairs, and linens, while others are more of a blank canvas. Consider Catering: If food is a priority, ask about their catering policies. Some venues require you to use their in-house services. Visit at the Right Time: Visit the venue at the time your wedding would take place to see the lighting, ambiance, and overall vibe. Ask About Logistics: Think about guest accessibility, parking, weather contingency plans, and how the space flows for your event.

Question 6

How do I schedule a tasting?

Accepted Answer

Scheduling a tasting with us is simple! It starts with a quick call where we’ll learn more about your wedding vision and help infuse your menu with your unique personality. During this call, we’ll also provide you with an out-the-door estimate for our services. Once you’ve selected some menu options, we’ll use those to guide your personalized tasting experience. Our tastings typically last 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on how many questions you have. When you arrive, all you need to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the "hard work" of planning your wedding while savoring the delicious dishes we’ve prepared for you.
