What Your Wedding Experience Includes
Spend more of the day with your people, with practical support already part of your wedding plans:
- Venue and event-day coordination: Our team helps coordinate your estate arrangements and event timeline, with rehearsal guidance and ceremony direction when your celebration includes a ceremony. This is venue coordination rather than full-service wedding planning; you and your chosen vendors arrange and deliver the outside services you book. Your proposal confirms our team’s responsibilities.
- Setup and breakdown: Venue turnover, décor placement, and post-event breakdown, with the estate team supporting your guests throughout the celebration.
- Tables and seating: Tables and seating for both your ceremony and reception, plus table linens and faux floral arrangements.
- Dining essentials: Plates, napkins, cups, and utensils. Charger plates are an optional upgrade.
- Getting-ready rooms: The Magnolia Suite for hair, makeup, and dressing, and The Vineyard Lodge for the wedding party to gather, get ready, and relax. Both are included at no additional charge with wedding and micro-wedding packages.
Getting-ready access, vendor setup, and departure times are arranged in your wedding timeline. Getting-ready use does not include an overnight reservation. Rooms for overnight stays are booked separately, subject to availability.
