WHAT DOES THE VENUE COORDINATOR DO ON THE WEDDING DAY?

Day of Venue Coordinator:

You will have an expert Venue Coordinator with you from the time you arrive until you are seated for dinner. The coordinator will run your rehearsal, line everyone up for the ceremony, coordinate with vendors as they arrive at the venue, assist with set up of event decor, move your gifts into a secure closet and manage time throughout the day so the event runs smoothly and according to plan. 

Event Attendants: 

The Event Attendants will be at the venue from the time you arrive to the time you depart. They will keep the venue tidy as you and your guests enjoy the different spaces and will guide the guest flow from space to space.

CAN I BRING OUTSIDE FOOD INTO THE VENUE WHILE GETTING READY?

All food & beverage throughout your event must be provided by D’Amico Hospitality. We are pleased to provide refreshments for you!

WHAT IS THE ESSENTIALS PACKAGE?

This “One and Done” Essentials Package is your one-stop planning experience with all aspects of your wedding covered under one simple price. The luxury of selecting a package of this nature is that all of your venue costs, full reception decor, a venue coordinator, security staff, your vendors such as photography, DJ and floral, and even a full menu with professional catering service expenses are secured at the time you select your date! 

CAN WE ADD OR SUBTRACT GUESTS?

Your Essentials Package is set for 100 guests in the beginning of your planning experience. Of course, as you are building a guest list, these numbers will fluctuate based on attendance, so we offer an add or subtract rate that is broken down as follows: 

Add guests for $90/person or remove guests for $80/person

*50 guest count minimum / please consult maximum with your venue representative based on capacity

IS THE ESSENTIALS PACKAGE CUSTOMIZABLE?

Part of the luxury you receive with the Essentials Package is the stress-free experience of not making 100 decisions, and hiring 20 different vendors! That being said, you will make selections on overall decor options, your floral selections, and any of our vendor and catering related “Upgrades”. 

IS A TASTING INCLUDED?

No, a tasting is not included in the Essentials Package. This is by design as the simplicity of this package is exactly what enables us to honor such an out-of-this-world price.  If a tasting is a “must have” for you, our a la carte options may be a better fit. While our a la carte options come at a higher price point, you will have more flexibility/choice. 

WHAT DOES THE FLORAL CREDIT OF $1,500 INCLUDE?

You will receive a $1,500 floral credit (not including applicable taxes and service fees) that you may spend however you might like. Ideas of where our couples choose to allocate this credit might be for all personal flowers and bouquets for the wedding party , or perhaps guest table greenery and arrangements , or decorating the arch we provide at the altar within your package. When planning, if you wish to exceed the $1,500 floral credit, our team will absolutely work with you on expanding your floral needs!

WHO IS THE INCLUDED PHOTOGRAPHER?

Within your photography package, you will receive 7 hours of coverage, a 2nd shooter, with all rights to the photos within your gallery! See samples of our Bellagala photography team where you will be assigned a professional, experienced photographer.

WHAT DOES THE DJ SERVICE INCLUDE?

Your DJ will be assigned within our Award Winning Bellagala team list of DJ’s! They will have knowledge of your venue spaces and provide full ceremony coverage, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing into the evening. 

WHAT IS LEFT TO PLAN?

The Essentials Package was created by our team of experienced, former wedding planners so that there is not a lengthy list of “What is Left to Plan” items! A few things to consider when planning after securing your Essentials Package date might be customizing your package with our optional upgrades!
