LOGISTICS EASE AND SETUP
A bride desires to get hitched on a mountain top; however, what about chairs. Pondering through all the particulars of a wedding ceremony and reception is key to a less stressful event. If you like risk then yes, go for the mountain top; and have the winds blow as they may. If you are a naturally carefree person, then this will not be a problem. If you are very detailed and a perfectionist, hold on. There are tons and tons of details involved in arranging a wedding, and you will need to encircle yourself with professionals who know what has to be done. Decide on a location with experience and staffing to take care of your needs. Remember, you want to make this a FUN day for you. Temecula Winery Weddings are a great choice for they are very different, stunning, and includes everything.
RULES, REGULATIONS, RESTRICTIONS
Ignorance is not bliss. Ask tons of questions at every location you consider. There are many restrictions that you may not know. Ask each facility to explain these for you. These usually relate to event timetables, end times, noise restrictions, legal permits, licenses, liability insurance, security, food rules, liquor licenses, use of sparklers (fire), outside vendors, smoking, etc. Each area will be unique so feel comfortable with the management you are dealing with so that there are No surprises. A Falkner Winery Wedding includes everything and you met with the owners to book.
FLEXIBILITY
This is so crucial to experiencing a positive experience at any location. When you first visit a location, listen closely to the individual you are meeting with to see if they are flexible and responsive, or if there is any give and take in the discussions. Probably this will be the manner that prevails throughout the whole event process. First impressions are normally true.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
Research as much as possible about the location, ask friends who may have had an party there, check testimonials, and any online information to find out the strategy for the location. You need to determine what level of service you want, and what that is cost is worth to you. Temecula Winery Weddings are known for the friendly personnel and customer service given to the bride.
COST/VALUE RELATIONSHIP
There is No Free Lunch. You do get what you pay for. Nevertheless, in these economic times, there are some wonderful values to be found if you know how to research and ask. Ask each facility what breaks are offered based on prime season versus off-season timing, day of the week, time of day, length of event, and the facility of the event on the location. Falkner Winery is currently extending a great value for any open 2009 dates for a Temecula Winery wedding. Also, inquire about different menu choices (one chicken entree versus 2 choices), buffet versus sit-down service, appetizers only, and the different Bar Packages-what is the best package for you so you have no unresolved questions at the end. Ask in detail what is included in the package. Better yet, inquire what is NOT INCLUDED in the package. Finally, if you are a self-reliant bride, a close in booking will bring forth great financial benefit. Dates that are not booked within a few months of the wedding are wonderful values. Just be sure you are working with a facility with a solid reputation, a preferred vendor list, and professional experienced personnel.
