When reviewing wedding reception sites, it helps to come equipped with the questions you need answered before making your decision. Here is what you will need to find out from your reception site manager: Cost Involved: First and foremost—you will need to determine the cost of holding your wedding reception at the site. Sounds like a given, right? You will discover that most reception sites break down their costs differently, and what may seem to be less expensive may wind up more costly once all of the figures are totaled. Avoid confusion by requesting an itemized list of fees—or take this one with you—and tally the costs of each fee and service you will most likely use for your event. (Have an idea of your guest count beforehand—this will influence the estimated costs) Then you can compare your lists to accurately determine which site is the most cost effective for your needs. Already confused? Not to worry—we have compiled a complete list of typical cost...

One of the great pleasures of entertaining at wedding receptions is working with awesome couples…..Sofia & Ryan were just that!  They knew EXACTLY what they wanted and we knew EXACTLY how to pull it off without a hitch.  We worked with Ariel and the staff at  Brignole Vineyards plus the catering crew from the Log Cabin .  Sofia & Ryan wanted to waste no time, so right after the First Dance we kicked into high gear and packed the dance floor before dinner.  You know a FUN time was had by all!! Sofia & Ryan’s Introduction Music: Chris Brown – Forever Sofia & Ryan’s First Dance: Sleeping At Last – Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic Sofia and her Fathers Song: Merle Haggard – Thank Heaven For Little Girls Ryan and his Mothers Song: Louis Armstrong – What A Wonderful World Sofia & Ryan’s Last Dance: Chainsmokers & Coldplay – Something Just Like This Songs That Rocked The Dance ...

Lighting can create very unique and unforgettable effects. The facility that you are having your wedding is beautiful. The thing is – once it gets dark, it takes on a whole other look. It’s kind of dark and not really romantic. White holiday lights on the fake ficus trees just don’t cut it. What can you do? Candle light is great, but it only goes so far in setting the mode. Dance floor lighting is one way to bring a new feel to a facility, but if you’re not into making your wedding look like a night club, then maybe a more theatrical feel to the lighting is in order. Don’t forget to illuminate your cake or lighting behind your Sweetheart of Head Table – it’ll enhance your pictures and your photographer will capture better pictures. This is possible through the magic of LED driven lighting effects. Ask us about the many lighting possibilities.
