Weddings in Monterey Consulting Services
Sometimes, our company isn't available to assist couples because we are either booked or weddings may require services that we do not provide. With 12 years of local experience with weddings and 27 years of hospitality experience working with local vendors in Monterey County, we can still provide assistance with your ideal wedding.
With our Weddings in Monterey Consulting Package:
• Location. First and foremost, where can/should you host your wedding ceremony? If outdoors, what places match up to what you are looking for and at what cost. What type of permits are required? We are not researching availability but providing, based on your answers to our questionnaire, the best places to further research.
• Assistance with finding your vendor team. Recommendations for Hair and Makeup, Videographer, Officiant, Photographer, Transportation/Limo, DJ (for your reception), bakery (for wedding cake), caterer (if you rent a private venue for your reception), and musician (if you prefer a live performance during the ceremony).
• Assistance with finding where to have your rehearsal dinner. Whether you decide to have a run-through of your ceremony the day before or not, since your bridal party and immediate family may arrive the day before the wedding, often times you will get together for dinner the night before.
• Assistance with guests activities. Are you having a destination wedding? Are people going to be in town for 2 - 3 times and looking for something to do? We can help put together a list of fun activities.
• Assistance with finding a nice place to hold your reception. If you are having an outdoor wedding, unless you want an outdoor reception, you will need to find somewhere that meets all of your needs for your wedding reception.
• Assistance with hotels. There are over 160 hotels, motels, inns and B&B's on the Monterey Peninsula and finding the right place for your wedding night as well as a place to stay for your guests, that is convenient, is quite important.
So, how can Weddings in Monterey help you?
• Vendors. Tell us what services that you need and fill out our questionnaire so that we can learn more about what you are looking for from a service professional. We will reach out to our preferred vendors (all with excellent reputations), find out if they are available, and if so, email you over their information (more about their services and fees). (BB Price based on how many they select -- for each vendor, a $50 charge)
• Rehearsal Dinner. It's the celebration before the celebration! On our questionnaire, you can let us know everything about the type of restaurant for which you are looking. We check availability and then send you all of their information including if they have private rooms, pricing and more. ($100 charge)
• Reception Venue. When the ceremony is over, people will be hungry and ready to visit with you and everyone that gathered for the ceremonies. There are many different places from which to choose -- restaurants, hotels, banquet halls, historical sites and more. Based on your answers, we will do all of the legwork and come back with at least two great options. ($150 charge)
• Hotels. Are you looking for the perfect place to stay for your wedding night? Do you want to set up rooms for your guests to stay (either a block of rooms or just a special rate)? Do you need help just deciding on a bunch of hotels you found on sites like booking.com or hotels.com. We can help you make a smart choice! (We book under our IATAN for group blocks and individuals with a small research fee $50)
You can book just one or all of these planning modules and let us assist you with having a wedding that is as stress-free as possible.
- BB - Each module need to create a questionnaire that can be filled in online (how to do that) and a fee for them separately and then all 4 together that is worthwhile. Are we booking the vendor for them or just checking availability and sending it (yes). I can set up pages with online surveys that can be filled in and emailed to me.
