How do we secure our wedding date?
In order to secure your wedding date your wedding contract must be signed and returned within three days of receiving
it. The first payment of 30% of the contracted total is due with the return of the signed contract and necessary to hold
the event as definite. This payment and all received payments are non-refundable. Wedding dates will have assigned
total minimums that must be met in order to secure an event date. These total minimums will vary and will include the
following: food, beverage, facility rental, coordination fee, 21% service charge and 8.25% sales tax.
What is included in the service charge?
The 21% service charge covers all service and labor supporting your wedding such as the set-up and clean-up, wait
staff, food preparation, dishwashing, linen services, etc. This way you will never see a set-up or clean-up fee, bartender
fee, wine-corking fee, cake-cutting fee, etc. Gratuity is not part of the 21% service charge, as it is optional.
Do you require that we use Vintage Villas’ catering and alcohol services?
Yes, we do require that you use both our catering and alcohol services. We are pleased to offer our weddings exclusive
in-house catering. Additionally, Vintage Villas has its liquor license, prohibiting any outside alcohol to be brought in.
We offer a wide selection of alcohol and have the ability to customize packages. Menu and beverage selections must be
made at least 30 days prior to the event date.
Can we add additional time to our facility rental time block?
Absolutely! If it does not interfere with an event taking place before or after your wedding, you’re allowed to extend
your time. Additional facility rental hours may be purchased in advance for $500.00 per hour, based upon availability
only. Additional set-up hours may be purchased in advance for $100.00 per hour, based upon availability only.
Does Vintage Villas offer event coordination services?
Yes! We are pleased to offer Day-of Venue Coordination services. The coordinator service is $475, plus service charge.
This service will be waived if the client hires a professional wedding planner.
Can we rehearse on-site at Vintage Villas and when?
Ceremony rehearsals may be scheduled Sunday through Friday prior to 6pm for a one hour duration. Location and
times are subject to space and availability. This one hour rehearsal is included in the facility rental.
What are the rules regarding decorations?
You can bring in your own décor, but it can only be installed in a way that will not damage our facility – no staples,
tacks, tape, glue guns or nails can be used. Red rose petals are prohibited, due to stains left behind. Fake rose petals are
prohibited due to littering.
What are we responsible for regarding clean-up at the end of our event?
Vintage Villas will perform all clean-up of facility, but the client is responsible for removing all personal belongings and
leaving the facility in good condition. Vintage Villas assumes no responsibility for any items brought or left by guests or
vendors.
Do you require that we use vendors from an approved list or can we bring our own?
We do not require use of particular vendors. With the exception of food and beverage, you may bring in any outside
vendors that you’d like. We do provide you with a recommended vendors list once you return your signed contract.
