Q: Is there an extra charge for my Rehearsal?
A: No. We usually allow about 45 minutes for Rehearsals.

Q: Who is in charge of the Rehearsal?
A: Your minister or officiant will run the Rehearsal.

Q: How do I schedule the Rehearsal?
A: After confirming a time with your officiant, call your Village Green Resort contact
to find out if your Ceremony location is available for the Rehearsal. If it’s not, we’ll schedule you in another available location at the resort.

Q: Can my florist decorate the Gazebo?
A: Yes, the Gazebo can be decorated any way you like as long as you don’t leave a permanent mark (no nails or staples, please). There are two nails at the top of the doorway to which your florist can attach a garland or swag. Your florist can deliver flowers at least one and a half hours before your ceremony, depending upon other events scheduled that day. Village Green Resort does not have space to store flowers.

Q: May I have a unity candle in the Gazebo?
A: Yes. You’ll need to use a “clicker” lighter to keep the flame from blowing out.

Q: May I use candles in the Cascadia Room?
A: Yes, as long as all flames are surrounded by glass (i.e., tall candles need a hurricane
glass, and votive candle flames need to be down in the holder). Our staff will light
three candles per table if you arrange this at least two weeks in advance.

Q: Is an outdoor sound system available for my Ceremony?
A: Although we do not have an outdoor sound system, your band or DJ can probably
provide one if ordered in advance.

Q: Can we have dancing at our Garden or Cascadia Room event?
A: Yes. You may hire a band or DJ, or provide your own CD player for dancing. Music
for dancing needs to stop half an hour before your rental time ends so the party will conclude on time.

Q: Are gift, guest book, and cake tables included?
A: Yes. We will put cloths and skirts on these tables.

Q: When should I have my baker deliver the cake?
A: One hour before the Ceremony. Village Green Resort cannot store wedding cakes.

Q: Does Village Green Resort have chair covers for the meeting rooms?
A: No. You can rent chair covers and have them delivered and installed on the day of
your event. You’ll need to set up a delivery time with your Village Green contact person.

Q: Can I borrow an easel for pictures or a master seating chart?
A: Yes, if you order it in advance from your Village Green contact person.

Q: Can I taste banquet food items in advance of my wedding?
A: Since we order banquet food only in quantity for group events, we do not conduct
banquet tastings. You can eat in our restaurant in order to sample the quality of our
food. The restaurant and banquet kitchens are run by the same management, so even
though the items and presentation differ, the quality is consistent. Our food is
excellent; we receive rave reviews on our banquet and restaurant food!

Q: What is the “minimum purchase” for food and beverage?
A: The minimum purchase is the lowest amount that you need to order as a total
of any combination of hors d’oeuvres, lunch, or dinner entrée(s), and any beverages, including alcohol, that will go on your bill. Although we always hope that a group will exceed the minimum purchase amount, we do realize that many people are on budgets; we will do everything possible to help you stay within your budget while still meeting the minimum purchase requirement for your event.

Q: Can menu items on the “Banquet Luncheon Selections” menu and the “Banquet
Dinner Selections” menu be plated?
A: Yes. Check with your contact person to see if there are any charges involved.

Q: May we choose more than one entrée for a plated meal?
A: Yes. You may choose two entrees if you will provide an entrée card for each guest to
put in front of his/her place setting so our staff will know which entrée to serve. We
can also provide a vegetarian choice and a choice for children 3 to 11 years. When
you call in your guest count, you’ll need to specify how many of each entrée you
need, so the two main choices should be on your invitations.

Q: Are children’s meals priced lower than adult meals?
A: Yes. Children’s meal prices are usually a little more than half of the adult price.

Q: Should I order hors d’oeuvres?
A: Yes. It’s a nice touch to give your guests something to nibble on while they’re
waiting for pictures to be finished.

Q: How many hors d’oeuvres should I order?
A: For a daytime event, we suggest 3 to 5 different items, with 4 to 6 pieces per person.
An evening event calls for 4 to 8 different items, with 6 to 10 pieces per person
(depending upon whether you have an average group or a lot of heavy eaters).

Q: When should my RSVPs be due?
A: At least three weeks before your wedding day, since you’ll need to call those who
do not respond in order to give your Village Green contact an accurate count 11 days in
advance (for a Saturday event).

Q: How does the bar work in the Cascadia Room?
A: If you order a full hosted bar (you pay for all cocktails, beer, wine, etc.), you’ll
need to choose one of the tiers on the Banquet Bar menu, and you’ll be charged for
each drink ordered by you and your guests. Plus any applicable tax or service charge.

If you order a full cash bar, your guests pay for all cocktails, beer, wine, etc.

If you order a full cash bar with hosted beer, wine, and sodas, your guests will pay
for all cocktails, and we will add beer, wine, and sodas (plus any applicable tax and service charge)
to your bill. The bartender will pour all hosted and cash beverages.

Q: How does the bar work in the Garden or other meeting rooms?
A: You may order either a full hosted bar (you pay for all cocktails, beer, wine, etc.) or a
hosted beverage table with beer, wine, and/or sodas. We do not set up a cash bar in the Garden or the meeting rooms. We can provide a server at the beverage table for a fee.
