I just had my wedding here on 10/19. The venue is absolutely beautiful which make the perfect set up for an outdoor wedding without requiring a lot of extra rental items to create a romantic atmosphere. Prior to the wedding, I met with Lori to... discuss where the tables were to be set up and what vendors I was planning to use. Lori recommended we obtain the table linens from the caterer the day before so we could save a few hours of labor costs on caterings since the table linens have to be down prior to the flowers.
On the day of, Lori was extremely helpful. She provided us with water and kept me up to date on how all the vendors were doing with set up while I hung out in the bridal suite with the bridal party getting hair and makeup done. We had a shuttle service for guests from a hotel in Clovis and she followed up with the service to verify the buses had left and to confirm their estimated arrival time to the site. Also, the florist we used did an excellent job and her arrangements were absolutely perfect. She left extra flowers in case we needed and it turned we did to make a tossing bouquet. For some reason we could not find the original, so Lori took some of the extra flowers and some ribbon I had and made me a perfect tossing bouquet. She really made the extra effort to help us have a wonderful day.
One thing that surprised me was when she said we had to clean up at the end of the evening at our final consultation meeting; I thought that would be a lot of work. It was not, all she meant was we needed to take our gifts home, any decorations we brought such as guest book, photos, and personnel items, left over cake (which the caterer packaged to take home easily). Our vendors worked with Tuscan Gardens to pick up any of their items; such as the caterer took all the linens, plates, etc. with them at the end of the night and the florist arranged a time to come back to get her candle holders and vases. We left right at 10 when our car came to pick us up and our families were done loading and leaving the site 20 minutes later. They had no complaints. To top off the end of the night, Rolando, pack a dinner plate for two to go for my husband and me to have in case we did not get to eat during the wedding. It was a very wonderful touch at the end of the night.
