Secure Your Key Event Professionals As Soon As Possible
Fall is a popular time for vineyards so make sure to book your venue early. This means other vendors like Caterers and Photographers will be booking fast too- so secure your key event professionals as soon as possible.
“ Take advantage of the beauty around you,” says Mahan.“ The pantone season colors work seamlessly with the greens and golden tones of the vineyards, tie all this together while keeping it unique to you.”
Include a Signature Cocktail
Signature cocktails are a popular way of personalizing your wedding. Keep in mind that due to licensing, a lot of wineries do not allow hard liquor, only beer and wine. Make sure to speak to your venue to find out their policies to see what is allowed.
“ If a signature cocktail is something you have your heart set on, and hard liquor is not an option, make a sangria. There are so many amazing recipes out there and you can really customize a beautiful drink without the need for hard liquor,” says Mahan.
Try Farm to Fork
Another great way to offer your guests a unique experience is to incorporate a“ Farm to Fork” experience. Many caterers use all local produce and meats, offer a seasonal locally sourced menu, and provide different stations for guests to visit with a wine paring incorporated. This makes for not only an eye catching display but also is interactive for your guests, and will leave them talking about their experience at your wedding for years to come.
