Wedding locations typically feature either inclusive or à la carte packages. Understanding how each works is important in making sure your special day happens just the way you dreamed it would.
Inclusive wedding packages are frequently offered at Colorado hotel venues and at many of the best destination wedding locations. As the name of the package suggests, a lot of things are included:
- Hors d’oeuvres and entrée selections are priced per person.
- Details like the dance floor setting and centerpieces are included.
- Tables, chairs, and linens are on site.
- A venue manager is often provided to oversee arrangements.
- Set-up and tear down arrangements mean you won’t be rounding up friends and family to help you set-up the morning of your wedding.
Because so much is provided in an inclusive package, the price can seem steep at first. Your FCWA professional will help you sort through everything to determine the value – and if the venue and package will move you towards your vision.
Wedding locations that lend themselves to à la carte arrangements are well-suited to brides who are interested in back yard wedding ideas or want to marry at an unusual, sentimental venue. Some of Colorado’s best destination wedding locations feature à la carte celebrations. This type of package has its own advantages:
- Creativity is welcome and possibilities are endless.
- The space is provided for a specified length of time at a set fee.
- Set-up and teardown is up to the bride and her wedding professional to arrange.
- Food is typically catered and can reflect personal preferences.
- Decorations are uniquely individual – and friends and family can participate if they want to.
