Food and celebration go hand-in-hand. In most situations, you can’t have one without the other. From private parties to weddings and business conferences, the cuisine you serve is often considered one of the highlights of the occasion. That means you need to choose a menu that is fitting and within your budget. Club Venetian can help. Our catering service includes a list of delicious choices that your guests will enjoy.

Breakfast and Brunch Catering

Our catering services include a full range of breakfast and brunch options. Our Continental breakfast starts at a great price and includes fresh pastries, coffee, and juices. We also offer heartier morning fare like our Rise & Shine Breakfast Buffet with omelets, seasonal fruit, and hash browns.

Our Club and Deluxe Brunch menus are just as appetizing with more diversity. From parmesan crusted chicken breasts to bacon, Belgian waffles, and broccoli and cheese quiche, there are many tasty tidbits to get your guests’ day started.

Luncheon and Party Trays

If your event occurs a little later in the day, you may wish to explore our luncheon menu. You can choose from multiple entries and sides along with other options. Some also include soup and salad. Your guests can sample our fresh-made roast beef, cavatappi pasta alfredo, baked cod, cranberry glazed pork loins, and much more. There are also party trays available.

Sit-Down Dinners

Many guests love our sit-down dinners. These include an hors d’oeuvres table as well as a soup, salad, or pasta course, and plated entrees. Entrees include classics like chicken marsala, fresh Atlantic salmon, prime rib, veal spiedini, and beef filet mignon with lobster tail or chicken piccata.

The short answer is: yes, you can plan your own wedding. Many couples choose to go this route to cut costs. It’s a big undertaking, but one that can save you money. The following overview will help you prepare for planning the perfect event.

Start with the Basics

You should begin planning at least nine months out. Many couples start 16 or more months out. Begin with the basics like budgeting, building a guest list, and creating a binder or folder for all your wedding day materials.

Begin Booking & Buying

Next, you should begin booking vendors and purchasing what you need. You should hire a photographer and meet with caterers about eight months in advance. This is also the time to find a dress, reserve hotel rooms (if needed), and book entertainment.

Meet with the Officiant

Don’t forget to book and meet with your officiant. They will likely want to discuss your expectations and go over the process with you. They will also want to confirm that you have all the documents needed to get legally married. This is essential to ensure a smooth ceremony.

Plan Your Wedding with Professionals

You can plan your own wedding and still get professional assistance in the process. A venue that offers catering and other services can help you find all the things you need while remaining in control and within budget. Contact Club Venetian today to learn more about venue rentals, dinner menus, and other wedding-day essentials. We look forward to hosting your life event!

It takes skill and industry knowledge to be a good event planner. Some choose to skip the added expense and plan without a professional. If you decide to go this route, there are several things you should keep in mind to put together the perfect gathering.

Start with Your Guest List

The first thing an event planner will look at is your guest list. More specifically, they need to see how many people must be accommodated during the festivities. This will allow them to rule out some venues before they build a short list. You can do the same and save time by jumping right to venues who can handle your crowd.

Find a Location That’s Convenient

Location is essential to a good event. The venue shouldn’t be out of the way or difficult for local guests to find. If you have attendees who are traveling, make sure the event is hosted reasonably close to where they are staying to minimize additional travel needs. Club Venetian, for example, is located near several popular and highly-rated hotels.

Check Out Past Parties at the Venue

Ask the venue for examples of past events that were planned and hosted there. Look at photographs that show the celebration. You can also talk to the staff to get a feel for how they will interact with your guests. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, especially if you have any specific needs or concerns.

Find a Place that Does It All

The more your venue will do, the better. Party planners like to find places that offer additional services so that they don’t have to track down and vet third-party vendors. Club Venetian offers in-house catering and will help with party planning and more. Contact us for a visit or to learn more about our venue.

Many brides and grooms ask: “How much does a wedding cost?” That’s not an easy question to answer. The average wedding in the United States in 2017 cost $25,764. The average spending per event was between $19,323 and $32,205. However, around half of all couples spent under $15,000 for their big day celebration. So how much will your wedding cost?

Know Your Wedding Budget

It’s important to remember that each wedding is just as unique as the people who plan it. There is no financial requirement for getting married. Before you begin planning, consider your financial situation and how much you can afford to spend. Do you have enough to plan the whole thing right now while covering all expenses? Can you wait longer and save up the amount needed to pay for everything you want?

Your budget will help you determine which vendors or items are a priority and which can be trimmed or limited.

How to Keep Wedding Expenses Down

There are several ways you can keep costs down and put on a spectacular event. Consider the following to save money that could help balance your wedding budget or go towards your honeymoon.

• Ask Friends and Family to Help – Enlist the help of friends and family to take care of certain aspects of the event. For example, see if anyone will help make decorations, bartend, or assist with setup. These services usually cost extra.
• Choose a Budget-Friendly Venue – Certain venues and locations are in-demand and will come with a higher price tag. Find a venue that offers a balance of cost and amenities.
• Invite the People Who Really Matter – Start by inviting only the people who really matter – close friends and family. Then, if you have spending room, start inviting other people like neighbors, coworkers, and acquaintances.
• Consider Booking During Off-Peak Times – Consider booking your event during off-peak times. For example, summer is a popular season for weddings in many areas. This can cause the cost of services and rentals to go up. Also, consider booking on a day other than Saturday.

Planning an amazing wedding without overspending is possible. Contact Club Venetian today to tour our facility and find out how much your wedding will cost at our beautiful venue.

Planning a wedding can be very stressful. That’s why every bride and groom should learn a little more about the process before they get started. The following tips will help you plan the perfect celebration.

• Have a Guest Count Before You Book a Venue

It’s very difficult to book a venue unless you know how many people you will need it to accommodate. Put your guest list together first, so you have a good estimate. It also helps to create tiers of guests so you know who you must invite and who could be trimmed if needed.

• Get Your Vendor Requests Ready Now for More Bargaining Power

Vendors want your booking. That means they will be more accommodating before you sign a contract. This is a good time to present any special requests. For example, if you want to extend cocktail hour, ask before you book. Vendors may be less willing to honor requests once you have committed.

• Leave Breathing Room in Your Wedding Planning Budget

Your wedding spending shouldn’t include every penny in your budget. Finances can be a huge source of stress when planning an event. Leave breathing room just in case of surprises. Try to leave at least an additional 5% to 10% in case of problems.

• If You Want Perfection Then You Have to Plan the Planning Phase

Yes, you have to plan out your wedding planning. This will help you stay on track and ensure everything is scheduled in the order it needs to be. The more organized you are, the smoother the process will be.

• Learn About Marriage License Requirements Now

Each state may have different requirements for marriage licenses. Get the information for your area now so you know when you should apply for your license. It’s not the most glamorous part of planning a wedding, but it is essential.

Venues that offer catering and other services are a great way to make the process easier. Contact Club Venetian today to learn more about planning a wedding that everyone will talk about for years to come!
