What do we mean by an “All-Inclusive” event?
All-inclusive refers to a venue that provides everything you would need to make your event come together. The term all-inclusive usually describes a venue that includes everything from the food and drinks to the table linens and event rentals. Some all-inclusive event spaces offer (or partner with) DJs, floral designers, and photography services, although this depends on your specific needs and style.
Some of the things you can expect from a San Diego all-inclusive event solution include:
- Day of wedding or event coordinator
- Event manager and wait staff to make sure everything runs smoothly
- Custom menus and bar options
- Champagne or sparkling cider for the toast
- Complimentary cake cutting service
- Tables, including sweetheart table for a wedding
- Guestbook tables and place card tables
- Belly bars with stools for cocktail hour
- Patio heaters for outside events
- Floor-length linens (color options typically provided)
- Choice of chargers for plates
- Candle options
- China and champagne flutes for dining
- Setup and clean up services
What is Not Provided in All-Inclusive Event?
This depends on the venue. Many times, the venue will offer flexibility in the available packages. For example, clients may be presented with different menus styles and not be limited to one fixed choice. These options may include variations of a sit-down menu, tray-passed appetizers, and / or specialty dining stations. Clients may also have to say over the color of linens and table layouts.
The following services are typically not included in an all-inclusive event:
- Photographers and videographers make precise decisions during an event. Every photographer and videographer has a unique approach to their style of shooting. So each individual should choose who to work with based on your compatibility and style.
- DJ — DJs are also particular and tend to play towards a specific genre or musical taste. DJs play important roles in San Diego weddings and events as they use their personalities and energy to lead the crowd and change the room’s mood.
- Floral designers — choose a floral designer who is also closely based on your similar personal preference. These are usually chosen by the couple, or event host, as the style and type of flowers can set the entire event’s tone.
However, it is typically a great idea to have an all-inclusive event for the convenience of it all. If you would like suggestions for the DJ, floral designer, photographer, or other services not included by default, ask your coordinator!
