Charlottesville Planners — Common Questions
Our vineyard venue looks complete. What does it actually supply?
Often a view, a barn or pavilion, and a rule that the wine is theirs. Frequently not a commercial kitchen, not enough restrooms for a full guest list, not lighting once the sun is behind the ridge, and not a plan for the tasting room guests still in the parking area at four. A planner reads the venue agreement for what is absent, which is the expensive part.
How much of a problem is the road up to the site?
Enough that transport is designed around it. Gravel, a single lane, no lighting and a turning circle a coach cannot make are common, and a supplier''s van is not the same vehicle as a shuttle bus. Someone should drive the route at the hour guests will drive it. If a full-size coach cannot turn, the plan is more small vehicles, and that changes the schedule.
Do university weekends really matter for a wedding?
For rooms and rates, very much. Home football weekends, graduation and move-in fill the town and push guests further out, which lengthens every drive on your day. Check the academic calendar before you pick a date, and if the date is fixed, hold rooms earlier than you otherwise would.
Who handles the rain plan on a mountain site?
Whoever you have hired to make the call, and that has to be named. A tent booked late in the week costs more and may not be available at all in peak season, so the decision point is usually earlier than couples expect. Ask each planner you speak to what their deadline for that call is and what it costs to hold a tent that you may not use.
Is a local planner worth it over someone from Richmond or Washington?
On a site like this, usually. The value is knowing which farm road floods, which venue''s power fails when the kitchen and the band run together, and which caterer has worked that pavilion before. Someone coming in from a city can absolutely do it, but ask what they have worked here and whether the travel is in the fee.
