WEDDING PLANNING PROCESS
Am I required to have a Wedding Day of Coordinator?
Weddings are required to have a professional Wedding Day of Coordinator, Planner or Event Manager. All vendors who are contracted to work and/or setup on your wedding day must provide Temecula Creek Inn with their Certificate of Insurance.
When will I be introduced to the Catering Service Manager?
Six months prior to your wedding date your Catering Services Manager will contact you. This time frame allows the manager to prioritize all planning and logistics with sufficient time to prepare for your big day!
What is a details meeting?
An appointment to sit down with your Catering Service Manager and discuss your Temecula Creek Inn setup, food and beverage selections. This is also the time to ask all of your Temecula Creek Inn related questions (anything regarding the venue, setup, or food and beverage).
When will my details meeting take place?
Your Catering Service Manager will plan this date with you, between two to four months prior to your wedding date.
When will my wedding rehearsal take place?
The wedding rehearsal will be tentatively scheduled at your detail meeting. The time and location of your ceremony rehearsal (this typically occurs the day before your wedding) will be guaranteed 30 days prior to the rehearsal date.
Where can I get wedding liability insurance?
We suggest beginning with an existing homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy, and adding special event wedding insurance on as an addendum to your policy. Typically, this will be the most cost effective option. You can also find “Wedding Insurance” online.
What is required for the liability insurance?
For the night of your wedding, you are required to carry a general liability policy with at least $1,000,000.00 insurance coverage. All of your hired vendors are also required to provide Temecula Creek Inn with a Certificate of Insurance to work on the property. Vendor policies must show $2,000,000 in insurance coverage.
Do you have a wedding vendor list?
We have a list of vendors that frequently work at our property. You are not required to use vendors on our list, but it is highly encouraged because they are familiar with Temecula Creek Inn’s standard procedures and policies, and typically keep their business insurance on file.
