About 'monticellos'|Monticello Heritage Harvest Festival: my experience








On               New               Years               Eve               of               2009,               I               walked               down               a               spiraling               staircase               in               a               flowing               white               dress               and               met               my               husband               at               the               bottom,               it               was               an               entrance               that               made               me               blush,               but               certainly               one               I               had               always               dreamed               of.

About               20               members               of               our               close               family               were               seated               on               the               floor,               while               the               others               stood               above               us               around               a               metal-trimmed               balcony.

It               was               eloquent               and               different.

We               had               a               very               short               and               simple               ceremony               which               was               performed               by               my               uncle               (who               is               a               justice               of               the               peace)               and               we               said               our               own               vows               and               included               a               rose               ceremony               with               our               son.

After               our               ceremony,               we               proceeded               to               take               pictures               on               the               balcony,               on               the               gazebo               outside               that               was               decorated               in               Christmas               lights               and               snow,               and               on               the               staircase.

Our               guests               proceeded               to               the               next               room               for               drinks               and               appetizers.

From               there,               we               all               went               into               the               grand               ballroom               for               dinner               and               dancing.

It               was               an               all               together               simplistic               and               average               wedding.

However,               being               that               we               were               married               there               and               had               the               reception               there,               it               made               for               a               very               pleasant               and               free-flowing               time.
               The               details               which               made               Primavera               an               ideal               location:
               1.

The               wedding               planner/coordinator.
               I               have               to               start               by               acknowledging               our               wedding               planner,               whose               name               was               Jane.

She               was               lovely,               friendly               and               very               warm.

She               laughed               at               all               my               emails               on               details,               welcomed               me               with               a               big               hug               every               time               I               went               in               to               pick               out               invitations,               or               meet               the               photographer               and               a               wonderful               way               of               taking               charge               without               being               abrupt               or               aggresive.

And               when               the               day               came,               she               was               right               on               point.

She               was               in               control               of               everything,               making               sure               my               bridesmaids               and               groomsman               walked               on               rhythm               down               the               stairs,               and               that               the               DJ               was               set               up               and               most               importantly...

that               I               was               happy.

She               was               always               in               control               without               ever               being               bossy               or               demanding.

She               was               everything               you               would               want               your               wedding               planner/coordinator               to               be.

In               fact,               when               I               look               back               on               my               wedding,               she               is               someone               I               will               remember               fondly               and               I               am               forever               grateful               for.
               2.

The               price.
               This               is               a               big               factor               for               anyone               who               gets               married.

The               overall               cost               of               our               wedding               was               about               $14,000               (for               an               estimate               of               125               guests),               including,               our               cake,               our               DJ,               our               photographer,               a               limousine,               wine               service               at               dinner,               champagne               for               a               toast,               our               invitations,               our               flowers,               all               the               decorations,               and               everything               in               between.

The               only               costs               that               were               not               included               in               this               price               were               our               videographer               and               open               bar               for               the               entire               night.

My               mother-in-law               handled               those               details               so               I               am               unsure               of               the               total.
               There               are               a               variety               of               wedding               plans               you               can               choose               from.

However,               we               chose               the               Majestic               Wedding               plan,               because               we               wanted               to               choose               our               own               DJ               and               photographer.

There               are               also               upgrades               you               can               make               for               the               dinner               choices.

We               chose               two               simple               chicken               options,               as               well               as               a               vegetarian               option               to               offer.

We               had               lovely               red               roses               and               centerpieces               and               sparkling               white               linens               with               red               bows               tied               to               the               chairs.

It               was               everything               I               wanted               for               my               wedding               at               a               very               reasonable               price.
               3.

The               details.
               Primavera               (and               specifically               our               coordinator),               provided               me               with               lists               of               vendors               they               recommended.

For               instance,               our               cake               was               included               in               the               price,               and               they               provided               me               with               the               number               of               the               vendor               they               work               with               (Monticellos),               and               I               was               able               to               make               the               appointment,               choose               my               cake,               and               then               they               took               care               of               the               rest.

Same               went               for               the               invitations,               and               flowers.

I               considered               myself               a               very               care-free               bride,               so               I               just               pointed               to               what               I               wanted               and               didn't               think               twice.

This               may               be               hard               for               a               bride               who               is               more               controlling               and               would               like               to               know               the               details               of               every               little               aspect.
               Primavera               was               the               perfect               location               for               my               wedding.

In               fact,               I               had               many               guests               report               that               it               was               one               of               their               favorite               wedding               because               it               was               simple,               fun               and               a               little               different.

Rather               than               walking               down               a               long               aisle,               I               walked               down               a               sweeping               Princess               staircase,               while               my               guests               peered               down               from               the               balcony.

And               rather               than               driving               from               the               church               to               the               reception,               my               guests               were               able               to               just               flow               into               the               next               room.

And               rather               than               worrying               about               the               details               and               organization,               my               wedding               coordinator               took               over               and               had               complete               control               of               every               aspect.

Primavera               is               highly               recommended!
