PrintIt's All about the Location
August, 2010 - Issue #70
Some brides will tell you that choosing a location was harder than selecting their spouse to be.
But it doesn't have to be so difficult. The key to a great location is, strangely enough, "location" - meaning that it's close enough to your home to make site visits, planning appointments and vendor interviews convenient.
Lucky for you, the SCV is filled with an incredible variety of wedding and event locations from which to choose. Here are five of our favorites.
An Elegant Country Club Setting
TPC Valencia
288-1995, extension 133 www.tpcvalencia.com
What's different: How many of your friends can say that they were married on a champion golf course? A wide selection of indoor and outdoor event and ceremony locations ensure that you have just the right size and ambience for your big day.
What's cool: The experienced, professional on-site event coordinator may become your new best friend.
What's convenient: TPC Valencia's on-site catering service is both convenient (Who wants to deal with another vendor?) and impressive. Those "in the know" know that the country club has a well-deserved reputation for incredible cuisine and presentation.
What's picture perfect: Expansive views of the valley, stacked stone accents and vaulted ceilings offer the perfect background for your "once in a lifetime" shots.
Emerald Fairways & Champagne Toasts
Valencia Country Club
254-4401 www.valenciagolfclub.com/weddings
What's different: The variety of event locations on site (the Clubhouse is an impressive 45,000 square feet) can accommodate between 16 and 300 guests, and an event planner is available to help you make the best choice.
What's cool: You'll appreciate their full bridal suite, complete with private bathroom.
What's convenient: In addition to making your reception memorable, Valencia Country Club can also accommodate your wedding ceremony. Breathe easily knowing that your family and friends are all at one location and they are being cared for with the greatest attention to detail and class.
What's picture perfect: Spectacular panoramic views of the golf course, dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, vaulted ceilings, a full-service bar and wrap-around terrace come together for the ultimate in ambience.
Limited Only by your Imagination
The Hyatt Regency Valencia
799-1234 valencia.hyatt.com
What's different: You can get an up-to-the-minute update on news and events by visiting the hotel's Facebook page (Hyatt Regency Valencia Events). Watch videos, tour photo albums and start dreaming of the possibilities!
What's cool: The ballrooms, with exquisite decor and expansive ceilings, can be transformed into the ideal setting for both traditional and ethnic weddings.
What's convenient: Hyatt Regency offers ample complimentary parking, ballroom accommodations for up to 400 guests, and outside caterers are permitted with the approval of the executive chef.
What's picture perfect: Hyatt Regency's lush, romantic gardens are filled with aromatic roses and flowers. Several successful Indian weddings have already taken advantage of the beautiful setting this year.
Santa Clarita's Hidden Gem
Ambassador Banquet Hall
310-0903 www.ambassadorbanquet.com
What's different: Because it's located in the industrial center, there's plenty of parking. But - even better - late night events are not a problem.
What's cool: The modern LED-lit bar is gorgeous and the extra rooms set up for dressing, photography and storage are a brilliant addition.
What's convenient: You can bring in your own catering and drinks, and their list of recommended vendors serves as a "who's who" in the industry. You'll save money because Ambassador boasts its own dinnerware, projectors, tables and chairs - plus a dance floor and stage.
What's picture perfect: The large, elegant hall is well appointed and intentionally neutral so that you can truly customize the look to fit your theme and personality.
Welcome Aboard for a Romantic Wedding Cruise
Scarlett Belle Riverboat Weddings
805-204-0977 www.scarlettbelle.com
What's different: Wow your guests (40 to 150 of them) with a luxury cruise in the beautiful Channel Islands Harbor, just a short drive from Santa Clarita.
What's cool: A wedding aboard the Scarlett Belle is unique, memorable, romantic and surprisingly affordable. There's a package priced for every budget.
What's convenient: Totally customizable packages are all inclusive and can include delicious food, drinks, cake, a DJ, flowers and more. Log onto the website to view the many options (and check out the photos!).
What's picture perfect: The expansive backdrop of the scenic harbor will capture the moment as you and your partner say your vows and tie the nautical knot surrounded by the breathtaking Ventura county coastline.
What to Consider when You're Considering a Location
The location's ambience is great, but what about its immediate
surroundings?
The tone of the event can be set before your guests even get out of their cars.
Are there discounts for booking during slow times?
Hosting a weekday or morning event may score you a deal on your party.
Do you like the staff?
If the way you're being treated bothers you during a site walk, imagine how much it will light your fire on the big day. If the site is perfect but the staff member you've been assigned to leaves you wanting, ask a supervisor if there's an alternative.
