Your catering manager is not your Wedding Planner!
That’s why Sari Rose, director of catering at Santa Barbara's exquisite Canary Hotel,
requires all wedding clients to hire an outside professional, whether it's a full-service
wedding consultant or a day-of wedding coordinator. She includes the following in
all her information packets:
Your hotel catering manager will:
• provide a personalized tour of the Hotel
• recommend special event professionals to provide wedding coordination,
music, flowers, photography, officiating, and other wedding services
• act as a menu consultant for all food and beverage selections
• detail your banquet event order and wedding résumé outlining all of your
event’s specifics and ensure that it is communicated flawlessly to the operational team of the Hotel
• create an “estimate of charges” outlining your financial commitments and
deposit schedule
• create a floor plan of your function space in order for you to provide seating
arrangements
• arrange and attend your menu tasting
• personally oversee the details of the bride and groom’s room reservations, if
applicable
• oversee the ceremony and reception set-ups, food preparation and other
Hotel operations
• be the on-site liaison between your wedding coordinator and the Hotel
operations staff
• ensure a seamless transition to the Hotel’s banquet captain upon arrival to
your event
• review your banquet checks for accuracy prior to completion of the final bill
Your hired professional wedding consultant/coordinator will:
• assist with etiquette and protocol for invitations, family matters, ceremony
and reception
• create a timeline for your wedding day, including ceremony and reception
• work with you to organize and coordinate your ceremony rehearsal, remind
bridal party of all pertinent times and “don’t forgets” on the day of the
wedding
• confirm times and details with all vendors several days prior to the wedding
• be the liaison with your family, bridal party, band/DJ, florist, photographer
and other vendors to create seamless operation
• assist you with your gown and any additional needs of the bridal party
• assist the bridal party with their bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres
• set up ceremony programs, place cards, favors, guest book, Champagne
flutes and any other personal items
• line up and cue the bridal party and musicians for the ceremony
• collect any personal items for you at the conclusion of the reception
• assist you with anything from “day-of” coordination to “full-service” from your
engagement to your honeymoon
