Open House... RE-LIVED!

Remember back-to-school night? That one time a year where you could share with your family all the wonderful things you created. Well, the Monte Verde Inn does a very similar day/evening once a year for all our booked couples.

It's a time for us to share the delicious cuisine, yummy beverages, decadent cakes, amazing floral designs, as well as provide a helpful guide to keep our couples on track and organized. Each couple is able to explore different cuisine from each menu and discuss a multitude of service options available from each of our amazing preferred vendors.

Yesterday was simply wonderful, everyone was excited to find out what the Open House entailed. We always give each couple as they book information about our annual Open House, but we typically won't share all the details. Simply said, somethings are better experienced than spoken.

So with that, we had a fun time with each of our groups. As our couples found their seats, we kicked off the days event with a little game hosted by Joe Kalamaras of SJ's Disc Jockey. It's a fun way to break the ice and help everyone feeling a little more relaxed. The winners of our first and second group each won a wonderful gift from Joe for being such good sports. Now that everyone was ready for more, Kelly introduced each of our preferred vendors and a few of our staff members. Annette had a brief discussion about our Social Media efforts and Kelly held a little impromptu workshop, addressing some of the most common questions surrounding weddings (more specifically a wedding at MVI). Once that all wrapped up our couples were able to really dig into the cuisine and see what pleased their palate the best. Upon filling their tummies, each couple was served with a platter of cake choices to sample. Always a delectable moment in the event! By the end of the evening, each couple was not only very full but had so much more information to kick off their decision making process.

It was an amazing day and we would like to thank each of our couples for taking time to join us and help facilitate the items you like and need on your wedding day. We'd also like to thank each of our amazing preferred vendors for being with us and as always exuding such professionalism!

We hope to see many more couples book their amazing union with us in the coming weeks and months. If you're interested in a Sierra Foothills wedding at a gorgeous private estate... look no further... Monte Verde Inn just may be your dream come true!

Till our next event...
Happy Planning!
Kelly & Annette
