Does Villa Magnolias have a preferred vendors list and am I required to use them for my event?

Outside of the above requirements for caterers, you are welcome to work with any vendor of your choice. We have a curated list of recommendations sorted by category that we would be happy to share with you once you book, though!

Am I required to have a Day of Coordinator?

Villa Magnolias requires a venue-approved day-of-coordinator for all wedding events.

Do I need to have event insurance?

Client is required to obtain a general liability insurance policy through Nuptial (no substitutions or exceptions are permitted) as outlined in the contract.

Can I bring my own alcohol?

Alcohol consumption is permitted at Villa Mangolias ONLY if a "Limited Special Occasion Permit" is obtained prior to the event AND a certified and insured bartender is managing all alcohol provided to guests during the contracted timeframe.

Do you have enough parking for my event?

We have ample on-site parking for guests.

Who will set up the event space?

Our on-site venue staff will set up all items provided in your package or subsequently rented through Villa Magnolias. Set up of rental items from outside vendors or client-provided equipment is the responsibility of the client/vendor.

What decorations do you allow?

We welcome decorations such as flowers, candles and uplighting. We do not allow anything to be applied to the walls or building that will cause damage. Villa Magnolias Event Center also has a selection of decor packages and tabletop rentals.

When does my event need to end?

Per the standard contract, your reception must conclude by 11:00 pm, but your free + clear time when all vendors, guests, and items are to be off-site is at 11:59pm.

After my event is over, who is responsible for clean-up?

Your team of on-site venue staff would take care of general janitorial services and the removal of Villa Magnolias furnishings and rentals. You would only be responsible for cleaning up and removing décor, gifts, and personal items before the free and clear time.
