So many things! Check out our detailed list here.

We do not require you to have a Coordinator as we include a lot of support and coordination along the way, including a day-of Facilitator for most things a coordinator would do day-of. The only thing you may want a coordinator for is to manage your decorations, gift/card station, guest book, and dessert table, as these are the only pieces of the puzzle that our team does not handle. If you have a florist and baker, they will take care of arranging any centerpieces and the dessert table. If you have rented any tabletop items through Paesanos (dishes, linens, cutlery), they will set those up for you. If you don’t want to hire a coordinator, you will be required to appoint a Personal Set-Up person (decorator – i.e. cousin, aunt, friend, etc.) to be in charge of decor setup, gift/card table setup, signage, etc. so that you don’t have to worry about those things on your big day!

Your SBV Facilitator will be the main face for Scribner Bend Vineyards on your wedding day. They will be ensuring your vendors are arriving on site on time, managing our Event Staff as they place your reception tables and chairs/ceremony chairs/cocktail hour and bar service, ensuring your Personal Set-Up person (decorator) has placed all items in their corresponding spots (table numbers, guest book, decor, etc). They will run your entire ceremony processional, communicating with your DJ/Band on timing and when to switch songs while lining all attendants up for your ceremony and sending them down the aisle. They will also organize your Grand Entrance into your reception and maintain contact with your DJ/Band and Paesanos Catering to make sure the rest of the evening runs smoothly and on time.

Your Personal Set-Up person (decorator). This is someone you trust to place all your personal pieces – we recommend selecting close family or friends. Please do not select anyone for this role that is included in photos before the ceremony, due to the timing of set-up and photos with your photographer. We suggest you meet with this person the week of your wedding and discuss what items you are bringing on site and where they will need to be placed. Leaving a note and schematic (provided by our Event Director beforehand) with highlighted tables/areas in each tote describing the items and their placement is always a great idea! Our Event Director will be in contact with them leading up to your wedding to make sure they have all the appropriate timelines and schematics, but we will unfortunately not be able to answer specifics on your items for this person, such as how you want certain décor to look on each table.

One of our experienced SBV team members will run you through your wedding rehearsal and answer any last minute wedding questions you might have that day.

Not at all! Our experienced Events Team will set up all included tables and chairs according to your requested layout. If you rent or bring in different tables or chairs, we will make sure they are where they need to be as well.

Paesanos catering team will bus all dishes throughout the evening.

Your designated End of Evening (parents, wedding party attendants) person is responsible for gathering and packing any decorative items you brought with you, including gifts, cards, guest book, and signs. Our crew will take care of all the heavy lifting, cleaning, and trash.

We have just enough 8′ and 6′ tables for a traditional head table or King’s table. If you’d like all your guests seated at long tables, you can rent additional tables through Celebrations.

Yes, we will provide complimentary heaters during your wedding if hosted during our cooler spring and autumn months.

Most couples schedule their rehearsal for the day before their wedding. We can schedule rehearsals as late as 2:00, 3:00, or 4:00pm on evenings with no weddings or events, or up until noon or 1:00pm on days that have scheduled weddings or events.

We budget an hour for your rehearsal, but how long it actually takes depends entirely on the group. We’ve had some go as quickly as 20 minutes and others that have taken the full hour. We do often schedule rehearsals back-to-back, so being punctual is critical – we don’t want to hurry through your rehearsal or have to cut into someone else’s time.

The Bungalow is yours starting at 10:30 AM, and the Airstream Lounge is yours starting at 1:00 PM. When your reception is over, you and/or your helpers will clear all personal belongings from both areas so that our cleaning crew can come in.

Your vendors can arrive on-site for setup at 2:00pm and your Personal set up person/crew can start decorating for your wedding and reception 2 hours before your ceremony begins.

Bar service begins immediately after the ceremony.

Due to our liquor license, hard alcohol is not allowed anywhere on property. This includes in the Bungalow and Airstream Lounge.

You can absolutely have a dry wedding! If this is an option you are interested in, please let us know, and we’ll provide pricing for you.

For many long and boring legal reasons, all alcohol must be served by our bartenders at the bar – no bottles may be placed on the tables for self-service.

The ONLY required vendor is Paesanos Catering. You are welcome to choose any other vendors that fit you best, whether they are on our list or not. If you choose a vendor that isn’t on the list though, there is a Non-Preferred Vendor Fee of 5% to that vendor. This 5% is based on your contract rated with that vendor. You should discuss this with vendors prior to entering into a contract with them – if their pricing doesn’t allow room for the vendor fee, then the fee will be added to your wedding contract with SBV as your responsibility to pay. Any vendor that isn’t on the Preferred Vendor list must be approved by SBV. You are responsible for forwarding any non-preferred vendors the appropriate vendor information sheet which is provided to you via email after booking your wedding.

Your vendors can arrive on-site for setup at 2:00pm and your Personal set up person/crew can start decorating for your wedding and reception 2 hours before your ceremony begins.

Yes, we require all weddings to purchase wedding insurance. We recommend WedSafe or The Event Helper as they are very easy to use.

Because we are a busy winery open to the public, we are unable to store any decorations or personal items overnight after your wedding.

Rentals can be delivered the morning of your wedding day and must be picked up by 8:00am the following morning. Any rentals done through Paesanos will be handled by Celebrations, meaning you don’t have to worry about any of those timing questions!

If anyone at your wedding decides to consume alcohol and needs to carpool or take an Uber or taxi home at the end of the reception, they are more than welcome to leave their car overnight in our parking lot. All cars are required to be picked up by 11:00am the following morning. Any vehicles left overnight are not our responsibility, but the car owner’s.

225 guests April–October, 125 guests in March and November.

We have a number of weather contingency plans already in place! Our reception tent has three windowed sides that can be opened or closed in accordance with the weather. If it’s raining (said to be good luck!), we’ll set up your ceremony under the tent or in the barrel room depending on the number of guests; guests will then be invited into our converted barn with central heating for cocktail hour while we reset the tent for your reception. Finally, we’ll clear a space under the tent for your dance floor… rain or shine, all you have to do is enjoy the evening!
