A private estate can be a beautiful backdrop to the wedding of your dreams, but if you haven’t prepared yourself, estate weddings and special events can easily turn into a planning nightmare. Here are some tips to ensure your estate event planning runs as smoothly as the event itself:


Hire an event planner with estate event experience to help guide you through the event planning process. An experienced professional who knows the ins and outs-and how to (gracefully) handle any challenges that pop up-can really can save you money, time and a lot of headaches.
Find out if a special events permit is required in the town you wish to have your event. If a permit is necessary, make sure that your estate’s permit is valid and is in good standing with the city.
Don’t just take someone’s word for it: confirm with the homeowner that the estate is really available to rent as a wedding or reception space.
Be realistic: your estate rental budget should not be more than 20% of your overall budget. If you do not have a set wedding budget, it’s worth having a wedding planner prepare one for you before you start putting down deposits and reserving your date.
Your deposit should be 50% of the rental fee and should be refundable as long as you put the estate back to the condition it was prior to your party, i.e. clean up and no damage to the property.
Verbal contracts leave you very little to fall back on. Make sure every detail that’s important to you is spelled out clearly in writing and signed by everyone involved (most importantly, the homeowner, event site representative, and you).
•As you map out your own dream private estate wedding, repeat this mantra to yourself: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true.
