Frequently Asked Questions

Do I work with you the entire time?

The Sales Team at East Wind works together as a team so there is always someone to be able to assist you at any time. The week of your wedding you will be introduced to your maitre d’. Your maitre d’ is responsible for executing your event.

 


What happens if guests can’t make it?

You are responsible for the number of guests guaranteed on your contract. Your final count is not due until 2 weeks prior to your event date.

 


What happens if more Guests come?

Should I hire an outside Wedding Coordinator?

This is at your discretion but know that most coordinators are expensive and not entirely necessary with the level of service we provide. We provide you with dedicated event representatives, who will be available to help you establish all of the plans for your event.

 


What happens if it rains?

Each venue at East Wind has indoor ceremony capabilities. Your maitre d’ will be in touch with you the week of your wedding to discuss the forecast and ceremony plans as it gets closer.
