What We Do:

A more in-depth explanation of what we do, and the areas that we help with!

  • We will send a bridal checklist after booking. This includes questions about your timeline, and helps us set it up for you, vendor information, décor helper information, handicapped parking space needs, plans for send-offs, and scheduling a final appointment, if desired.

  • We need all vendor information at least 2 months prior to your wedding. We will contact them regarding their arrival time, if they need anything from us, and receive their insurance information. If you decide to use our Bluetooth speaker instead of a DJ, we will send along our MC sheet for you to develop with your operator, and send back to you. If your cater is not serving for the lower level, this includes food and or beverages, you will need to designate someone to do this for you. We will need all the same contact information for the people who are helping this includes food helpers and or décor helpers. We would like to discuss your plans regarding how our venue can be utilized.

  • Once we have your timeframe set up and desired ceremony time, we will send you a recommended timeline based on your rental timeframe and etc. Discuss this with any vendors you’re planning your timeline with. Approval of timeline. After this point, please let us know if anything changes so we can make any notes or updates for staff. Please let us know of any questions!

  • Dooley’s Staff sends a questionnaire, if there are any questions regarding the questions please do not hesitate to reach out with questions! Once we receive your answers, we will send the drafts for you to choose from and give comments. Please reach out with questions that you may have! Once approved, we will send a linen list with quantities and dimensions for easy ordering; the linen dimensions will be for a full-drop. If you want specialized linens, such as spandex, puddle, let us know and we will send you the measurements for that instead.

  • We will send an email with processional questions for you to fill out. Once you have answered the processional questions, we will send you a draft of the written up processional that our staff will follow on your wedding day. You can either approve it or we can change things based on your needs. If there are questions regarding the processional please let us know!

  • We have a variety of items and décor that you are welcome to borrow if it is included in your wedding package. We will send you the borrow book, with images of the item, how many we have, the measurements, and the replacement value if something ends up damaged. We also ask that for any décor you are bringing yourself you send us mock set up photos so that we are able to set it up for you on the day of your wedding

We like to reach out to our couples at least once a month to check in on you and see if there is anything that you need. We know wedding planning is crazy, and your attention is being pulled in different directions. To help, we will send a few reminder emails as needed to help you stay on track.
