These services are not included in Weill Center wedding packages. Any caterer, florist or photographer may be used for your event. You will be responsible for securing catering, floral and décor, photography, and any additional services for your ceremony and/or reception. Your event coordinator will work with you to ensure smooth logistics with your preferred vendors. Plates, utensils, glassware (outside of bar service), napkins will not be provided by the Weill Center (caterers can provide).
You are responsible for securing entertainment for your ceremony and/or reception. The Weill Center will need to connect with your preferred vendor (DJ or live music) at least 2 months in advance of your wedding date. This will ensure we have the appropriately sized footprint set-up for your entertainment. Weill Center technical support will be onsite (included in your package) to assist with set-ups and to support as needed. The Weill Center can arrange for live entertainment for your special day at an additional cost.
Beverage service must be provided by the Weill Center. No alcoholic beverages may be brought in for any portion of the event. The Weill Center can provide a full bar - liquor, beer, wine, soda, water.

The Weill Center may exercise the right to deny service to any guest.
