These services are not included in Weill Center wedding packages. Any caterer, florist or photographer may be used for your event.

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 can arrange for live entertainment for your special day at an additional cost.
