Wedding Coordinator/Planner

Sundance will assign a catering manager for your wedding function to assist you in planning the Sundance aspects of your event (schedule of events, room set up, menus, audio visual requirements, lodging and guest activities). Sundance’s catering managers do not act as wedding coordinators and are not responsible for the ceremony or procession, managing vendors arranged by the bridal party, the timing of the toast, cake cutting, etc. Your catering manager will ensure that all the menus, room design, food and facilities are set up and serviced to your specifications.

Sundance requires all brides work with a wedding planner to coordinate the timing and all the details of your wedding day. Your catering manager can refer you to our preferred vendors to make your own arrangements for a wedding coordinator, entertainment, flowers, cakes, etc. An on-site day of contact is required—please provide the name and contact information of your coordinator to your catering manager.

Charges
