Farewell brunch venue
The morning-after send-off — coffee and one more hour with the people who traveled.
Also called: farewell brunch, morning after brunch, send-off brunch, post-wedding brunch.
When couples book this
Weekend brunch rooms near your venue book with the same season you did. It moves with your date.
Your wishlist, before you talk to anyone
Questions you can answer early — they become the yardstick you compare candidates against.
What kind of morning?
What settles once booked
The working details you and your vendor pin down together.
Who's invited to the brunch?
Usually the families and traveling guests — the guest page's per-event invites carry the list once it's set.
The window
Late morning with a drop-in feel travels best — people leave for flights in waves.
What time do they arrive?
The time you agreed together, not an estimate worked back from the ceremony.
What time do they finish?
Who do you call on the day?
The name and cell number of whoever is on site — not the office line.
Where do they come in, and where do they park?
The load-in door or dock, where the vehicles go, and who opens up.
Do they need a meal?
Counts toward your caterer's vendor-meal number.
What balance is due on the day?
Your own figure, from your contract — what is still owed when they arrive.
What gratuity are you planning?
Your own figure. It rides beside the balance on the day-of money sheet.
Where does it move if the weather turns?
Who makes the weather call?
One name. A call two people share is a call nobody makes.
By what time is the call made?
Setup crews need the answer before they start, so this usually lands the morning of.
How it’s usually priced
Usually priced per guest.
Lines that sometimes ride along: Room / buyout fee.
What your vendor reads from your plan
Book on or off Beetrothed — either way the plan assembles a brief your vendor can work from: the brunch, the event, contacts.
