“Loved Centennial. The space is amazing, large enough to feel lush but earthy enough to feel intimate. The staff know their stuff and put any worries to ease. Getting married in Covid changed a few things, but we really worked to make it as special as possible within the regulations; the team was both professional but accommodating. The food was delicious, service on point, wine was perfect, the setting was divine. We had a winter wedding, so to have the fireplace on the inside was beautiful!” - Amy G.

“We had our reception at Centennial Vineyards, and our events coordinator was amazing and beyond helpful! We were very lucky to be able to have her help. The set-up was all very easy, and we didn't need a lot of decorations for the venue. It's all very personal, and the chef came out to talk with us, and with the vineyard, we were able to do wine tastings with them as well. All the staff were very happy and friendly on the night, and everything just ran so smoothly!” - Lucinda M.

We had our small and intimate wedding at Centennial vineyards recently and we can highly recommend it. The staff went above and beyond both in planning stage and on the day. A big thank you to Rebecca for helping with all the planning and a big thank you to Cathy for hosting and looking after us on the day in the beautiful upstairs vineyard room. The venue itself is so stunning and the garden and courtyard makes for beautiful photos and parties. We can also really recommend the vineyard room for smaller weddings like ours. The food and wine was great and many guests commented on how lovely it all was. Thank you for making it a perfect day for us.

Cocktail Style Reception Order of Events

Hi All, We are having a cocktail style reception (no sit down dinner) for our wedding. The ceremony starts at 3pm, reception starting at 4pm for 4 hours (8pm). My question is what would be the order of events for the reception? There is no garter or bouquet toss, I'm giving my bouquet to my grandma. My thought is, 415pm introductions > 430pm toasts and speeches > 5pm bouquet to grandma > 515pm cake cutting > 530pm first dances > 6pm party dancing > 745 send off > 8pm end. Does that seem ok? Or do you suggest something different? Thanks!

Hi Belinda,

My advice would be to check this directly with your venue.

They will have certain times it will take to serve food and may have certain times that your event will need to start at or after. 

Every venue is different.

Regards,

Rebecca
