Private Event Faqs
Can we bring outside food or catering?
We encourage guests to work with our exclusive onsite caterer, Amalfi, who is happy to customize menus to create the perfect dining experience. If you have something specific in mind, such as sushi or barbecue, exceptions may be made for select outside vendors with prior approval. Outside cakes are welcome, and a $100 cake-cutting fee will apply.
Can we bring outside beverages?
We offer a wide selection of non-alcoholic beverages, along with wine, beer, and liquor for event bars. To ensure the best experience for all guests and remain compliant with licensing regulations, outside beverages are not permitted at events.
Do you provide décor, or can we bring our own?
You’re welcome to bring your own décor to personalize your event. We also offer complimentary black linens, bud vases (flowers not included), and a limited collection of artificial eucalyptus runners, ivory cheesecloth runners, and black candlestick holders with battery-operated candles to help elevate your tablescape. We kindly ask that confetti not be used and that all personal décor is removed at the conclusion of your event.
How early can we arrive to set up?
Our events team arrives approximately three hours prior to your event to begin setting and preparing the space. You’re welcome to arrive two hours before your event to begin your own setup. This allows us time to ensure tables and other foundational elements are in place prior to your arrival.
How late can my event go?
Due to local sound ordinances, events at Orfila may continue until 10:00 PM. We kindly ask that all amplified music end at this time to respect our neighbors and community guidelines.
Do you allow live music or DJs?
Yes, we love live music and DJs at events! If the music will be audible to other winery guests, we simply ask for prior approval. All outside vendors are also required to provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) in advance.
Do I need to have a wedding planner/coordinator?
While our events team will be onsite to offer support throughout your celebration, we do require a wedding planner or day-of-coordinator. They can help manage timelines, coordinate vendors, and ensure every detail of your special day runs smoothly.
How do I secure my date?
Your date is officially reserved once we receive a signed contract and the initial 25% deposit.
When is my final guest count due?
We ask that your final guest count be submitted two weeks prior to your event date.
Can guests leave their cars on the property overnight?
Yes. Vehicles may remain on the property overnight. Please note that the gates are locked after hours, and guests may return to retrieve their vehicles beginning at 11:00 AM the following day.
Can we coordinate a ceremony rehearsal?
Of course! Your ceremony rehearsal can be arranged to take place anytime between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM the day before your wedding (exact timing depends on if there is another event occurring the day before your event). Your wedding coordinator must be present to lead and organize the rehearsal.
What does the venue fee include?
The venue fee includes 5 hours of event time, round tables with black linen, white acrylic chairs, plates, silverware, black linen napkins, wine glasses, water glasses, and a dedicated banquet staff to handle setup, breakdown, and service throughout your event. Please note: if you’re bringing in your own catering, plates and silverware will not be provided.
