Designed For Your Budget
In working with each bridal couple, Tom keeps in mind that planning a wedding can be stressful. “They’re thinking, ‘Who will be coming? Can we do this financially? Will my personality be shown?’ If mom and dad aren’t paying for the wedding, they always worry about affording it.”
In terms of budgets, Tom has a special arrangement. He tells us that in creating Nanina’s, the owners wanted a property every bride and groom could afford. “For example, a wedding on a Saturday night in season, May through October, is over $225 a head, But have a Thursday evening wedding in season and it’s $120 per person. Choose a Saturday wedding out of season and it could be $150 per person.
“But no matter when you have your wedding at Nanina’s, with us, it’s always one event at a time. That’s one waiter per table, at least two maitre d’s coordinating everything, and bridal attendants. Everyone gets the same thing. Most facilities have an in-season menu, an out-of-season menu, or an afternoon menu, but not us.
“So my job as an event planner is to find the best value for each bride and groom. It’s not about the least or most expensive wedding, it’s finding the best value.” There are two event planners on staff at Nanina’s. “Often you have to hire an event planner, but we’re here for you.”
