Inclusive Services

Once you book Imperia, your inclusive journey begins. Your next steps include planning your food, drinks, and ambiance. With our stellar staff, you'll be working with an experienced team who can help you plan every detail.

For your timeline, ceremony details, food and beverage, you'll work with your in-house Event Coordinator on every detail.

When it comes to your look and feel, you'll work with our in-house Event Decor & Floral Manager to build your dream. Whether that's a lush secret garden or a simple candlelit evening, let us help bring your vision to life. Here are the steps of the Floral & Decor Process:

Step One: Service Level

When you book, you'll receive next steps from your coordinator. One of those steps is a short 5-question form, asking what kind of florals and decor you're thinking about.

Don't worry! Your decisions are not final; they just help us to best prepare for your planning process.

Step Two: Your Vision

You'll be contacted by your Event Coordinator and the Event Design & Floral Manager when it's time to start planning your event details. From timeline to dessert, florals to tablesettings, that's your next big meeting. When you are contacted, you'll be asked to fill out an "inspiration form".

This form asks the big questions, like number of people in your wedding party, what you want your event to look like, and if you have any clear budget guidelines. This helps us prepare for the meeting and present a cohesive plan to you. At the end of the form you'll be able to schedule your planning meeting with your coordinator and the floral/design manager.

Step 3: Meetings

It's time to talk about what your vision, needs, and desires are. At your 2-hour planning meeting, here's what we'll cover:

The items found in our First Steps planning list:

  • - Your event timeline
  • - Menu and bar options
  • - Set up and floor plan details
  • - Vendors and logistics

Plus:
  • - A sample event order
  • - Your updated Event Order and Invoice
  • - Your vision, aesthetics, decor and florals

You won’t need to bring anything — we’ll guide you through the entire process. After our meeting, we’ll update your Event Order, send you a Design Proposal, and share the revised versions with you via your Event Portal.

Step 4: Confirmation

In order to ensure delivery of your florals, decor, and items, all floral changes are due no later than 35 days before your event. We'll send you a reminder and place our vendor order no less than 30 business days before your event.

Final guest count, menu decisions, and final payment are due no later than 10 days before your event.

After that, we'll be busily creating your beautiful day!
