VILLA OLIVA VINEYARDS is unlike any other Estate Resort
that has ever been built. NEVER BEFORE have a Bride and Groom
been given the experience of reserving their own BOUTIQUE WINERY and a FULLY-STAFFED PRIVATE VILLA, designed as a stage
to host 250 of their closest friends and family.
We are proud to offer that experience!

PRIVATE ESTATES:  Exclusive, prestigious and unique, a private estate can be an impressive wedding venue.  Often unknown and tucked away, their mystery and intrigue evokes a sense of glamour and style.  A Private Estate gives the Bride and Groom the feeling of Royalty, reining over their kingdom.  The architecture and décor is usually very luxurious and authentic and most estates offer a grand view of a desirable scape.

THE DOWNSIDE OF A PRIVATE ESTATE WEDDING is that since they are built as a residence first, they often lack commercial agility, and require outside vendors for all services; becoming laborious and expensive.  Some of the initial logistics that can get complicated are accessibility, utilities and traffic.  Many times private estates are in gated communities that either limit visitors via a guest list or car placard system, requiring special arrangement or may grant access via shuttle service only, creating a nightmare for vendors such as the florist, caterer and band.  Most private estates do provide rooms for the wedding parties to get ready in but do not open the house up to wedding guests.  Therefore, since only the outside grounds may be used, a tent will need to be brought in.  

Without a permanent structure on-site, all electrical, lighting, heating, cooling and sound systems will need to be out-sourced.   Electrical generators will most certainly be needed and are horrendously loud, bulky and smelly.  All tables, chairs, linens, china, silverware and crystal will have to be rented and a lack of restrooms will likely require the renting of portable facilities. 

Rarely do estates include a church or chapel.  Therefore, unless weather permits an outdoor ceremony, the only indoor ceremony solution would be in the tent with the dinner tables or off-site at a church.

Off-street parking may not be an option and therefore it may be necessary to contract a valet service or shuttle company.  Private Estate rentals usually include the estate grounds only, without any services.

VILLA OLIVA STREAMLINED THE SET-UP PROCESS, REDUCING LABOR AND EXPENSE.  Our service allies are wide and easily accessible for wedding vendors to load and unload just steps away from our entertaining facilities.  By providing our Bride and Groom with a number of in-house services such as all food & beverage service, tables, chairs, linens, etc…we’ve dramatically reduced the number of outside sources the Bride will need.

RESORT WEDDINGS:  Offering huge appeal for their name notoriety and established reputations, many Brides select Resorts as their wedding venue because they know what to expect and that they will be taken care of in a professional manner.  Resort weddings offer beautiful grounds, perhaps a variety of ceremony locations and ballrooms as well as luxurious amenities including lodging accommodations, a Day Spa, restaurants and a bar/lounge.  Special arrangements can be easily made for a Rehearsal Dinner, Bridesmaids’ Luncheon or Sunday Brunch, the following day after the wedding.

THE DOWNSIDE OF A RESORT WEDDING is that because they are a hotel first, they can lack intimacy and be a bit generic.  Since the resort will no doubt be filled with vacationers and other guests, her wedding may be 1 of 5 special events the resort is hosting that day.   Families could be celebrating a 50^th anniversary, corporations may be hosting an awards banquet or even worse, she may run into another Bride on her wedding day as well. 

As beautiful and expensive as most resorts are, you don’t really get a chance to enjoy what you are paying for.  Even in a luxury hotel, wedding receptions are generally relegated to a generic, dime-a-dozen “box” reception facility that may not even include windows. 

Established resorts often have their wedding packages down to a science, turning them out one-after-the-other like a wedding factory.  This can really leave a Bride and Groom feeling void of a personal experience.

VILLA OLIVA GUESTS ENJOY THE SERVICE AND AMENITIES OF A LUXURY RESORT,  ALL TO THEMSELVES.  We proudly offer five-star service, luxurious accommodations and other resort amenities including a European pool,  tennis court, and vineyards.

To provide our Bride with personal, attentive, high-end service, we host only one wedding at a time. 

We also encourage our guests to roam the grounds and span the property throughout the Wedding Weekend.  So much so, that the wedding package has been designed to lead guests from one level of the Estate to another.

Our Grand Ballroom is the antithesis of the ordinary “box” found in many hotels.  Dripping in Italian stonework with oversized glass doors and windows taking up the entire north side, our Ballroom is as much indoor, as it is out.  There is also a Grand Staircase for the Bride and Groom’s dramatic entrance, multiple balconies overlooking the dance floor below and a complete Billiard Lounge.
