Helpful Information
Decorations
With our linen and coordination upgrade to the lease-only package our team of coordinators will meet with you ahead of time as many times as needed to discuss decorations and set up. We have vases you may use for floral or candle centerpieces. You may discuss decorations with our staff before your event. We have many centerpieces available for use. You are also welcome to use some of your own decorations as long as it is pre-approved by the Owner and City of Grapevine, Texas Fire Marshall.
Wedding Items
With our linen and coordination upgrade to the lease-only package our team of coordinators will help set up your indoor décor and the following items for you: guest book, sign-in table, toasting glasses, cake table, and etc. Any items that need to be set up should be brought the day of your event, along with an inventory sheet of items. An easel is also available for your bridal portrait. Most importantly, you will need to arrange to have a family member or friend to remove your gifts and other items at the end of the event. It is always a good idea to have a family member or friend tape cards that match the gifts to the actual gift.
Paradise Cove is not responsible for any items lost or left at our facility. All wedding items/decorations brought into Paradise Cove must be taken at the end of the event. Any items left more then one (1) week will be discarded.
