Food & beverage service is such an important piece of your guests’ experience that we have vetted the best catering partners who have proven themselves by their exemplary service at the Villa. The catering staff is responsible for setting up all the tables and chairs, providing food/beverage, bartenders/bar services, place settings, linens and bussing trash throughout the event, taking down all tables and chairs, and cleaning at the end of the event.
*For cultural fusion weddings, you can get food from The Clay Pit or another insured, licensed and health department regulated food establishment who specializes in the culturally focused cuisine you are wanting. (Advance approval from the venue is required). But you MUST still hire either Sparkle Events or Sterling Events from our preferred list, for venue setup/breakdown, food setup and service, beverages and bar services. No exceptions allowed to this policy.

At Villa Antonia, we have an exclusive list of required vendors that must be used for Catering and Wedding Coordination/Planning. This is to ensure that the planning of your event is handled with the utmost of knowledge relating to the venue’s intricate logistics and policies. These vendors are tenured, frequent our space, and are experts on setup, service, timing and the contractual agreement we have with you.
Although our caterers can provide a various array of food offerings and custom menus, if you choose to utilize cultural cuisine, we do make an exception to our outside food policy. We do not allow home bakers or cooks to prepare or provide food. The restaurant/food establishment will need to provide a copy of their liability insurance, food and beverage license, must be health department rated and provide a general liability policy. Per your contract, they would deliver the food and you would hire one the Villa Antonia’s preferred caterers for the following:

Yes, you have access to the entire venue on your wedding day, but please know, dinner setup in any area other than the main level will require significant additional labor expense through your catering team along with the tented setup of a catering prep area in parking lot #2, additional lighting brought in from an outside vendor, and tables/chairs delivered and setup from a rental company, since the Villa Antonia tables and chairs cannot be carried down the parking lots or stairs due to potential damage and labor intensity. You have 2 standard options for dinner setup included in your venue rental- the indoor Wine Cellar for a climate controlled experience or the outdoor Chapel Terrace for Al Fresco/Sunset dining.
