PLANNING TIP: Off-set a significant portion of your package expense! As you budget, don’t forget to factor in your friends’ contributions for staying on-site during your time at The Holly Farm. Your people want to be with you, They will happily steal away from work to spend a few amazing days
together in Carmel. Even a minimal nightly contribution from on-site
guests will greatly reduce your bottom line.
Catering
Local, seasonal, organic, always. Each menu at The Holly Farm
is created in a private menu consultation with our talented and
experienced chef. We have numerous sample menus from which you can cull ideas and we encourage you to bring in a list of your favorite dishes.
Schedule a private tasting or join us at the complimentary season
open-house tastings exclusively for booked clients. Menus can be as
extravagant as you can dream them to be.
While you are welcome to provide your own food during your
stay (cook on-site in The Adobe Hacienda’s well-equipped kitchen, stock
up the houses as you wish, cook/host your own rehearsal dinner and/or
brunch up to 40 people), we do require clients to use our in-house
catering company for the food and service on the wedding day. Trust us,
you and your guests are sure to love our amazing chef!
Vendors
In working with our clientele who come from all across the
country and around the world, we have compiled a list of some of the best vendors in the industry. This group espouse our same philosophies
and are familiar with the nuances and expansiveness of the estate. A
vendor’s comfort with the space simplifies the planning process on your
end. The people on our referral list have strong reputations in their
respective fields and exemplify exceptional quality of work. You are
more than welcome to use vendors that are not listed by The Holly Farm.
If you or someone in your community is crafty and artsy, feel free to
bring your talents to the table!
