Can I provide my own alcohol?

You are permitted to provide liquor and beer, but all wine must be purchased through Fleetwood at 1-case per 25 people (cases begin at $350). If you are providing your own, a private banquet license will need to be obtained for $55 and we provide an easy link to purchase this. All alcohol must be served by the catering company and professional bartender without exceptions.

 

Do I need to contract a day-of coordinator?

All couples must contract a professional day-of coordinator for their event. If the coordinator is not included on our recommended vendors list, we will need to see proof of professional credentials, either through a business license, website, or client reviews. Your coordinator will be responsible for ensuring your day looks, feels, and runs the way you want, so we encourage you to use a professional who is experienced in this area. The Fleetwood event staff will be onsite the day of your wedding but they are there to ensure the property is functional and do not manage design details, timelines, vendors, or the flow of your event.

 

Can my wedding end later than Fleetwood’s standard hours?

Yes, you can rent the available spaces outside of normal operating hours. Per ABC laws, all events must end by 11:00pm. For weddings, spaces are typically reserved from 11am to 11pm, with the standard event hours being from 5pm to 11pm. If you wish to use the wedding party suites before 11am, extra time can be arranged at a rate of $250 per hour.

What does the $250 bartending fee cover, and when is it applicable?

The $250 bartending fee applies per bartender and covers the service for the event when Fleetwood is serving wine or beer. Typically, if there’s a catering team present, they handle all alcohol service, including wine, thus exempting the bartending fee. However, if the catering team serves beer or liquor and there’s a request for Fleetwood to serve the wine due to our expertise, the bartending fee remains applicable.

 

Can I have a private event after hours?

Yes, rent the spaces beyond regular operating hours. However, it’s important to note that events must conclude by 11pm in accordance with ABC laws.

 

Does Fleetwood offer corporate gift boxes?
