Central Florida Wedding Packages

The contract encompasses the exclusive use of the event space, rental time frame, date, food and beverage minimums, and space rental fees. It will specify an estimated guest count; however, you are not obligated to meet this number. Your responsibility is limited to covering the food and beverage minimums. The committed use of meeting and banquet spaces is restricted to the hours specified in the Banquet Event Order. Additionally, the resort reserves the right to make reasonable substitutions in the allocated spaces, and the group agrees to accept such substitutions as necessary.

Clients are responsible for the setup and breakdown of their décor. Our Catering Sales Manager may provide limited assistance with setup, subject to prior arrangement. Please note that Mission Resort + Club is not responsible for the overall event setup and breakdown, nor are we liable for any items that are lost or damaged during these processes.

To ensure the beauty and safety of our venue, we request that décor exclude indoor sparklers, confetti, loose glitter, rice, and unenclosed tapered candles. Open flames are welcome when contained within a glass vase. Please note that non-compliance with these guidelines will result in a cleanup/damage fee.

You can enjoy food and beverages provided exclusively by Mission Resort + Club in the Get Ready Rooms. Please note that bringing in outside food or drinks will incur a $500 cleanup fee per room.

This crucial meeting is scheduled by the Catering Sales Manager three to four months before your wedding. It's designed to set the stage for your special day, covering key aspects such as:

• Event schedule
• Setup details for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception
• Menu selections

Following this meeting, the Catering Sales Manager will provide you with essential planning documents, including:

• Banquet Event Order (BEO)
• Banquet Check
• Event Layout Diagram

These documents form the foundational blueprint of your event. We will fine-tune the details from there, ensuring everything is perfect for your big day.

We suggest a RSVP due date to be set 30 days before the wedding date. We will work closely with the client from that point forward to continue to update your guest count and solidify all details. Final guest count is requested 10 business days before the wedding.

All food and beverage services must be arranged exclusively through the culinary team at Mission Resort + Club. We welcome outside vendors to supply the wedding cake or dessert table for your special day. Additionally, special accommodations can be made for specific dietary requirements, including Kosher, Halal, and other cultural catering needs.

Mission Resort + Club welcomes pets. We charge a non-refundable fee of $100 plus taxes for dogs up to 50 lbs. Please note that our pet-friendly rooms are limited, so we require advance notice if you plan to bring your pet.

Welcome bags provided by the couple may be handed out at check-in by our Front Desk agents at $5 + tax per bag, or delivered by our Bellmen at $6 + per bag.

Mission Resort + Club has three distinct venue options for your wedding day, each with a designated ceremony, cocktail, and reception location. Since the resort is spread over 1,100 acres, locations cannot be mixed and matched. In addition, we have numerous locations on the property for your rehearsal dinner and farewell brunch.

We kindly request that clients track the number of guests under 12 attending so we can adjust the package price for the food component if a plated dinner is chosen. We offer an optional children’s plated meal featuring chicken tenders, fries, and fruit at $40.00 per child, plus service charge and tax. Vendor meals are also available at $40.00 per vendor, plus service charge and tax.

An initial deposit is required at the time of contract signing. An additional 25% deposit is due three months after signing. The remaining balance must be settled 30 days prior to the wedding. Any further charges incurred will be due in the week leading up to the wedding.

The reception space may be used as your ceremony backup if necessary, though this is rare.

We reserve the ceremony for one hour to accommodate 30 minutes of guest arrival and a 30-minute ceremony. Cocktail hour is for one hour and wedding reception space is held for 4 hours. Additional hours may be added at $500 + service charge and tax/ per hour and does not include a charge for the vendor’s additional hours or bar.

At Mission Resort + Club, we encourage you to select vendors that best meet your needs and preferences. Please be advised that all vendors operating on our property must possess valid business licenses and carry insurance with a minimum of $1,000,000 in general liability coverage.

Food and beverage minimums are set for all weddings, depending on the guest count. All pre-planned food and beverage expenses billed to the primary account will count toward these minimums. Should the actual spending fall short of the agreed minimum, the client will be required to pay the difference from the contracted amount.

While a wedding planner is not required, Mission Resort + Club strongly recommends engaging a professional wedding planner for at least day-of coordination. All wedding packages include the services of a catering manager to assist with your event needs.
