A: We can accommodate up to 300 guests on each winery green. The average wedding at Breaux is 150.

Q:Do you host multiple events on the day of my wedding?
A: No! When you choose Breaux as your wedding and reception site, you can relax in knowing that you will not run into another bride! We are host to one signature event at a time.

Q:Can you give me an estimated cost for my entire wedding?
A:Breaux hosts signature weddings and therefore we take a personal approach to your needs. With respect to your personality, personal wishes, family traditions and customs, we do not take a "cookie cutter" approach to any event. The cost of your entire wedding should always be determined by your budget. Your wedding coordinator can help you with this.

Q:Do you provide the catering?
A: Breaux Vineyards does not have a caterer on site but we do have Select Vendors that have created menues exclusively for our site. You may bring any caterer on site as long as they have the required insurance and licensing and they have been approved by our Events Manager. We do require that caterers that are not on our list meet with our events manager so that they understand our rules and regulations and so they can get to know the site better. All caterers must provide Breaux with a copy of their certificate of insurance.

Q: Do I need a Wedding Planner for my event?
A: Any event with 60 guests or more requires that you have a professional wedding planner for the day of your wedding. We will have 2 employees present at your event but we do not act as a coordinator unless we are contracted to do so. For events under 60, a family member or friend may serve as a designated point of contact and will assist the bride and groom for the duration of the event. Obligations include keeping up with timelines and contractual stipulations, We charge $100 per hour for coordination or a flat rate of $1800 for coordination on the day of the wedding. We can also recommend outside wedding coordinators to you.

You are welcome to stop by any time during business hours to view the grounds but if you would like for us to walk you through the site, or discuss your day in any capacity, appointments are necessary. Weekdays between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm are preferred. Weekends are very busy and appointments are available between 10:30 am and 12:00. Of course, if absolutely necessary, we can schedule at a time not listed here in order to acommodate your needs. After you have contracted, you will still need an appointment to discuss further details of your day.
