How Does a Wedding at Casa Murguía Work?

 

Planning a wedding at Casa Murguía typically involves:

Contacting the Casa Management: Reaching out to Casa Murguía’s management to inquire about venue availability and discuss options for exclusive rental of the property or specific event areas like courtyards or salons.

Understanding Venue Rental & Structure: Reviewing their venue rental agreement, which outlines the exclusive use of the property for a specific timeframe (often a set block of hours for the event or potentially overnight), available spaces (courtyards, indoor areas), and any associated venue fees. Clarify their policy on catering – private venues often have a preferred list or an open vendor policy.

Working with the Casa Manager: Collaborating with the Casa’s internal contact (manager or coordinator) primarily on *venue-specific* logistics: ensuring access for vendors, layout possibilities within the courtyards and areas, power sources, restroom facilities, adherence to Casa rules, and potentially coordinating their own staff if included (e.g., basic cleaning). Their role is focused on the physical property itself.

Hiring an External Planner (Highly Recommended, Often Essential): An external planner is *highly recommended*, often essential, for a private venue wedding, especially for destination events. They manage the overall event design vision (which is crucial for transforming the spaces and enhancing the charm), detailed budget management across numerous vendor contracts, sourcing and coordinating *all* external vendors (which are typically extensive for a private venue – catering, florals, rentals, lighting, sound, entertainment, etc.), creating detailed timelines integrating all vendors and activities across the property’s different areas, managing guest logistics (accommodation typically off-site in the city, welcome bags, transportation to the venue), handling vendor contracts, and serves as the primary point person for everyone on the wedding day, troubleshooting issues and ensuring seamless execution from start to finish.

Vendor Selection & Coordination: The couple and their external planner will source and contract *most* or *all* vendors required for the wedding: catering (unless mandatory/exclusive in-house), all decor and specialized installations (lighting the architectural details is key), all florals, all lighting and sound, ALL rentals (tables, chairs, linens, tableware *unless included in catering or Casa rental*), music/entertainment, wedding cake, photography, videography, etc. This provides significant creative control but requires expert coordination.

Guest Accommodation: Casa Murguía likely has *very limited or no* on-site guest rooms. Guests will typically need to arrange their own accommodations off-site, primarily in hotels or rentals within Oaxaca City itself, which is highly convenient due to the location.

The process is primarily venue-centric, with couples building their charming event through external vendors managed by a skilled planner, centered around the Casa’s intimate grounds and traditional architecture, with convenient guest accommodation and transport options within the city.

 

Best Months to Get Married

 

Casa Murguía features beautiful outdoor or semi-covered courtyards. These areas are best enjoyed during the dry season, from late October/early November through April/early May, offering the most consistently pleasant weather for outdoor celebrations and maximizing the use of these charming traditional areas. The rainy season (May-September) is still viable and common, as the Casa will have covered courtyards or indoor salons that serve as reliable backup options for all event components, maintaining the intimate atmosphere regardless of weather.

 

The Basics of Wedding Planning (Casa Venue Model)

 

Casa Murguía Oaxaca City often operates on a Casa Venue Rental + External Vendors/Catering model (verify specific Casa’s policies):

Venue Rental Fee: A primary cost is the exclusive rental fee for using the Casa’s property and designated event spaces (courtyards, salons) for a specific timeframe (often a set block of hours for the event or a 24-hour period). This fee covers the use of the grounds and basic facilities but typically does *not* include catering, staffing, or all rentals.

Catering: This is a major separate component. Casa venues typically allow couples to bring in an external caterer from a preferred list or entirely open. Catering costs are usually per-person and cover food, beverage, and *their* catering staff.

External Vendors: Couples contract and manage *almost all other services* externally: ALL decor and design elements (crucial for enhancing the charming space), ALL florals, ALL lighting and sound (often requires specialized planning for the courtyards), ALL entertainment (bands, DJs), ALL specialty rentals (tables, chairs, linens, tableware *unless included in catering or Casa rental*), wedding cake, photography, videography, and an external planner.

Accommodation: Very limited or no on-site guest rooms available. Guests arrange their own accommodations off-site, primarily in hotels or rentals within Oaxaca City itself, which is highly convenient.

Additional Costs: Venue rental fee, Catering costs (per person), External Wedding Planner fees (essential), Costs for *all* contracted external vendors (often the majority of your budget), All rentals (tables, chairs, linens, etc., if not included in catering/venue package), Guest transportation *to and from* the Casa (optional but recommended for ease within the city), Potential fees for extending hours or specific usage, Permits, Insurance (if required), Personalized favors, Officiant, legal fees, Travel/accommodation for couple and vendors.

This structure provides a charming, private setting combined with city convenience, but requires couples (via their planner) to build the entire intimate event piece-by-piece by coordinating numerous external contracts.

    • Costs for *all* contracted external vendors (decor, florals, music, photography, videography, all rentals, lighting, sound).
    • Any upgrades to catering menu or beverage selection.
    • Their own travel and accommodation (including potentially any limited on-site rooms if used).

    • Wedding gifts.

Venue Capacity and Guest Accommodations (Casa Venue)

 

Casa Murguía Oaxaca City offers charming space suitable for smaller to medium-sized weddings:

Event Capacity: Comfortably hosts smaller to medium-sized weddings (e.g., 60 – 150 guests), utilizing its courtyards and potentially indoor/covered areas within the main house. The intimate spaces are well-suited for creating distinct areas for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, offering a cozy and personal feel.

Event Locations: Charming and versatile options typically include:

Courtyards (Patiós): Beautiful enclosed or open-air spaces with traditional architecture, perfect for ceremonies, cocktail hours, or reception dinner/dancing.

Indoor Areas / Salons: Potentially a main house or covered area that can serve as reception space, dance floor area, getting ready space, or backup for outdoor events.

Accommodations: Casa Murguía typically has very limited or no on-site guest rooms. This means the vast majority of guests will need to secure accommodation off-site, primarily in hotels or rentals within Oaxaca City itself, which is highly convenient due to the location.

 

Ceremony and Reception Logistics (Casa Murguía Layout)

 

Logistics involve coordinating guest flow through the Casa’s intimate courtyards and spaces, and managing external vendor setups within a city location:

Venue Navigation: Casa Murguía’s layout typically involves guests moving between various courtyards and indoor spaces via pathways. Coordinating flow between distinct areas (e.g., Ceremony in one courtyard, Cocktail in another, Dinner/Dancing in a main courtyard or covered area) is managed by the planner for guest guidance, accessibility, and vendor setup flow between distinct areas. Signage helps.

Vendor Access: Coordinated by the external planner with the Casa manager. Access might involve navigating pathways or specific service entrances within a city environment. Timelines for setup are crucial and must occur within the rental timeframe. Requires careful planning due to multiple setup areas.

Setup: External vendors handle setup of *all* their contracted items (decor, florals, catering stations, rentals, lighting, sound, entertainment stages). The Casa staff might handle basic items if included in the rental. High reliance on the planner for supervising and coordinating numerous vendor setups across the property.

Transportation: Highly convenient for guests due to the city location. Guests staying in Oaxaca City’s historic center can often walk to the Casa or take a very short taxi/ride-share. Airport transfers (OAX) to lodging in the city are standard (approx. 20-35 minutes). Pre-arranged shuttles are optional for convenience for specific groups or late-night departures, but not essential in the way they are for countryside venues.

Proximity to Airport: Convenient access to Oaxaca International Airport (OAX) via taxi or private transfer (approx. 20-35 minutes, depending on city traffic).

  • Use of basic Casa facilities (restrooms, pathways).

  • Basic support from the Casa Manager for property access and rules.

Backup Plan for Outdoor Ceremonies (Covered Areas/Salons)

 

Casa Murguía will have designated covered or indoor spaces as backup plans for outdoor elements:

Covered Courtyards / Indoor Salons: The Casa likely features one or more covered courtyards or indoor salon areas within its main building that can serve as beautiful and functional backup locations for the ceremony and/or parts of the reception in case of rain or unfavorable weather. These spaces are part of the Casa’s charm and should comfortably fit your expected guest count.

Backup options utilize the Casa’s existing architecture, providing necessary shelter and maintaining the charming ambiance.

Payment Terms and Cancellation Policies (Venue Fees)

 

Payment terms involve separate contracts for Casa rental and catering/vendors:

Venue Deposit: Required to secure Casa Murguía for your date and exclusive use. The size of the deposit can be a percentage of the rental fee or a fixed amount.

Venue Payment Schedule: Phased payments for the venue rental leading up to the event date, as specified in the contract.

Catering & Vendor Payments: Each caterer and external vendor will have their own separate payment schedule and deposit requirements, agreed upon directly with the couple/planner via individual contracts. Catering final payment is typically based on the guaranteed guest count.

Final Payment: Due shortly before the event (e.g., 30 days out) for the venue and potentially for catering based on final counts. Other vendors have their final payment terms.

Cancellation Policy: Cancellation policies for private venues like Casas and individual vendor contracts are usually strict. Expect loss of deposits and potentially escalating penalties closer to the date. Comprehensive wedding insurance is *highly recommended* to protect against unforeseen cancellations.

 

Coordination: Casa Manager vs. External Planner

 

Understanding the support system at a Casa venue:

Casa Murguía Manager/Coordinator: Your primary contact at the Casa. They manage all *venue-specific* aspects: ensuring access to the property during contracted hours, overseeing basic venue setup (if applicable), managing any included Casa staff (like basic cleaning during the event), addressing property-related issues (power, water, restrooms), and ensuring adherence to Casa rules (noise, hours, vendor policies). Their focus is the physical property itself and its basic functionality. They do *not* manage your overall event design, catering execution (unless mandatory in-house/exclusive), coordination of *any* external vendors, detailed timeline, guest logistics, or off-site planning.

External Wedding Planner: Provides personalized, comprehensive planning for the *entire event*, integrating seamlessly with the Casa’s spaces. This includes overall event design vision and execution (often critical for enhancing the charming setting), detailed budget management across numerous vendor contracts, sourcing and coordinating *all* external vendors (catering, florals, rentals, lighting, sound, music – which is a major task at a private venue), creating detailed timelines that coordinate all vendors and activities across the property’s different areas, managing guest logistics (accommodation typically off-site in the city, welcome bags, transportation to the venue), handling vendor contracts, and serves as the primary point person for everyone on the wedding day, troubleshooting issues and ensuring seamless execution from start to finish. *Highly recommended, often essential*, especially for destination weddings due to the complexity of managing multiple external elements at a private venue.

 

Dietary and Menu Restrictions (Catering Model)

 

Handled based on the Casa’s catering policy:

Catering: The catering policy at Casa Murguía dictates how food and beverage are handled. They typically allow couples to bring in an external caterer from a preferred list or entirely open. This caterer is responsible for all food preparation, service, and typically bar service and required staffing (servers, bartenders, kitchen crew) on-site at the Casa. Menu options and pricing are handled through the caterer’s contract. Choosing a caterer that complements the Casa’s charm is key.

Dietary Needs: Accommodating dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergies) is handled by the caterer you contract. Experienced wedding caterers are well-equipped to handle a variety of needs for groups with advance notice. Communicate all specific requirements and guest counts clearly to your caterer during the menu planning process.

 

Music and Entertainment Restrictions (Casa Policies)

 

Entertainment policies at a Casa venue typically balance creating a lively atmosphere with respecting the intimate setting and city neighbors:

Style: Accommodating to various forms of entertainment suitable for an intimate setting. Traditional Oaxacan music (like a Calenda band or Mariachi for procession/cocktail hour), smaller live bands, and DJs are common. Courtyards or designated indoor/covered areas provide spaces for different musical elements.

Curfews/Noise: As a private venue located within Oaxaca City, Casa Murguía will likely have noise restrictions or a required curfew (e.g., 12 AM or 1 AM) due to local regulations and proximity to residential neighbors. Amplified music might need to be contained within designated areas or cease by a specific hour. Discuss specific policies and desired music types/times with the Casa manager and your planner early on.

Vendor Policies: External entertainment vendors must comply with Casa Murguía’s rules regarding setup, sound levels in different areas, timing, power requirements, and use of space, especially considering the intimate and potentially sensitive nature of the property and neighbors. Your planner must coordinate this closely with the Casa.

 

Parking and Guest Logistics (Casa Murguía Location)

 

Logistics for a private venue in Oaxaca City involve convenient guest access from city accommodations and standard city transport options:

Airport Transfers: Guests arrange standard transport from OAX (approx. 20-35 minutes depending on city traffic) directly to their accommodation in Oaxaca City.

Accommodation: Guests stay off-site, primarily in hotels or rentals within Oaxaca City itself. The very limited or no on-site accommodation at the Casa means most guests will need to arrange their own stays in the city, which is easy given the abundance of options in the historic center.

Transport to Casa Murguía: Convenient for guests staying in the city. The Casa may be within walking distance from some areas or a very short taxi/ride-share away. Taxis and ride-shares are readily available. Pre-arranged shuttles are optional for convenience for specific groups or late-night departures within the city, but not essential in the way they are for countryside venues.

Internal Transport: Navigating within Casa Murguía involves moving through courtyards and indoor spaces. The layout is typically manageable but coordinating guest flow between distinct areas needs planning.

Parking: Private city venues may have limited on-site parking. Providing shuttles or clearly communicating nearby public parking options (if available) is important. Taxis/ride-shares are often the easiest option for guests.

Vendor Access: Coordinated load-in/out plan required for all external vendors with the Casa manager and planner, strictly within the venue rental timeframe and potentially with city access considerations. Access points need clear communication.

Splurge vs. Save

Save: Choose a date with a lower venue rental fee (e.g., weekday or off-season). Opt for a standard or more budget-friendly caterer. Minimize external rentals by utilizing any existing Casa items if possible, or choosing simpler, cost-effective rental options. Focus decor and florals on a few key impact areas (ceremony courtyard, main reception space). Select talented local musicians or a DJ within the Casa’s noise limits. Encourage guests to use readily available city taxis/ride-shares rather than providing shuttles.

Splurge: Secure a prime date for exclusive use. Choose a premium caterer with an elevated menu and service. Invest significantly in rentals to create a luxurious and custom look that complements the Casa’s charm (high-end furniture, specialty linens, unique tableware). Bring in extensive and skilled lighting production to highlight the architecture and create dramatic ambiance in the courtyards. Commission elaborate floral and decor installations throughout the event spaces. Hire high-demand live music or a DJ for extended performance (within curfew). Provide seamless, frequent, and comfortable shuttle services for all guests to/from multiple convenient points in Oaxaca City throughout the evening.

Three Practical Tips for Brides

 

Embrace the Casa’s Charm and City Convenience: Casa Murguía offers a beautiful traditional backdrop combined with easy city access. Work closely with your planner and design vendors to highlight the charming courtyards and architectural details. Leverage the prime location for guest convenience, noting that many activities and accommodations are within easy reach via walking, taxi, or ride-share.

Design is Key to Transforming the Space: While the Casa provides a beautiful base, transforming the courtyards and spaces to fit your specific vision is crucial. Invest in thoughtful lighting, rentals, and florals that complement the traditional setting while adding your personal touch. An experienced planner is essential for bringing this design vision to life across the distinct areas of the property.

Coordinate Seamlessly with the Casa Manager and External Vendors: A city Casa requires managing the property’s rules and logistics with the complexities of numerous external vendors (catering, decor, music, etc.). Your planner will be the crucial link, ensuring all vendor setups, timelines, and services integrate smoothly with the Casa’s operations, allowing you to focus on enjoying your day in this intimate city oasis.

Capturing the personal connections and the warm atmosphere created by the couple and their guests within this private city oasis is key.
