Villa Ragusa is happy to share the fact that we give discounts when you book during our slow times. We have no reason to hide this fact. If you choose those dates, you’ll rent them and we won’t run the risk of having no one in that space for this slow time on the calendar.
How to Get An Event Space Cheaper
Our busiest seasons are the wedding seasons in the spring and early summer and November and December which are booked tightly for private holiday parties and company parties for the winter holidays. It is during these times that our spaces go for a premium price.
Get Room Discounts
If you want to book the spaces at Villa Ragusa at a better price, you need to use our slow times to book your event. So, plan your event for a Wednesday & Thursday, instead of Saturday and Sunday. You’ll save quite a bit!
Catering Choices
Villa Ragusa has a full time kitchen that creates the meals for events held in our building. We do allow outside catering, as well, should you want to use your own favorite caterer. However, you’ll probably get a much better deal by using our in-house catering and the food will still be flavorful, delightfully appealing, and well-presented.
Go Cozy Not Spacious
Not only is a smaller room going to cost less than a big room, but you’ll have a better outcome if people are close together. When there is a lot of empty space in the room your guests will keep to themselves and not socialize. When there is very little empty space your guests will talk to others, participate more, and have a wonderful time. So, understand not everyone is going to show up and pick a room that’s a little smaller than you think you need.
We are Happy to Assist
When it is time to book a room for your event, give us a call and discuss it. We sometimes have rooms available right away. Contact us today and we’ll give you some tips on booking your event with a lower cost.
Company Party, Event Planning, Event Venue, Social Hall
Everyone wants to throw the party that the guests will remember for a lifetime! One of the best ways to be that party host is to make sure there are plenty of fun things to do and great entertainment at your event.
Make Your Party Memorable
Of course, the best way to have a party that no one would forget is to have a very famous celebrity show up and party all night long with your guests. Most people aren’t able to provide such a person, so here’s are some ideas that don’t require having Brad Pitt as your best buddy.
Fortune Teller
Fortune tellers have been popular for ages. A person’s curiosity for what may come is endless, so everyone wants their fortune told. Maybe it’s for real! Maybe it is just for fun. But we all want to believe all the good things they hear will come to pass.
A Game of Charades
The funny thing about Charades is that is just as fun to watch people play it as it is to play it yourself! So, even if only 20 people want to play it is still fun for everyone!
Live Music
Most people expect your party to have music. You can hire a local tribute band or just a talented DJ. Villa Ragusa can provide a dance floor if you’re planning on dancing.
Famous Character Entertainers
It goes without saying that your son’s birthday party would be a huge hit if Spiderman showed up! And everyone would squeal with delight if Captain Jack Sparrow stumbled in after a little too much rum.
Villa Ragusa Social Hall
Whether you need to hold a banquet, a private engagement party or a big family reunion, Villa Ragusa’s staff is here to help you make a memorable great time. Ask for a consultation.

Slash the Cost of Wedding Invitations
Most couples would be wise to stretch the budget along for getting more for less! And wedding invitations are where you should begin slashing costs.
Do you need to pay $1200 for 100 invites? No!
Here are ways you can get it under $500.
First, let’s talk printing. You do not have to use a wedding invitation service to have beautiful invitations. You can use a standard printer and get better quality paper and printing. Plus you can do anything you want for you designs!

You’re not a graphic designer? No problem. You can have a pro design your wedding invitations very inexpensively! Beautiful designs created just for you. Costs? There are far below $100. Some of the Fiverr designers will includes lots of other designs along with your invitations like seating cards, thank you cards, etc. Be sure to tell them you need the source files.

In an age of cookie-cutter affairs, injecting personalization into your next function moves the needle from ho-hum to extraordinary. The trick is in making your guests feel special.
Applying custom details with attendees in mind makes them feel warmly recognized as individuals, not faceless corporate drones simply filling seats. Little customized accents also elevate perceived event exclusivity and thoughtfulness.
Set the Tone Through Little Touches
Kick your affair off on an intimately personalized note before guests even walk through the door. Extend uniquely warm digital invites complete with name etchings.
Print up stylized name cards or place tags delivering that “wow” factor up front. The name tags help move the conversations in the group because they know how to refer to each other.
Indulge Attendee Preferences
Get granular accommodating individual guest preferences to make everyone feel special, not just the VIPs. Note favorite hors d’oeuvres and pour favored libations unprompted. Customizing menus around personal tastes and restrictions prevents exclusions.
Surprise & Delight Moments
Look for opportune moments during mingling to thoughtfully impress through hyper-personalization. Casually address special life events or interests paying dividends conversationally. Consider props like a slideshow of old photos tailored per table sprinkled throughout meals.
Lasting Parting Gifts
Send guests floating towards exits with meaningful personalized mementos evoking your event fondly for years. Monogrammed goodie bags come standard – but ratchet things up gifting custom art pieces celebrating individuals’ hobbies uniquely.
The Power of Post-Event Surveys
Solicit pointed feedback around what personalized touches attendees loved most alongside any new ideas. This cements your commitment to keeping things intimate while continuously elevating affairs around desires.
Sprinkling in personalization demonstrates you’re throwing more than just another corporate mixer. Guests want to feel special too, not like another bottom-line business calculation. What details could you incorporate?

An unforgettable event deserves an unforgettable afterglow where visual mementos let you recount laughs, tears, and magic moments for decades on end.
But capturing a Villa Ragusa affair’s essence on film requires creative instincts honed from years behind the lens. Not just anyone can pull it off!
You want someone that captures the emotions, colors, atmosphere, and everything else that tells the story better of how you had the best time. So, how do you pick the best candidate that captures the best moments of your event?
Review Extensive Wedding Portfolios
The quickest way to get the most fitting candidates is through recommendations. Ask your friends, contacts, or even our event organizers for professionals who did a wonderful job.
Then vet potential photographers packing extensive wedding experience. These nuptial celebrations share similar documentary demands as landmark corporate or social gatherings.
Study their styled shots conveying the emotional candor and scene-setting flair you crave. Meet to relay your event’s feel, then assess if they articulate an aligned artistic vision.
Gauge Storytelling Prowess
Poring over sterile product images and Facebook smiles proves insufficient. Examine photographer video montages through fresh eyes – could a highlight reel of random birthday party moments bring you to tears?
If not, pass. Skilled shooters spotlight sentimentality with enough context for impact. Judge the potency of their storytelling capacity.
Ask About Backup Plans
Between faulty memory cards, depleted batteries, or equipment mishaps, snafus needs contingency plans to avoid forever losing priceless team photos some CEO spent months organizing.
Quiz photographers on specific backup devices, dual camera usage, and assistant redundancy. Accept nothing less than assurance that no shot shall go uncaptured or die digitally.
If checking all boxes seems doubtful in photography, consider splitting duties between area specialists in stills and video to play to their respective creative strengths. Just confirm cooperation and willingness to avoid any territorial conflicts marring your memories!
Villa Ragusa provides a picturesque canvas – now render it a visual masterpiece for the ages with photography ringing true to your moment’s significance!
