USE THE 5 STEPS BELOW TO HELP GUIDE YOU THRU THE INFORMATION GATHERING PROCESS.

The venue you select for a Celebration of Life or Memorial Venue is an important decision for the loved ones of the deceased. Often the deceased has already mentioned a venue, or it may be a reflection of the loved ones, passions, interests, or personality. Chez Shari provides a setting where your guests will immediately arrive to a relaxed atmosphere where friends and family can mingle and catch-up.  You will greet your guests in a very relaxed atmosphere as they arrive with a beautiful setting including a beautiful patio and lounge area that faces the golf course and overlooks the 18 hole.


One of the hardest things to do is estimate how many will attend this Celebration.  We have a formula we use to help determine how many might attend:

First, if everybody in your family got together for the holidays how many might show up.  This will give you an idea of how many family members will attend.

Second, did they recently have a milestone birthday, like an 80th birthday.  This will give you a good idea of close family and friends.

Third, were they a member of any social clubs or a public figure.  This gives you an idea of how many might attend outside of close family and friends.

Fourth, the hardest one of all to guess is how your loved one affected people around them.  For example, were they the cool mom on the block that all of the neighborhood kids liked or did they coach sports.  Also in the category are your friends that come to support you.

Finally, if you take all of these things in to account you get make a good guess as to how many might attend.

A pristine, beautifully landscaped golf course provides a splendid backdrop for one of the most important days of your life.

We are dedicated to helping you create a Celebration of Life event.

While a champagne and cider toast is elegant, letting guests toast with what they have in front of them can save you a significant amount of money. Especially if you only have one or two people giving toasts. Will you have a cake that needs cutting or will you have a dessert bar with lots of choices. We find that guests love having the choices available to them from a dessert bar. It doesn't have to be extravagant or contain lots of pieces, one to two pieces per guest is generally more than enough. There tends to be a lot less leftover with a dessert bar than a cake. Do you want a no host bar, guests buy their own drinks, or do you want to host all or part of the bar. A no host bar is included in the fees for using Chez Shari.
