You've visited a lot of potential wedding venues, and the private estate you're considering for your Big Day has it all: it's gorgeous, romantic, and, of course, totally private—truly your dream location!

Here are some of the additional things a private estate wedding often requires:
- Rentals beyond cutlery, china and glassware. You may have to rent just about everything, including tables, chairs, couches, umbrellas, bars, a dance floor—even rugs and posh portable restrooms.
- Valet parking or shuttle service for guests, depending on the venue's accessibility, layout and the owners' preferences.
- Generators to power the entire event or be available as backup. Either way, make sure they're quiet.
- Security guards. You'll need them to keep out the public, gatecrashers, and the paparazzi. Property owners also require them for protection of their possessions.
- Permits. Upscale communities frequently have restrictions on hosting events (where and how many are allowed, noise, parking, etc.) and require permits to help control them.
- A tent in case of bad weather.
- Insurance. Most private estates require a certificate of property and liability insurance.
