Amaze Your Guest with a Truly Unique Wedding Reception

April 29, 2010 by  
Filed under Wedding Reception

Finding a stunning unique wedding reception location is one aspect of your wedding theme. Since the wedding reception generally follows the theme established throughout the ceremony, invites etc, it is usually best to plan for the wedding and reception to follow the same general themed format, although this is not written in stone. Aim to make the reception a place to ‘let loose’, a place to bypass the formal setting often created in the ceremony.

Unique wedding receptions usually begin with an unusual, creative location. A drab and lackluster location for your reception, no matter how well it is decorated, will not ‘wow’ your guests. A unique setting will inspire you to create wonderful ideas, to ‘break out of the box’ and create something totally your own.

No matter where you choose to host your reception, there are essential details you need to look after when planning:

1. Weather / Environment – is the wedding reception inside or out?
2. Setup – Is this a non-traditional location? Will it have sufficient power for the entertainment? Adequate parking space for guests? Also consider distance – most guests do not want to drive into the deep woods to attend your reception.
3. Cleanup, setup – Most ‘traditional’ wedding reception venues have cleanup in place. Make sure to inquire about this when selecting the venue. Otherwise, you may need to draw on family and friends to help with this aspect.
4. Theme – Does the location fit the theme you have chosen for your wedding. Keep in mind, you do not need a theme for your wedding, but it does help to keep things on track.
5. Does the location invoke ‘wows’ from friends? Take a small group of friends to the location, and ask them what they think.

Truly Unique Wedding Reception Locations:

Corn field clearing. Now don’t laugh, I seen a stunning Western wedding theme done up perfectly in a cornfield clearing. Complete with rented gazebos, a fire pit and a Country band for entertainment, the event went off very well.

Sports Venue. Why not host your reception at your favorite sports venue, if you are a sport fan? Theme the reception with sport favors.

Building Top / High Rise. A wedding reception on the top of a city skyscraper can be both exhilarating and memorable, although this might be on the ‘pricy side’ depending on where you live.

More common wedding reception locations might include Barns, Gardens / Display Gardens, Ranches, Beaches. Since the wedding reception is only limited by your imagination, take the time to sit down and really brainstorm some great ideas. It will be well worth it in the end

Wedding Reception Ideas – Getting the Best for Your Bucks!

April 17, 2010 by  
Filed under Wedding Reception

Wedding receptions mean big money for businesses, across the globe. In fact many hotels and resorts exist solely to provide wedding parties with a range of luxury reception ideas and venues. Choosing a wedding reception venue can be a daunting procedure, as popular venues tend to get booked up quickly. In fact, it is not uncommon to find that a couple feel pressured into selecting any available time slot and not really getting the wedding reception that they first envisaged.

Types of Wedding Receptions

Timing plays an influential role in your choice of wedding reception. Not many people will want copious amounts of liquor and a disco at 9am in the morning! It is also important to consider the numbers and types of people that you are inviting as guests. If your party includes several small children, your choice of wedding reception is likely to be slightly different from an older generation wedding.

Wedding receptions do not need to take place in the evening; in fact, an early morning wedding is a cost effective and fun way of allowing you to have a gathering and still be able to enjoy the rest of the day, quietly. Similarly a lunchtime wedding reception may be a good choice if you have young children attending your day.

Wedding Reception Venues

Your choice of wedding reception venue largely depends on your budget and personal tastes. If you are having a smaller wedding, then why not have your reception at home? There are many companies that now offer catering and drinks facilities in your own home, at a fraction of hotel prices. So this can be a hassle-free and affordable way of having the wedding reception that you want in the comfort of your own home.

Before you approach any external venues, it is well worth consulting friends and family for personal recommendations. When you meet with the wedding reception staff be sure to have a clear idea of numbers, budget and services that you require. By asking all venues the same questions it will be easier to make a like for like comparison.

Food and Drink for the Wedding Reception

The key to success with selecting food and drink for a wedding reception is to keep it simple. Tastes vary dramatically and it will be very difficult to wow everyone, so just aim to please the majority of the guests! Of course, if you are having a small, intimate gathering, it may be possible to use a restaurant where everyone can make their own choices.

For a larger wedding reception, it is well worth asking, as part of your invitation, if anyone has any food allergies, this way you can make sure that there are no nasty surprises on the day!

Organising a wedding reception is not for the faint hearted, but it’s your day, so do it your way!
