Wedding Reception Planning

Receptions can be best part of the wedding and, believe it or not, it can be fun planning them too. Here are some ideas to make your wedding reception planning go smoothly.

This is the most fun part of the wedding and believe it or not, it can be great fun planning it, too. Here are some ideas to make your wedding reception planning go smoothly:
  1. Before selecting a location for the reception, be sure to visit it in person. Do not just look at pictures or ads. If you like the look of the location, get information on possible menus and prices. Venues are usually a little cheaper if you reserve them on a Friday or Sunday as Saturday is the busy day for weddings. Ask if there is a way you can taste the food before you sign a contract. There is nothing more embarrassing for the bride and groom then to have bad food served to their guests.

    Reception venues book fast in the busy seasons. To be on the safe side, book your location at least one year in advance. Find out who supplies centerpieces and/or the wedding cake and also ask about coming early to decorate with balloons and streamers. Once you sign the contract, you will no doubt have to put down a deposit. If it's at all possible, try to pay the balance before the wedding day. This gives you one less thing to do on that very busy day.

  2. You also need to arrange for music for the reception. There should be dinner music softly playing while the guests are eating. Later, after dinner, is your band or DJ. As with the hall, shop for the music well in advance of the wedding. If you choose a band, make sure you listen to their music and see a picture of them. If you have special songs that you want played, make sure the band receives a list of the songs well in advance of your wedding date. A couple of weeks before the wedding, check back with the band or DJ to make sure they are prepared to play or perform the list of songs.
