Choosing who you will invite to your wedding can be difficult, particularly if you want to keep your gathering on the small side. You and your partner will have plenty of people you wish to invite, and you can also have people your parents want to include. There are several things you should consider before you commit to a “final” list of people to invite. Beyond simply reviewing the list to confirm that everyone you wish to invite is on your list, think about how many people should have plus-ones, and whether you should let guests bring their kids. You should also make sure you are prepared for everyone on your list to attend. While this is not likely, it is something you should be ready to accommodate. (more…)

After becoming engaged, you and your partner can have a great time informing your family members and closest friends of the news. When you are done revealing your new relationship status to the people in your life, you can confront an important task – actually planning your wedding! Different couples need different timelines for planning, simply because engagement periods vary. For many, the engagement can last around one year, but longer and shorter spans are not uncommon. With that said, no matter how long or short your engagement period is, you benefit from establishing a timeline of tasks early in your wedding planning efforts. Important steps like selecting a date and finding the right wedding venue will help you determine how long you have. Our venue can make planning easier after this step by offering generous amenities, and by providing contact information for experienced vendors! (more…)

Your wedding reception is about more than just the meal you serve your guests. However, that meal is certainly an important part of the evening! Providing food and refreshments is part of hosting, but it also shows gratitude to your friends and family members who came to support your commitment to your partner. This second part of your wedding should feel like a natural continuation from your ceremony. In other words, you should strive to maintain the same theme and level of formality between both halves of your celebration. While you can make a wide array of choices regarding your food and serving style, make sure the meal feels as formal and inviting as the ceremony you plan to host. (more…)

Your officiant for your wedding ceremony sets the tone for your gathering, and ensures that everything proceeds properly. While hired officiants remain popular, this is a role that many couples fill with a close friend or family member. You should give your choice to hire someone or ask someone in your life serious thought. A professional brings experience to the role, which means they can offer guidance and take control if something unexpected happens during the event. However, someone you are personally connected to will be able to speak about you, your partner, and your relationship in a more meaningful and familiar way. (more…)

There are certain early decisions to make regarding your wedding that will impact many of your choices at a later time. One important early choice is what colors to showcase at your event.

Because of this, you should try to select your colors early. Selecting your colors and your wedding theme at around the same time will help you capture a real vision for your celebration, something that makes later choices easier. (more…)
