It is sometimes forgotten that weddings are actually about the couple! Their love and commitment to each other and also THEIR preferred way to celebrate THEIR big day can often take a backseat. It can all become a bit stressful along the way however, as everyone offers their opinions and all kinds of family dynamics have to be considered. However we do know that most brides and grooms DO want their friends and family to enjoy their wedding so we put together a quick list of simple things that will keep your guests happy at your wedding.
Accommodation Options
We all want to stay at the Four Seasons, but some of us would also like to eat something other than beans for the rest of the month after your wedding! Give your wedding revellers accommodation options at different price rates to keep them happy and debt-free.
Minimal Ceremony to Reception Time
Any distance more than an hour between ceremony location and the reception might throw up a few problems ie your guests picking a watering hole en route and missing half of your carefully planned reception or turning up three sheets to the wind. Keeping the journey short will help your day flow and also keep your guests happy.
Good Music
After the ceremony we think the music is THE most important element to a GREAT wedding. Dancing guests are happy guests.
Good Food
Wedding food doesn’t need to be fancy, but it should definitely be three things: warm, plentiful and flavorful. And if you feed your dance floor warriors in the wee hours you will be a HERO!
Short Speeches
We overheard a great comment about wedding speeches ‘anything longer than a glass of wine is too long’. This sums it up for us. Move it along people – there’s dancing to be done!
Hope these 5 quick tips are helpful! Happy planning from The Bentley Boys!
