- The ceremony itself is the most important. You want to remember it for a lifetime, so be sure to include memorable moments, such as unity candle ceremony or a handfasting. The ceremony won’t last long, but will be remembered forever.
- The wedding food. This can make or break your wedding day. Do food tastings, even if it is not an expensive 3- course meal. No matter what you serve to your guests, make sure it is suitable for the most important day of your life, so far.
- Drinks. No matter whether you are going to serve alcoholic beverages or not, make sure you have enough. Provide enough hydration to go around. If you want to serve alcohol but it is too expensive, offer a cash bar. People understand that everything is pricey these days, and they won’t mind paying if they want to enjoy a drink.
- Music. Oh so important. This sets the mood for the whole event. A band is a great idea, or even a DJ. Please do your research before hiring someone. Make sure that they know your vibe, and will play what you want to hear. Give them a playlist and see if they can provide whatever type of music that you are into.
- Last but definitely not least is a banging dance floor. Smaller is better for this. People seem to be intimidated by large empty spaces and don’t want to draw attention to themselves. Make it small and it will be buzzing.
