The Wedding Receptions

12 months before - Book your wedding day and evening receptions.

 

Type of Reception

Decide on whether your reception is to be a wedding breakfast which is a sit down lunch following a morning wedding or a traditional afternoon lunch which follows an afternoon wedding.  Sometimes a couple cannot afford to feed everyone they would like to at a sit down lunch and so an evening reception is also organised with a buffet.

 

Venue

When looking at the venue take into consideration when the wedding date is with regards to whether it is a popular date in which case you will need to organise well in advance.  When looking at the time of the receptions make sure the venue does not have restrictions on the alcohol license. There may also be limits on how late the music is allowed to play.

 

Top Table

When organising the top table take into considerations couples that have divorced and re-married where tradiotonal seating is difficult to implement and if all else fails try circular tables with the bride & groom,  bridesmaids and best man sat in between each estranged couple.  All the other guests are sat in circular tables around the main circular ‘top’ table.

 

Entertainment

Evening entertainment generally consists of a disco or band allowing people to get up and dance at their leisure or sit and chat after a long day.  This is great if you have lots of guests arriving in the evening.

 

Local Amenities

If you are trying to keep to a budget then check out all of the local amenities like church halls and British Legions.  These can be brightened up considerably with decorations especially if there is a themed wedding.

 

Two to three months before the wedding make sure you have confirmed all venues in writing.

 

Two to three weeks before the wedding confirm any last minute details.
