Tips/Tools

The primary things you take with you from your reception are your pictures and your memories. Consider both the photographer and the setting of your pictures.
Honor yourself with an affair that enhances, rather than eclipses your own personality. Choose a style and location that will bring the focus to you and not the venue.
The reception in your honor should also consider your guests. It wouldn’t be much of a party without them. If you want to impress your guests, plan with consideration for your guests. Consider travel, time, convenience and comfort.
Your wedding is a day to be remembered. Don’t get personally caught up in planning a thousand details; focus on the relationships and the significance of the event
New church houses are being constructed with the dignity of weddings in their design. They are beautifully finished and well planned for large groups. The old bias against “getting married on a basketball court” is gone.
If the wedding is at your local church, consider hiring a decorating service. They are experienced in the details that provide for a comfortable atmosphere. A professional decorator will relieve you of the stress involved in preparing a hall for a reception. With one phone call you can have it done. In addition to relieving you of stress and labor before the event, a decorator will become your best friend after the event. They will bring in an experienced crew that can have your decorations removed in 30 minutes to an hour. You will be tired after the event. You will appreciate the service.
