Some Of The Most Overlooked Details During A Wedding Reception Ohio

By Marjorie Richards


The big day comes after much anticipation. You hope your ceremony will be beautiful and the wedding reception Ohio becomes glorious. It takes planning, usually with a professional coordinator. Details are the last thing on your mind and should be left to someone else. You want reliability and no stone left unturned. In essence, attending to all the little things will make or break the day.

Take food for example. Are you considering food allergies? Are you therefore offering a choice of entree to suit every taste? If you elect to have a buffet, do you remember to label each dish so people with allergies can avoid them? Attention to everything is required for the reception, just as much as for the ceremony itself.

Check food availability for the suppliers. Remember that the headcount you have requested to the caterer must include your suppliers as well. Although 150 heads is the standard headcount, the truth is, you cannot have all 150 as guests. The bride and groom are included in this count. If you include them in the headcount, it will be very expensive. Solicit the help of a friend who loves to cook for this task. Packed lunches are great for them because they are portable and filling as well.

Photos capture the heart of the event and you will want to take plenty both during the ceremony and the reception. You will want candid and posed shots and each and every guest. A good photographer will make the rounds and include everyone. If there is someone special, let them know in advance so they won't be missed. It is too late at the end of the reception.

Music adds mood and glee to the reception so choose well. If you have live music, great. If it is a DJ, offer a play list. He will check the sound system ahead of time to make sure everything goes well. Plan a special song for your wedding dance and practice the steps. Don't wait until the last minute and panic.

Many couples use a host to greet guests and introduce speeches. A good one can set the tone of the party, so choose well. The person should have a congenial personality and not be too intrusive. They will be responsible for introducing the wedding party so they must know the names. People like to socialize during a wedding so keep the program to a minimum. You will create it together with the host so it is just right and represents you appropriately. Be leery of someone who tells corny jokes.

As the bride, you will not want to forget the details, so heed the advice of your planner. They will no doubt tell you to bring a small handbag for essential touch up items you will need through the day. Bring a hankie, too, for those tears of joy. You may carry money for staff tips as well. Don't set it down and forget it.

Finally, a change of shoes is often a welcome relief for the bride's tired feet. There are portable slip ons that fit in a bag. You will be greeting guests, dancing, and generally out and about so pack in advance when your mind is clear. There are many more details that must be taken into consideration. Use the skills of your coordinator to ensure a fine day.
