AFFORDABLE ELEGANT PHILADELPHIA WEDDINGS!
THROWING A MEMORABLE WEDDING IN PHILLY ON A BUDGET!
Wedding season in Philadelphia officially starts in May! And,
June is traditionally the busiest wedding month in the City of Brotherly Love.
If statistics stay true to form, more couples are going to tie the knot in
Philadelphia during these coming few summer months than during the whole rest of the
year combined. A wedding is a wedding is a wedding; but your wedding is your
special day and you want your wedding to stand out and be fondly remembered for
years to come! That requires planning!...And MORE PLANNING!
A Philadelphia Wedding is expected to have flair and
personality while also representing your bond and the serious commitment you
are making to your new partner in life. You two are taking a big step, giving
up the single lifestyle and replacing it with a serious partnership. You are
choosing to share this step with your friends, family, neighbors and associates
by throwing a huge celebration! You wish to show off how happy you are and you
wish everyone to share in your excitement. Let us make no bones about it;
Planning a wedding is no walk in the park! To be sure your special day doesn’t
turn out to be one of those boring, dragged out weddings we all dread takes
pre-thought and proper orchestration! Luckily PHILADELPHIA CATERING BLOG has
your back with some fantastic wedding planning advice!...
Here are ten important tips compiled by Philadelphia’s
Wedding Catering Experts of the Philadelphia area for throwing an enjoyable,
meaningful and successful wedding, Philly Style!
1. First
and foremost, always remember your wedding is a party! No matter how elegant
and sophisticated you make the proceedings the ultimate success will be gaged
by whether your guests have fun not by whether you serve lobster and caviar.
So, circulate, mingle, smile, laugh and make everyone feel welcome and
important!
2. The
idea is not to try to impress your guests at every turn but to create a meal
and an itinerary that progresses naturally comfortably and logically from step
to step and course to course. The food and beverages should match the
festivities, the ambiance of your wedding hall, the type of music and your
guest mix. Everything should work together to put people at ease so they can
let loose!
3. Weddings
are a gathering assortment of many people types, ages, religions and cultures.
Therefore your activities and the structure of your wedding must be
multifaceted so there is something for everyone. The main stages of the party
must appeal to everyone, never favoring any one group for long. Like wise your
menu must include meal courses that everyone finds appetizing. Kids, adults, grandparents,
neighbors and guests flying in from far away; all must be satisfied! There are
bound to be a few food allergy guests so it is not wise to serve dishes that
are hard to tell at a glance what the ingredients are. Plus, always plan a few
vegetarian options!
4. Make
sure your wedding rooms are large enough for your crowds but not too large that
people don’t mingle. You want people to have enough room to be comfortable but
not too much empty space that they do not mix, play and bond. A safe rule is
you need to allow for at least 25 square feet for every guest but not much more
than 30-33 feet.
5. Need
to save money? Consider booking your Wedding for a Friday or Sunday and you
should be able to save 20-30 percent compared to a Saturday ‘prime time’
wedding. But be sure to check that there is not a convention in town on your
weekend that could bump the price of hotel rooms up and make it difficult for
your traveling guests to book reasonably priced rooms.
6. First
thing is first so, make sure you book your wedding space for your preferred
wedding date before you start hiring and signing contracts with bands,
florists, caterers and limousine services.
7. Get
everything vendors say they will do in writing especially any extras you
bargain for. It may be a few months before your wedding date arrives and
vendors are known to conveniently forget things they promised you months ago to
close the deal.
8. Make
sure you book ample time for your vendors to be able to set up and decorate. If
possible negotiate access to the party and dining rooms the night before or at
least a few hours in advance.
9. Another
way to cut costs is to throw an adult only wedding which will lower your head
count considerably. It has become quite acceptable to prohibit single people
from being allowed to bring dates. Just make sure to sit singles at single tables
and married couples with other married couples, usually around the same age
bracket works best.
10. Remember
it is your wedding. You are the stars! Sure you want your guests to be
comfortable, happy and enjoy themselves, but you and your new spouse need to
soak in the love of some special moments too! Be sure to allow some special
time for yourselves as a couple and savor your big day! The most important
thing is to lighten up so the two of you can have fun!
