The Right Venue

A wedding reception venue needs to encompass the right features in order to make it a great choice. Not only should it be aesthetically appealing, but it should have plenty of room for your guests, ample room for eating, a designated dance floor, good acoustics, a great location, plenty of lighting, special effects, as well as plenty of parking.

Decor
The decor will matter just as much at your wedding reception as it does for your ceremony. You should opt for a reception venue that offers plenty of solutions for decor. This includes several color choices in the table and chair linens, proper lighting, matching china and silverware, etc. Your wedding reception decor should be a continuation of what your guests saw at the ceremony. You should focus on each element from the type of centerpiece you’ll choose to the details on the favors to make your reception unique.

Entertainment
What’s a party without entertainment? You should start looking for options well in advance. Music is a huge part of your wedding reception entertainment. You’ll want to hire a DJ or a wedding band to entertain you and your guests. Some couples also decide to hire entertainment for fun including dancers, mascots, magicians, and all kinds of performers or personalities. You’ll want to think about how to incorporate your entertainment choices with the usual flow of events including your first dance, parent dances, toasts or speeches, bouquet/garter tosses, cake cutting, and of course partying/dancing.

A great wedding reception starts with the right venue and team of experts working to make your day magical. Once you’ve found that, incorporate elements like tasty food and drinks, beautiful decor, and tons of entertainment. If you can manage that, your wedding reception will be one for the books.
