Here are a few ceremony tips for your special day!!

✨Consider the timing of your ceremony—plan it around golden hour to capture that dreamy, romantic lighting for your photos.

✨Keep your guests comfort in mind by offering water stations or shade if it’s a warmer day. The more comfortable your guests are, the more they can enjoy every moment with you.

✨Personalize your ceremony space to reflect your love story. Whether it’s adding custom signage, unique florals, or even incorporating elements that showcase your beachside location, these little touches make your ceremony feel like you.

✨A rehearsal is a MUST! Practicing entrances, exits, and timing ensures everything flows seamlessly when it’s time to say “I do.”

Your rehearsal is the perfect time to make sure everything flows smoothly for your big day! 💍

Here are 7 essential things to practice so you can walk down the aisle with confidence:

✨ Processional order - Who’s walking, when, and with whom?
✨ Timing the walk - Practice the pace so it’s not too fast or slow.
✨ Vows & ring exchange - Rehearse those special words and how you’ll exchange rings.
✨ Microphone & officiant placement - Make sure microphone is positioned where guests can hear well and have a cue for officiant to move out of the way for first kiss photos.
✨ Recessional – Practice walking back down the aisle as newlyweds!
✨ Cue for music - Make sure your cues for each song are perfect.
✨ Bridal party placement - Ensure everyone knows where to stand for those picture-perfect moments.

The more prepared you are, the more relaxed you’ll feel. Rehearsing these details will make your wedding day at The Grand 721 as smooth and magical as you’ve dreamed! 🌸

Every bride deserves a peaceful, joyful morning as she prepares for one of the most memorable moments of her life. 💍

Here is what she really needs on the morning of her wedding day:

✨ Set the vibe: help turn her pre-wedding jitters into excitement! Get her favorite party playlist going, keep her drink refreshed, and remind her how thrilled you are to be by her side for this special moment

✨ Don’t forget breakfast! Keeping the bride nourished and hydrated is key to calming pre-ceremony jitters and making sure she feels her best at the altar

✨ Set up a glam schedule so nobody feels rushed while getting ready! Keep the dress covered until she’s ready to slip it on, and most importantly, make sure she takes a bathroom break before putting it on!

✨ Before you head out, do a final check: Is all jewelry on? The veil placed properly? Teeth clear of lipstick? And don’t forget a spritz of her favorite perfume!

✨ Allow her a few moments to catch her breath before heading out. Hold her hands, take a deep breath, and remind her that she’s got this!

At The Grand 721, our venue provides a peaceful retreat before the whirlwind of the day begins, ensuring you’re surrounded by nature and tranquility.

Before you say ‘yes’ to the venue, make sure you’re asking the right questions to ensure it’s the perfect fit for your big day! 💍 Here are five important questions to ask before booking your dream venue:

✨ What’s included in the rental fee?
Always clarify what’s part of the package and what might come at an additional cost.

✨ What’s the guest capacity?
Make sure the venue can comfortably accommodate your guest list without feeling too cramped or too spacious.

✨ Do you offer indoor and outdoor options?
Florida weather can be unpredictable, so having the flexibility of both indoor and outdoor spaces is key.

✨ What are the rules on vendors?
Some venues have preferred vendor lists, while others give you more flexibility. Make sure their vendor policy aligns with your vision.

✨ What are the available dates?
Make sure the venue is available for your desired date or season!

At The Grand 721, we’re here to answer all your questions and provide the perfect mix of elegance and rustic charm for your wedding day. Let’s make your wedding dreams a reality! 🤍

The sweetest trend we’re loving right now?!🍊

Using fresh fruits as decor and centerpieces! From vibrant citrus pops to lush grape accents, fruit adds a playful, colorful touch to any wedding!

Did you know that The Grand 721 was New Smyrna Beach’s original citrus packing venue?!

From 1918 until 1940, all of the Groves in Central Florida would bring their oranges and fruits to our packing facility to be packaged and shipped all over the United States.

Would you want to add some fruit decor on your wedding day?!
