Setting the Tone for Your Wedding Ceremony: Essential Tips ✨

Crafting the perfect tone for your wedding ceremony is key to creating an unforgettable celebration. Here’s how to ensure your day is perfect:

2. Clear Communication: Make sure your invitations and wedding website convey important details like dress code and schedule, so guests feel informed and at ease.

We know you want your wedding to be unforgettable and for your guests to have the best time ever! So how do you make it memorable? Here are 4 tips for enhancing the guest experience at your wedding. This is time-tested advice from the weddings we host, and following these simple tips will ensure everyone has a great time.

1️⃣ Delicious Catering: Keep your guests happy and satisfied with plenty of high-quality food throughout your event. From appetizers to main courses and late-night snacks, make sure delicious bites are always within reach. Pair hors d'oeuvres with signature cocktails for an elevated experience. No one should have to search for food—it should be readily available and easy to enjoy.

2️⃣ Entertainment: Keep guests entertained with interactive experiences like photo booths, lawn games, or a Polaroid guestbook. A skilled DJ is crucial for reading the room, adjusting music to maintain energy, and keeping the dance floor lively. Consider a first look to streamline celebrations and avoid extended photo sessions.

3️⃣ Get Personal: Personalize your wedding with one standout element—whether it's a brunch dinner, dance lessons, caricature artist, themed photo booths, or a favorite food truck. These unique touches create unforgettable moments that reflect your relationship's uniqueness.

4️⃣ Consider Comfort: Prioritize guest comfort by planning for weather conditions and seating needs. Offer shade and hydration for hot days, and warmth or cover for cooler or rainy weather.

🌿✨ Yesterday was pure magic! ❤️

We were thrilled to bring Aimee and Frank’s garden wedding dreams to life with a stunning photo shoot in Abigail's Garden. Their early June wedding was beautiful, but rain kept them from capturing the lush garden photos they had envisioned. So, we were overjoyed to offer them a special newlywed session.

Dressed in their wedding attire and with a gorgeous bouquet by Jodi Iverson, they finally got to experience the vibrant garden backdrop they’d always dreamed of. 💐

We can’t stop smiling after reading this sweet feedback from one of our recent couples:

"One constant positive feedback we get from the wedding is how abundant, beautiful, and delicious the food was. We’ve had a few people ask if you cater for other events. It’s a memory we like to reflect on often… how happy and well-fed all our guests were (and there were 220 guests, so it was no small feat)!"
