wedding reception ideas for choosing reception halls Selecting the ceremony site is one of the most important selections since, after all, the ceremony IS the wedding, right? Without the ceremony there is no reason for receptions. If you haven’t selected the ceremony site, get that attended to and then move on to choosing the banquet facilities. Be sure to start shopping as early as possible to
years is typically suggested.
When in the market for perfect reception halls think about budget, of course, but also the personalities of the bride and groom. Some of the best wedding reception ideas come straight from the bride's imagination. Once you have an idea of the type of reception hall for you, locate a series of reception sites meeting your criteria and visit them. Here are some issues to ponder when interviewing prospective managers of banquet facilities in your area.
fees, please.– Banquet facilities often have wedding packages with lots of options. Be sure to ask about what’s included and get it all in a written contract.
save the date – Be sure the reception hall has your wedding date and time available. Does the time open coordinate with the ending time of the ceremony? (Don’t leave guests waiting for hours between events) Ask if your wedding will be the only wedding or if you’ll be sharing the hall with other brides.
paper policy – Again, ask about contracts. What is your refund policy and is it spelled out in the contract? Before you plunk down that hard earned deposit be sure this is ‘your place”.
catering – Will the reception hall provide catering/food? Seems like a no-brainer, however, some reception halls like local Elks’ Club halls, for example, do not provide a kitchen staff. If an outside caterer will be employed, is there an additional charge to use the kitchen? And, speaking of food, will you expect formal, served meals, cocktail style service or banquet buffet? Will the wedding cake be provided?
capacity – How many guests can the banquet hall seat? Do
capacity?
beverages – Open bar or semi-open bar with a limited variety of alcoholic and soft beverages? No cash bars, please! Never ask your guests to bring the party. Proper banquet facilities will steer you in the right direction by suggesting ways to cut the bar cost without being tacky.
bathroomsidea about reception hall and kitchen cleanliness. If you wouldn’t use the bathroom, chances are you may not want to eat from the kitchen.
bridal suite – Does the reception hall provide bridal suite for you and your bridesmaids? Is it big enough?
wedding garden – Does the reception hall provide an outside garden for photography?
valet parking – Do they have valet parking available for your guests?
closing time – Be sure you know the policy for closing time. It would be sad to hire entertainment for possible overtime if the facility will not or cannot remain open.
Many banquet facilities and reception halls provide references but asking people you know will yield more personal responses. Obviously, one
Your friends and family know your taste and will likely be able to tell you if they think the venue is right for you. If the hall provides regular dinner service or has public events where you can dine, be sure to try out the food and the service as a guest. Doing so will allow you to see a real event in action and not just a personal show for you at an off-hour.
– have fun selecting banquet facilities. Enjoy the
during the planning, you will get to see how well you and your partner really work together, make decisions and problem solve as a team.

working with a wedding hairstylistA bad hair day on your wedding day is simply not an option, so seek professional help. You may be lucky enough to have a hairstylist who you trust completely, who knows your hair better than anyone else and can create your dream wedding hairstyle. If you don’t, well, you’ll simply need do some research. Ask other brides whose hairstyles you’ve admired. Check with your bridal salon. Once you’ve garnered a list of options, it’s time to set up consultations: the only way to determine if a hair stylist is right for you. Skip this step and your wedding look may be more hair-raising than head-turning. Before you commit to anything, you've got a few questions to ask.
Does she have a portfolio or photos of her work that you can take a look at? Does she have a list of references you can call? (Other brides she has worked with will be able to give you the inside scoop on stuff like promptness, attitude, and professionalism.)
Do you want her to come to you on your wedding day or would you rather go to the salon? If you aren't going to the salon, will she bring her own equipment -- blow dryers, styling tools, and other necessities -- or will you be responsible for supplying your own? Will she only do you hair or the bridal party’s as well? Do you want her to come and stay with you throughout the day to do touch-ups before the photo session and the ceremony? How does she charge -- by the hour, or by the head? How many weddings does she do in one day? (Will yours be the only one, or will she be rushed to get to another wedding?)
go preparedyour personal tastes, you'll need to show as well as tell. The best way is to gather photos from magazines that feature hairstyles you like and search wedding hairstyles online. You can even bring pictures of yourself that show the way you want your locks to look, or photos from a friend's wedding --anything that will give him a hint about what kind of style you're seeking. Bring your headpiece and a picture of your dress also.another smart idea - Wear white to your consultation -- even a white T-shirt -- so that your hair color will be showcased atop the right hue. You should also choose a shirt with a neckline similar to your gown -- different hairstyles lend themselves to particular necklines. Once your headpiece is in place, it will make your hairstyle look different, so it's important to bring it along for the consultations. If it hasn't arrived yet, ask your bridal salon to loan you a sample. Or bring along a photo, so at least the stylist knows what to expect.photosfour different angles - front, back, and both sides. That way, you'll be able to see how you look from all views, and you'll get an idea of how the stylist's work translates to photographs. If there's one particular style you like, ask her to write down exactly which products and techniques were used. Since a wedding consultation can take place months before your actual event, it's important to keep notes and take pictures so you can both remember what worked. decision to hire - hand over a deposit to save the date, and request a receipt. Another option is to have the stylist sign a formal contract, detailing everything you expect on the big day. It may seem overly obsessive, but this is not an ordinary hair appointment, so formalize the agreement - it's totally reasonable to want to.clock it - ensuring a great hair day on your wedding day will all come down to timing -- which means you'll need to schedule your hair appointment at precisely the right moment.
