More and more couples choose to travel for their wedding outside of their hometown. There are different reasons why. Sometimes they don’t want to play favorites if one or both of them are not from the town they live in or their families are scattered across the country. The number one reason is to pick an unforgettable destination that will be remembered by the couple and their guests.
South Carolina has become a very popular destination for a
wedding. No wonder! Great weather, beaches, lavish parks make perfect backdrops
for the wedding pictures. Places like Charleston offer great historic locations
for wedding receptions and ceremonies.
So, what if you have to plan a wedding in a south? Where do
you start to ensure that the wedding will be not just a party with lots of
food, but a very special occasion, the one people talk about way after
honeymooners returned home?
Here are few things to remember.
If you are a Wedding planner, DJ or any other wedding
related professional, please, make sure that your fees and your budget are
clearly discussed with the couple or the other responsible party. Do not surpass
your budget; do not add any last minute fees. That will ruin the day. The
comprehensive collaborative platform of Inspherio allows you to do just that,
set your prices and let your client see them clearly with our Client Portal
tool.
Most southerners don’t like sit-down dinners, buffet may be more appropriate. Make sure that set up
of the tables and stations allows for a good traffic flow, yet make sure that there are
places to gather. Southerners like to congregate and chat. Ample elbow room
around a bar station usually does the trick.
For the menu, stick with simple comfort dishes, nothing over-the-top. A roast-beef carving station with lots of side dishes is a loved staple.
Outline the time when the reception will end, it is a courtesy
that will be welcomed by both guests and the staff servicing the wedding.
If a wedding is outdoors, take measures to ensure proper
airflow; fans, ice sculptures and lots
of cold beverages (ice tea is best) will make your clients more comfortable.
These are just few things that we could come up with. For more Tips and Tricks visit our other blog posts.
Of course, every event is different and takes a lot of collaboration, communication and hard work.
