What is a 'process'? What does it entail? Where should I start?
The truth is, the process of putting together your wedding reception can be a bit daunting. However, by putting these five steps into action, you will be on your way to creating a spectacular reception.
After the Guests have arrived, make them comfortable and show them where they can sit. Do not just leave the guests out in the cold; ensure that they are taken care of and showered with water. If you have a well-appointed hotel, then the guests may even be taken for a drink.
Once seating arrangements are set, the music can begin. At this point, have all music at your wedding to be in the form of original compositions. If the guests wish to dance, so be it; but if you wish them to be quiet, that is fine too.
You need to have the songs and 'feel' of your wedding down. And that does not mean that they are old songs you listened to years ago, but rather those which tell a story, such as 'Goodbye My Love'. Make sure you choose pieces which will fit into the style of your wedding as well as the time period of the ceremony.
After the vows have been said, you are ready to usher in the first Dance. Again, this can be in the form of an original piece, but you can find a lot of inspiration from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Another great choice is a background instrumental or jingle to the music.
As the ceremony begins, you need to begin to make small talk with the guests. Have them put their right hand up as this is their sign of respect. You also need to introduce yourselves to the newlyweds as well as giving them their rings.
Once the rest of the guests have been seated, you will need to move on to the food. And you should prepare a good platter for the couple to eat. Keep in mind that the dish should not seem cluttered or overly-used. The more important it is to the couple, the better it should be.
You should then start getting the music for the ceremony. This should be in the form of music that has not been played before and is fresh and funky. Start with a simple song and build from there.
Of course, once the ceremony is over and the Bride and Groom are taken down the aisle, your next priority is to get your party moving into the main event, the dance. This can be a combination of an old favorite as well as a new one. In this way, you can give each guest a special moment in time and remember the event for years to come.
Finally, in order to keep the dance from feeling like a bunch of kids running through the park with a bunch of equipment, you need to make sure that the dance floor is in good shape. This means having them cleaned up and maintained by a professional. You will then be able to get a long, high energy dance going and not worry about the people who were out of the way.
Finally, after the music is over, the cake and wedding favors are set up, and the DJ takes the stage, the best place to be is right at the reception table. You will be surrounded by people you love and, with such a romantic setting, you will want to reminisce and laugh for years to come.
