Three Tips to Planning a Fun Wedding Reception

by

Although a wedding celebration should be mostly about all the bride and groom, it’s also a time of celebration for the guests at the wedding. This is why many couples invest their time and money into planning fun wedding receptions that everyone will enjoy.

But planning a successful wedding can be challenging. How to make sure everything has a good time? Fortunately, the professionals at L.A. Banquets have years of experience in planning fun weddings. Here are three tips designed to help you plan a night that everyone will remember.

Book an Extravagant Banquet Hall

Say no to the gymnasium down the street! Atmosphere is one of the most important elements in planning a fun wedding. If you want to make sure that everyone has a good time, book an impressive venue that will garner attention. Some of the best wedding banquet halls provide beautiful décor and luxury accommodations, making guests feels as though they’re at a celebrity party. Enhance the party experience with valet parking, coat check services, and a cocktail hour.

Don’t Skimp on Food

Food can make or break a good party. In an effort to save money, many couples opt for finger foods or appetizers instead of providing full course meals for their guests. But food is not the place to cut costs, especially if you plan to provide alcohol. A formal wedding reception should always have great food and plenty of it. It doesn’t mean you have to provide a seven-course meal, but it does mean you should incorporate dinner into the final budget.

To ensure that everyone is satisfied, consider having a buffet with different choices. You can also go for a family-style dining experience that creates a cozy atmosphere.

Provide Plenty of Entertainment

Food and drinks alone isn’t enough to get a party going. Every wedding reception should have plenty of entertainment for guests and the wedding party. We recommend live music, a DJ, or a little bit of both. They key is to play a variety of music styles as opposed to one. Playing a variety of styles such as pop, rock, and dance music, will ensure that everyone gets to hear their “favorite song,” that will make them jump out of their seats and dance. Other types of entertainment to consider include belly dancers, fire dancers, and choreographed dances performed by the wedding party.

With a great venue, delicious food, and plenty of entertainment, your guests are sure to have a wonderful time at your wedding.
