Wedding receptions are for the guests.
You would take every care to ensure that they leave the event happy.
For your guests to be happy, a lot would depend on how well you plan and organize your reception.
The visitors will gather the relevant impression from the effort you have put into the event.
So how do we hold a reception that everybody will be pleased with? First, every visitor interacts with the environment.
Is the hall clean enough? Is it large enough to hold many chairs and tables? How about the decoration? Did you take your time to make them elaborate and classy? Do they match the theme of the wedding? Many guests would come along with cars.
Does the venue provide enough parking space? If you are holding the event in Summer or Winter when the weather can be so hot or so cold, you will have to take extra steps to ensure suitable room temperature.
The location of the event must not be too far away from the wedding hall.
Some of the guests did not come in their own cars and it would be bothersome to move again to another far location when they are already tired.
Find a convenient nearby site.
The music at the reception plays a very important role in getting the guests happy.
Make sure that the DJ or band that you hire is versatile and can play as many variable tunes as possible.
You have mixed guests and everyone must enjoy himself.
Food also makes the event.
Your caterer must have some experience in serving large number of people.
She must also be experienced in formal catering.
Depending on your preference and budget, you may have a sit down dinner or a buffet.
Buffets are cheap and will make everyone take what they want.
Sit down dinners will also suit the elderly and is elegant to hold.
