Your wedding only happens once, so you might as well extend the festivities, right? There’s more to it than the actual ceremony and reception. Along the way, there are other events that will need to be organized for close family and friends, such as the below:
Rehearsal Dinner
Venues at a wedding show also cover the rehearsal dinner. Expert planners and private event directors will be able to speak to what they have to offer for a flawless rehearsal dinner, or pre-or-post ceremony meal. You’ll want help in negotiating costs, constructing the menu, organizing and booking audiovisual equipment and other entertainment, making sure invitations go out on time, drawing up a seating plan, touching base with vendors, ordering the décor, and making sure final payments and deposits for vendors are taken care of.
Bridal Shower
If you want a professional to plan a memorable bridal shower, our venue experts will have unique and sophisticated options for you at the show. Before you go, try to pick a date, and have a guest list number in mind. Showers should be held about two weeks to two months before the wedding. It will also help to have a theme in mind, as well as a location.
Engagement Party
