Your wedding reception should be one of the most special days of your life. If you are in the beginning stages of planning your big day, it might seem overwhelming to get all of the details to come together. With a few simple tips, you will be well on your way to planning your dream reception.

Find the Perfect Venue

Without the right reception venue, you cannot throw the kind of party that you want to throw. Browse a few venues in your area until you find one that takes your breath away. Once you choose the venue, take another tour of the location so you can get a better idea of how your wedding décor will look. Work with the venue staff to build the celebration that you have always dreamed of.

Work Up a Delectable Menu

If you want your banquet hall to be full of people enjoying their meals, you have to choose a menu that has something for everyone. Decide if you want to do a buffet or a sit-down dinner. Work with the bar staff to come up with a few creative cocktails that represent you as a couple.

Get the Right Entertainment

Band or DJ is the eternal question when it comes to a wedding reception. Before you start trying to decide, think about the music selection you want. If you prefer a mix of genres and artists, a DJ might better suit your needs. If you want to stick with a particular style of music, though, you might want to find a really great band in your area.

Offer Your Guests Great Favors

Make your wedding reception even more memorable by giving your guests thoughtful and unique party favors before they leave. Small boxes of gourmet candy, coffee beans, or a mojito kit stray from the norm and give your guests one more reason to love your wedding.
