Let’s face it, planning a wedding in a busy area such as Massachusetts can be hectic. In the midst of planning your event, you may miss a few details that could be key in making it a success or a huge stress. We’ve compiled just a few that you may not have thought of just yet that not all wedding magazines are going to share with you.
1. Where should the speakers stand?
If you are having a toast at your wedding, make sure not to have the speakers stand in front of the DJ’s table. It’s not always the most appealing for photographs. You can always create a nice background or use one of the great backdrops that Marx Entertainment has.
2. Prepare the night before your wedding.
The day before your wedding, take the time to prepare what you need for the next day. Lay out your morning clothes, pack an emergency kit, organize the pay envelopes and vendor tips so you can dedicate the evening to relax. This way, the morning of your wedding, you won’t need to be running around trying to remember if you packed the extra pair of comfortable shoes for the reception.
3. Have one person be in charge of your photos.
Designate someone you trust to collect all of the photos from your big day. Yes, you have a professional photographer that is catching the key moments of your day. However, you may still want all of those photographs from your friends and family of moments you weren’t around to see because you were too busy saying “Thank you” to your grandparents. Why not try an Instagram hashtag to use for your event with a slide show? Yes, we can help you out with that!
4. Wait to say “Thank you!”
Hold off on writing your thank you letters until after the wedding and the honeymoon. If you have a registry, it’s obvious that a particular person bought you a new blender, but the preparation for your big day came from the help of others. Maybe your cousin was extra help with the last minute preparations that you wouldn’t have been able to get done any other way. You want to customize your “Thank you” cards and this way can personally thank people for the contributions they made for your perfect wedding day.
5. Don’t let your friend be the announcer.
Designate your DJ to be the announcer for your wedding. You may have a friend that has already offered to do the honors, but what if they feel like enjoying the festivities too? Leave it to someone who is dedicated specifically to the task and has had experience doing it.
Marx Entertainment has had experience with thousands of New England events, so we know there will be some ‘off-beat’ things to remember. Feel free to let us help you plan your Massachusetts wedding and make it the success you’ve always dreamt it to be.
