Wedding Planning

Key Questions• how can you set your

wedding apart from other

weddings?

• what would you like your

guests to remember most

when they leave?

• how do the event activities

fit into your budget?

Establish Timeline

• Organize every detail as

early as possible.

• Have a soft timeline for

events to keep yourself on

task. We say soft timeline to

allow room for modification

of the timeline, be prepared

for the unexpected.

Get Your Priorities Right…• talk to family and friends about their thoughts on your wedding

early, they will feel that you value their input and you just might

end up using their ideas. if not however, this gets it out of their

system and allows you to focus on your own ideas.

• make a list of the details you can’t live without. everyone has an

idea of what there wedding is going to look or be like in their

head. make a short list of "must haves" for your wedding. if you

budget these things in first they will have a better chance of

actually making it into your wedding.

we have shared in some amazing wedding days. experience shows that those wedding days don’t just happen by accident – it’s all

1. allow yourself plenty of time. a wedding is emotional

enough, don't add stress by setting a wedding date that

doesn't leave you with enough time to plan. the larger the

wedding, the more time you'll need. you want time to

educate yourself with the options available and time to

choose your vendors. remember, these vendors are critical

to making your special day a success. don't add undue

pressure on yourself by rushing these decisions. you'll also

find that some of the more popular vendors and sites will

be booked up to a year in advance.

2. it’s a gift. if your budget is getting tight, include items you

would like on your day on your gift list – i.e. 1 hour of a

string quartet, a guestbook, pages in your wedding album,

cake, chocolate fountain. It’s a great way of letting people

play a big part in your special day.

3. research for the best deals. if hosting the wedding at a

hotel, avoid booking during the peak dates. spring &

summer weekends are typically the busiest and most

expensive times to book a wedding. instead, look for

nontraditional days or times. embassy suites

charlotte/concord is also home to spa botanica, rocky river

grille and the rocky river golf club three amazing venues for

those other wedding experience events – i.e. bridal/couple

showers, rehearsal dinner and bachelor/bachelorette

events.

4. keep them in the loop. once your plans are in place – tell

people about them. if the ushers, bridesmaids, maids of

honor, best man all know what you are planning, they’ll be

able to help the plans become a reality on the day itself.

also, if your guests know what is going on, they’ll tend to

relax more and events will run smoothly.

5. set the mood with decorations. embellish, adorn and

decorate. simple decor is not only best, it is marvelously

elegant. elegant doesn't have to mean expensive. think

sentimental instead of expensive and you'll amaze yourself

with the brilliant ideas that come to mind. embassy suites

charlotte/concord recommends sterling events

(www.sterlingeventsgroup.com) for those extra wow

decorations.

6. make smart food and drink choices. make sure to provide

options to accommodate various diets and preferences. the

culinary team at embassy suites charlotte/concord can work

with you to recommend which items will work best for your

event. every reception should have beer, wine, or alcoholic

beverages available. hesitant??? think again. cocktails

loosen people up. even people who do not drink, often

make exceptions at weddings. however, it is important to

provide non-alcoholic beverages as well. try to include an

interesting non-alcoholic alternative. this helps those who

are not drinking to feel more included.

7. keep them entertained. special activities just for the joy of it

remember, most of your guests may not know each other.

the greatest wedding memories are the new friendships

and extended family bonds created at your wedding. use

interactive games, specialty dances, bold announcements,

or fun activities during the reception to break the ice and

help people get to know one other. suddenly you'll see

people laughing and enjoying themselves instead of feeling

shy or retreating on the sidelines.

8. be responsible. arrange to make taxis or other alternative

transportation methods available to anyone who gets too

“festive” to drive. encourage your friends and family to

make a night of it. embassy suites charlotte/concord offers

great wedding rates so no one has to worry about driving

home.

9. the chosen one. make sure you have one person that you

can totally trust to be your ‘problem solver’. being able to

delegate to this person, and knowing that they will do what

is required to make things happen, will allow you to relax

and enjoy your day.

10. don’t forget what the day is about. give yourself some time

to take in your special day. take a step back and watch it all

happen – the day will rush past, so give yourselves

opportunities to savor it.

10 tips that are certain to help create an enjoyable celebration without the headaches.

ceremony tip:

PLAN A for your glorious outdoor wedding should be to

come up with a PLAN B. the weather doesn't always

cooperate, especially during the spring and fall months.

make sure to secure another location as a backup, even if

that means simply moving from the garden to the ballroom.

can't find a way to get everything done? enlist the help of

your friends to meet those last-minute chores. but make it

fun: organize a "working party."

if providing for everyone just isn't possible, consider handing

out movie tickets to the uninvited guests — or plan a

separate cocktail party just for them.

rehearsal dinner tip:

If you plan a small wedding, consider inviting everyone to the rehearsal dinner. Your out-of-town guests and closest friends who are

not a part of the ceremony will appreciate the gesture.

rehearsal dinners we understand how planning a rehearsal dinner requires more consideration than it used to.

many of today's couples are forgoing more traditional sit-down dinners in favor of casual, relaxing affairs. they are inviting more

than just the wedding party. and they are deciding to hold the event two days prior to the wedding rather than the night before.

our staff will meet your needs, regardless of which path you choose, by providing the appropriate venue to accommodate all your

guests and a delightful meal that meets your highest expectations.

our botanica dining rooms in rocky river grille or the clubhouse at rocky river golf club are the perfect venues for this intimate event.

the day after all the festivities is a fantastic time to hold one final get-together, especially

if you and your newly wedded aren't leaving for your honeymoon right away. This can

be an all-comers affair, or just a special time for you and your family to decompress.
