Planning a Wedding in a Private Home

Planning a wedding reception at a private home can be a challenge, especially if the ceremony is occurring there as well. But when planned correctly, an at-home wedding is not only good for your budget, but also extremely intimate and meaningful. There is nothing like celebrating one of the most important days of your life in a place you call home. So if you're hosting a wedding in your home, whether a large estate, or a conservative cottage, here are some tips:
  • Space is so important, especially if the ceremony is also occurring at the home. Guests will arrive at least a ½ hour early, so be sure to separate the ceremony and reception areas.
  • Be sure to allow your vendors a minimum of (3) hours set-up time. When your guests arrive to a fully decorated reception area, the additional hour will be worth it.
  • Having an open bar prior to the ceremony is a personal decision, but if you choose not to open the bar, make sure to have bottled water available for the guests - especially if the ceremony is taking place outside.
  • If you choose to take pictures between the ceremony and reception, be sure to include a cocktail hour with a bar and butler passed hors d'oeuvres or a station. And keep the cocktail "hour" just that.
  • As for the actual meal, ensure prompt service by providing the caterer with easy access to the main reception area, especially if it's a plated meal. Service will be much quicker if the wait staff doesn't have to walk over the meadow and through the woods to provide your guests with food.
  • And most importantly: have a rain plan! This is Florida and it’s never smart to take Mother Nature for granted as she really has her own agenda.
With smart planning up front and an educated off-site Special Event Planner, you can have the most fabulous “home” wedding and enjoy family and friends in an intimate setting that reflects your personality!
