expert advice 1
"
Trust the expertise of the
facility staff if you desire a relaxing, stress-free reception that eveyrone
will enjoy," advises Sharon Glagola of Ridge Manor Party Center. " They have the expertise to handle any
challenge.
Knowing you are in good
hands will allow you to relax, smile laugh, socialize, eat, dance, celebrate,
and have fun! If you do, your guests
will follow suit."
“Ask about referrals, because the people
at the hall can suggest recommendations for other services. If you can use
the vendors that the hall works with most often, it can be easier on
everybody because then they don't have to get messages to each other through
the bride,” suggests Judd Limbach of Rustic Hills Country Club.
“More
brides are choosing a formal look for their reception celebration, including
special linens and elegant ice sculptures,” noted Mary Jane Lucak of St.
Michaels Woodside. “These touches add an elegant flair to the celebration as
well.”
“The
first goal of a reception sites staff should be to provide the guests with
the most spectacular reception they have ever attended,” Jim Rosenberg of
Chagrin Valley Athletic Club exclaims. “The staff should also be available
from the early planning stages to the final toast.”
“Booking your reception at a venue with hotel rooms has many advantages for both the couple and their guests. Your guests will get discounted room rates and will not have to go far at the end of the night. You will not have to worry about your guests making it safely home or about providing transportation. With everyone under one roof there is more time for gathering before the wedding or even the next day at breakfast." Katie Butler
Executive Meeting & Wedding Manager Embassy Suites - Rockside
“This may be surprising to people, but
brides tend to have a better turnout for Friday evening receptions. People
are already dressed up, and they just come right from work,” says Pamela
Parker of Country Lakes Party Center.
The Sales Manager and Wedding Coordinator for the Sheraton Suites Akron/ Cuyahoga Falls notes that couples are really trying to connect with their guests (especially out-of-towners) and are planning a weekend full of activities and get-togethers. Friday night weddings, Saturday family events and Sunday brunches are becoming very popular.

expert advice 2
"
To save time when planning
your reception, take into account a location that will provide you with the
most services within one location," adds Michelle Adelman of Executive
Caterers.
" Look for a facility
that can not only provide you with quality food and exceptional service, but
one that can offer you an incredible ambiance, (both indoors and out),
decoration and flower service, plus AV capabilities if you're planning to
showcase a wedding video. When you
take all these factors into consideration, you'll be surprised how much you
can get done and still have time to relax BEFORE the wedding day."
Kristan Dolan from Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field adds: " As a bride, you have the luxury of customizing your wedding day to ensure it is all that you dreamed it would
be.
When selecting a location for
your reception or rehearsal dinner, pick a location that is comfortable for
both you and the groom. Regardless of
the location, you should be able to be rest assured that all of your needs
will be met and the event staff will provide you and your guests with the
best customer service possible."
Catering Sales Manager, Kimberly Patrone,
from The Lodge at Geneva on-the-Lake recommends brunch receptions. " Not only does it save money on your
reception but it gives the bride and groom more time to spend with each other on their wedding day after
the brunch is over as opposed to evening receptions that tend to run
late."
“A good banquet facility and staff will put themselves in 'your shoes' and treat your reception as if it were their very own. How will they maximize your budget to give you everything you want? A hall should accommodate the bride in every way that they can,” says Sean Brennan of Brennan's Catering & Banquet Center.
"There are many ways to save money when planning your wedding-just keep an open mind. Being flexible with your wedding date is a great way to save money because many venues and vendors will provide discounts for Friday and Sunday wedding receptions...simply because these days are not in high demand! Also save money by combining certain aspects of your decorations...For example,use the guest table centerpiece as a favor and an additional
dessert by using different shaped containers and filling them with colorful candies or chocolates. It adds a sense of style and color to your guest table, as well as pleasing your sweet tooth." Brenda Schiralli, Catering Sales Manager, The Bertram Inn & Conference Center
"Decide if you want your reception to be trendy, traditional, romantic or fun. Once you make that decision, work with the reception venue on choosing lighting, décor and linens that will set the mood you are looking for. Many couples will utilize draping and up-lighting to create a trendy look. If you are trying to set a romantic mood for your guests, consider candlelight with soft colors and fabrics." Embassy Suites
- Beachwood
Michelle Dearlove, Banquet Manager for Medina Country Club suggests a way to stay with your budget is to eliminate a full bar. "A wedding reception does not have to have liquor to make it memorable. Many receptions have a soft bar, consisting of beer, wine and non-alcoholic beverages, instead of offering liquor."

expert advice 3
"On such a big day, it's easy to overlook some details, but be sure to consider kid's menu choices for any children who may be attending with guests. Plus, remember to feed your vendors! Make sure you check your contracts with your DJ and photographer to see if you are required to feed them... if so, make sure you include them in your overall guest counts." - Quail Hollow Resort
