When the newlyweds who just started preparing for the wedding came to see me, everyone had a lot of expectations for the venue. What they want to know is mainly the terrain of the venue, the bride's lounge, dishes, whether to provide additional decorations or gifts, and audio-visual equipment.
In principle, choosing a venue is indeed a subjective matter, and more importantly, it is often suitable for both sides' traffic problems and budget considerations.
It's just that "dream" and "reality" sometimes can't have both (parents or geographical factors). If I don't choose a hotel or a wedding hall, what I want this time is not how to choose a venue, but how to "make up for the lack of venues."
The biggest problem is divided into the following aspects:
The audio-visual equipment in restaurants is usually insufficient, and the projector is old, so it can't play the expected texture, let alone the people who can help play audio-visual So I suggest that there must be a friend to help fill this role. Moreover, if the projector equipment is poor, it is really not recommended to show any movies, and it really makes guests feel tired. You can consider using other activities instead of showing movies.
In fact, we can know that most restaurants have no lights, or they can only be all bright or all dark. Of course, I have seen many colorful restaurants. It is usually an absolute test for photographers and cameramen (too many computer lights will turn the faces of newcomers into traffic lights). If it is an important entrance, it is strongly recommended to simply use dining lights.
Outfield coordination Because there is no basic staff training in general restaurants, service attitude and initiative are not available in every restaurant. I know that many restaurants are really delicious and praised by elders, but when we arrive at the venue one month before the wedding reception to accompany the couple to understand the details of the day, we usually find that the couple actually feel that many problems have not been solved, and more importantly, they don't understand the important role of "waiting all the time". So on that day, we will see that the guests can't find a place, the guests add drinks indiscriminately, or the outfield doesn't serve themselves according to the process, and the staff doesn't provide thoughtful service. At this time, we will need newcomers to find a few escorts or best man friends who can better grasp the situation on the spot to try to control the venue, and we will also determine with the field staff in advance whether the arranged dishes, drinks, processes and items prepared with additional assistance are appropriate (such as candy baskets for farewell guests). ).
P.S. strongly recommends that restaurants should not prepare snacks with shells, which will make the bride's white gauze colorful. = =
Generally, newcomers to restaurants know that they must come by themselves. In addition to finding a simple decorator, they can also ask their friends and sisters to help them plan a warm little space, buy some flowers, find a lovely bottle and cup, sprinkle some rose petals, put out items with unforgettable memories of themselves and their partners, or put a wedding gift (such as a blessing card) in the photo area, which can also increase the sense of richness in the layout.
Finally, besides the conditions of the restaurant itself, the most important thing is the planning of the wedding day. The key is to find a good host, who will help you add a happy and warm atmosphere to the scene and make the shortcomings of the restaurant disappear!
Personally, I have seen all the horrible venues, and it must be difficult to plan into a five-star hotel. But in fact, as long as I have confidence, want to share the concept of the wedding, have good friends and sisters to share with you, and have good communication with the restaurant, in fact, guests will always remember how lively the wedding was and how warm the atmosphere was in the end! And remember the mood you want to bring to everyone! ^^
