When you think about your big day, many things come to mind.
You may think of the elegance of the dresses, the beauty of the decorations, the dancing and laughter of your guests.
So many details go into the reception of your dreams that sometimes the ceremony can be over shadowed.
Here are a few things you can do to make sure you have the Minnesota wedding ceremony of your dreams!
Chose your Minnesota wedding ceremony site carefully
Your Minnesota wedding ceremony location is where you will be making one of the biggest commitments of your life.
In the summer months, take into account that heat can cause older Minnesota churches to become ovens, likewise, a Minnesota outdoor ceremony, though beautiful, can really scorch your guests from the hot sun.
Choose your Minnesota wedding ceremony church or venue with air conditioning in mind or at least good air circulation.
If the wedding ceremony location you desire is outside, choose a space that has an abundance of shade, or is next to a larger body of water for natural cool breeze air conditioning.
How many guests?
How many guests will be at your wedding ceremony?
If you have over 50 guests, you will want to look at amplifying your vows and the music.
Many brides make the mistake of thinking that their minister or officiant can speak loud enough for everyone to hear.
This is often ineffective and can leave your guests straining to hear this very special moment of your big day.
If you are having live music, it is quite difficult to make most traditional instruments louder without sound assistance.
Your professional Minnesota wedding DJ can now offer inexpensive wedding ceremony packages that include all of the microphones and music you will need!
Have you designed a prelude?
When we think of wedding ceremonies, we may think of the traditional songs for the processional or recessional.
Many brides choose songs for unity gestures or to honor special guests or passed relatives.
But before the ceremony even starts, your guests will be arriving.
Choosing a set of five to ten songs for your guests to listen to as they arrive is a really nice touch.
This can be a great place to put those songs you love most, the ones that describe you and your fiancé the best.
Have an exit strategy prepared
When your Minnesota wedding ceremony is done, often there is some time before the reception begins.
Will you be having a receiving line?
What will the guests do in the interim?
Having a list of local quick activities for your guests can fill in those gaps nicely for you, and try to minimize the amount of time between when your ceremony ends and when your reception begins!
