How can we create an amazing atmosphere? Attend to every detail. Take a list when you tour possible wedding reception venues. Cover all points and ideas with their coordinator. Factors to consider:

Table set up. View a possible venue that is setting up for a wedding to get a real good feel for the space. Does it accommodate the table set up that you have in mind?

Ceilings. Dress them up! Popular wedding balloon ideas enhance any theme. String small lights to give the allusion of twinkling stars.

Walls. Often forgotten, but a few wall adornments make your reception hall “pop”. Spice up bland walls with colorful banners from ceiling to floor. Ideas are endless.

Floors. Yep! Floors. Most people don't notice them unless they really clash or are just plain icky, but a great floor covering is essential to your presentation and pictures. Dark, dirt floors jump out when photographed against white and pink table skirting. Our advice: simplify other wedding decorations to budget for floor covering if needed.

Miscellaneous. Electrical outlet for DJ? Convenient restroom locations? What type of lighting do you have to work with?

Enjoy the ride tip: Get a contract that states specifics: Date of party, room(s) to be used, time of rental (2pm -6 pm), decorating policies. Find out what other events are scheduled at the same time. Will they interfere with your celebration? Grab some coffee with friends.
