Some of the wedding world’s most embarrassing mishaps have arisen from the venue booking more than one wedding on the day. Here’s what to avoid…
Weddings are big business, and some venues take the opportunity to squeeze in as many ceremonies as possible in each available day. It spells good news for the venue, as they get to cash in on several weddings at once. However, more often than not, it’s not such good news for the bride, groom and their guests!
Multi-Wedding Mishaps to Avoid
Guests wandering into the wrong ceremony. Believe it or not, this has been known to happen on several occasions! It’s bad enough to have the other bride’s great auntie Hilda accidentally sitting in on your special day. However, things get even worse when large groups of raucous, inebriated men you don’t know gate-crash your evening disco!
An unwanted presence in your photos. Nope, we’re not talking ghostly apparitions here, we’re talking people you don’t know, lurking nearby whilst you smile for the camera! This is a classic downfall of booking at a venue that permits more than one wedding a day. You want your photos to be magical memories of you, your family and friends. Not someone else’s guests’, wandering around aimlessly in the background, looking a little lost and confused.
Noise, noise, noise! Most wedding parties are likely to be considerate of those around them, but don’t take it for granted that this will always be the case. Some couples report that their wedding days have been destroyed by loud singing, drunken activities and anti-social behaviour. It’s one thing if it’s your grandmother ripping up the dance-floor and howling along to YMCA, but quite another if the noise is coming from people you don’t know.
Catering mix-ups. Of course, it’s likely that your venue will really try to get the details right; but with so many weddings to manage, it’s inevitable that mix-ups happen from time to time. It’s not likely to put a smile on your face when you sit down to an elegant four course meal, only to find out you’ve been served the American diner themed burger and fries instead. Extra tomato ketchup with that, anyone?
It just does not feel special. On your wedding day, you deserve to feel really special. And we mean really special indeed. Feeling a little like you’re on a conveyor belt, and are simply another source of money for the venue, will not help to make you feel like a superstar on your big day.
