Many couples get engaged with the intention of planning a wedding that’s as much about
the party as it is about their vows. After all, what’s a modern wedding if not an incredible
celebration with your closest family and friends?
The vows, ceremony, and traditional aspects are still the stars of the show, but putting on
an epic party for your nearest and dearest has become a huge focus for couples looking to
mark the occasion.
So how can you make your wedding the most fun party of the year?
Host it at a pub
What could be more fun than a venue that’s already beloved by the group? A space that’s beautiful and desirable – but not so fancy that your guests feel like they can’t let their hair down?
The venue will always play a major role in any wedding, as it helps to set the scene for the event. When your guests arrive at a wedding or reception venue that feels as warm and welcoming as a pub, it will immediately set them at ease, allowing them to enjoy every minute of the celebrations.
Make it personal
Want to make your wedding party memorable? Make it personal – to them and to you.
Find ways to showcase all your guests, whether that’s a slideshow in the background with all your favourite photos of everyone, or personalised place names with a photo of the guest with you or your spouse to-be.
Plus, make it personal to your relationship. Did you bond over trivia? Add a trivia element to your celebrations! Do you host regular wine and cheese nights? Serve a giant cheese platter instead of a wedding cake.
The goal is to make it so that anyone walking in feels like they’re part of the party, and like the party is unique to you.
Invest in a drinks package
While not everyone at a wedding will want to drink alcohol, there will likely be plenty who
do. And the quickest way to their hearts? An open bar.
Greengate Hotel offers drinks packages, so you can open up the bar and let your guests
enjoy the drinks on offer during the event without having to open up their wallets. Plus, our packages include a range of wines, beers, and non-alcoholic beverages, making it easy for guests to enjoy their favourite drops.
Make the venue work for you
Finally, choose a wedding venue that works for you.
That means picking somewhere where the size of the space works for the number of people you want to invite. For example, Greengate Hotel has multiple venue options in one, so you don’t have to book a massive venue if you only want to invite a smaller group.
That also means picking somewhere with flexible menu options. Here, you have the choice of canapes, food stations, and sit-down meals – all with their own flexible additions and changes.
Because you don’t have to get married or celebrate with a reception somewhere where everything is set in stone. Your venue should work for you – come and visit us at Greengate Hotel to see for yourself!
