How can you make an exclusive-use wedding venue truly feel like \u2018yours\u2019 for the day?<\/span><\/p>\n

Hiring an exclusive-use wedding venue, such as a private barn, mansion or country house, comes with a plethora of benefits; you\u2019re guaranteed privacy throughout your day, and you\u2019re free to style it to your own taste and theme.<\/span><\/p>\n

But how can you put your own stamp on a venue that\u2019s \u2018yours\u2019 for a whole day?<\/span><\/p>\n

Welcome signs<\/span><\/p>\n

Personalised welcome signs to greet your guests will offer an introduction to your theme and what your friends and family can expect to see throughout the day. Simple words, such as \u201cWe\u2019re so glad you\u2019re here\u201d, or a full order-of-the-day-style pallet can add a fun twist and be completely unique to your day. You may even be able to place your signs along the country roads leading up to your venue to point guests in the right direction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Drinks on arrival<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re getting married in a church and travelling back to your chosen venue for your reception, it\u2019s always nice to offer a refreshment to your wedding party upon arrival. Similarly, a drink (or two) post-ceremony if you\u2019re getting married at the venue, not forgetting a welcome drink for evening guest. A \u2018Pimp Your Prosecco\u2019 stand could be a unique addition to traditional fizz, or consider offering a unique cocktail to get the celebrations started.<\/span><\/p>\n

Floral features<\/span><\/p>\n

Does your wedding venue offer a particularly beautiful staircase (inside or out), entrance or photography hot-spot that you can decorate with impressive flowers? Or, how about using a stand-out floral arch or impressive hanging floral display?<\/span><\/p>\n

Cool canap\u00e9s<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether an in-house catering team provides you with all of the food you\u2019ll need for your day, or you\u2019re hiring in external caterers at your exclusive-use wedding venue<\/a>, choose a selection of canap\u00e9s to impress your guests and get their pallets excited for the feast to come!<\/span><\/p>\n

Theme throughout<\/span><\/p>\n

Most couples opt for a block colour or colour-combination scheme when it comes to a wedding theme, but if you\u2019re looking to wow your guests, perhaps introduce a theme to your wedding that means something to you both; travel, films, musicals, bands, pets, books, landmarks, fairytales and sport teams are just a few ideas to get your mind racing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Outdoor fun<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re chosen venue offers beautiful countryside surroundings, it would be wrong not to take advantage of them, providing the weather is on your side. Think outdoor garden games, fun wedding photography<\/a>, musical entertainment, such as a string quartet, Irish band, harpist singers, or even something interactive, like a photo booth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exquisite food<\/span><\/p>\n

Your guests will look forward to and remember the food at your wedding, so getting it spot on is important. Couples who want to make their banquet extra special can opt to customise a dish, or upgrade their menu to something even more spectacular for their friends and family to enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Communication<\/span><\/p>\n

Planning any party or event requires time and communication to ensure perfection. The more you communicate with your venue and suppliers, the more seamless your day should run. Take time to think about your wedding plans in advance, before rushing into decisions that could cause upset later down the line.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unforgettable entertainment<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019ve chosen a romantic string quartet to play as you walk down the aisle, a magician for your drinks reception, or a brilliant DJ or band in the evening, your guests will be excited to find out what surprises you have planned in the lead-up to your day. If you choose suppliers that have worked at your venue of choice before, your planning process may be a little bit easier.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wow factor<\/span><\/p>\n

If you were throwing a party at home, you may want to end the night with a memorable moment. Therefore, if your exclusive use wedding venue allows it, why not opt for a fireworks display or, head off on your honeymoon in a fancy sports car the following morning?<\/span><\/p>\n
