When our clients are planning their wedding celebration, they often want to incorporate spending more time with their guests than can be accommodated within a traditional time frame of a wedding ceremony and evening reception in one single day. The most common way to do this is to plan an entire weekend with multiple events, ranging from casual and relaxed garden party brunches to upscale cocktail receptions; or to schedule exclusive experiences like a private sunset yacht cruise for guests who wish to join. Planning extra events around the wedding ceremony and reception ensures couples have plenty of time to connect with guests who want to share in their joy and celebration. Many times the guest list is full of out-of-town family and friends who have to travel to get to the celebration location. Adding a few events on either side of the actual wedding day allows guests ample time to travel, settle in at the right place and enjoy a little rest and relaxation before the big day. An added bonus of these events is that the actual wedding day becomes more enjoyable for the couple as they can focus on being in the moment since they’ve already designated time with guests before and after the nuptials. Besides, why not let the celebration of love continue over the course of a few days rather than restraining it to one jam-packed day? For our clients Regina and Eric, that’s just what we did! Take a look at their wedding weekend welcome cocktail reception inside the Court of Honor at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco.
