Trying to impress and entertain all of the guests at your wedding can be exhausting. With so many different personalities, tastes, and preferences you can find it hard to please everyone. The key is to provide enough diversity within your event that everyone feels special. From food ideas to unexpected little touches the Beardmore Event Center connected to the Courtyard by Marriott along with The Knot highlight some of the ways to make your event stand out from the others. Beardmore Event Center connected to the Courtyard by Marriott just opened in August 2016 and features the newest state of the art capabilities in the metro area.
1. Welcome Them with Nebraska Themed Goodie Bags
Kick off your reception by welcoming guests with a unique themed gift. Forget the koozies, bottle openers, magnets, and kitchy stuff and focus on personalization by offering them something local. Offering your guests a local gift allows them to take a little bit of Bellevue, Nebraska home with them. Consider adding a personalized welcome and thank you note.
2. Make It Social
Allow your guests to remain social while snapping photos and selfies at your wedding by creating a wedding hashtag. Post signs with the hashtag and create a unique space for selfies with upload instructions to your favorite social media sites such as Instagram and Facebook. Stream the photos live at your event.
3. Make Them Feel Special with Reception Ushers
Personalize your event by using ushers at your reception to walk guests to their table for an upscale restaurant experience. Ask your reception venue if their waitstaff can perform the duty or assign a few ushers to do the job.
4. Make An Interactive Tasting Station
Host a bar or dessert station during your cocktail hour where guests can customize their own bites or sips. Dishes full of fruit purees, lavender sprigs, citrus twists, and flavored ice cubes that can be spooned into glasses of bubbly will make the toast that much more fun. Another fun idea is to have a pro on hand to explain the in the ins and outs of tasting beer, wine or whiskey!
5. Serve Foods The Gourmet Way
You don’t have to serve foie grois for your food to be fancy. Instead serve foods that suit a variety of pallets. At the Beardmore Event Center we invite you to work with our chef to come up with creative ways to serve everyone’s favorites. Even simple grilled vegetables can wow when served in a cool color-coded design and mini anything is always a hit.
6. Feed Them Twice with A Late Night Snack
Plan a post wedding bash for those guests the want to keep going in a smaller salon or hospitality suite. Consider designing the space as a place to unwind with comfortable sofas, chairs, and plenty of pillows or keep the party going by offering a different scene with music, drinks and a late night snack. Think sweet or savory when it comes to food or consider serving a quick fast-food type meal with burgers, fries and milk shakes.
