What Your Guests Will Remember Most About Your Wedding

April 16, 20250

After your wedding, what stays with your guests isn’t the cake, the decor or the dancing – it’s the memories. You’ll recall every detail you stressed over, but your guests will only remember the key highlights.

So, what will your guests actually remember?

1. How the Day Felt

More than anything, people remember feelings. Was the day loving, fun, and joyful? Did they feel welcome and relaxed at the party?

It’s all about the vibe. A relaxed garden wedding versus a fancy ballroom thing? The feeling you create sticks.

Tip: Smile at your guests, have friendly staff, and play music that fits the mood. Small stuff matters.

2. The Ceremony

The wedding ceremony is the heart of it all. Your guests will recall the emotion, the vows, and the love they saw between you.

A short, sweet, and personal ceremony is better than a long, boring one. Let your love shine, it makes your wedding special.

Tip: Pick someone who knows you well to run the ceremony, or someone who tries to get to know your story.

3. The Food and Drinks

Let’s be real – everyone loves food! People will remember if it tasted good and was served hot.

Whether it’s a sit-down meal or a buffet, make sure it’s good and filling. Remember dietary needs, too.

4. The Venue

The venue sets the stage for everything. The look and feel of the place, from decor to acoustics, can leave a lasting impression.

Guests like nice spaces, comfy seats, and easy layouts. Photo spots are a plus, too!

Tip: Our venues – The Lemnos and The Victorian – offer comfort and lots of charm that your guests are sure to like.

5. The Party

A band, a DJ, or a dance gets people talking. If people are dancing and smiling, you’ve done it right. Good music, games, and a photo booth make it a wedding to remember.

Play songs for everyone. Our team can help make a playlist to keep the party going.

6. The Speeches

Heartfelt and funny speeches stick with people. It’s a chance to share stories, say thanks, and bring tears and laughs. Keep them short and make sure everyone can hear.

Tip: We have good AV sound systems, so test them before your big day.

June is a great month when it comes to wedding flowers as there are so many fabulous options at this time of the year. However, choosing the perfect wedding flowers that fit your style and match your colour choice can be overwhelming, especially when the choice is so huge. Here is a selection of the best flowers for a June wedding.

Wishes for Bride and Groom on a Wedding Day

June 17, 20190

Are you still trying to figure out what to write on a wedding card?

The wishes for the bride and groom are sent through cards on their wedding day. Wedding wishes can vary depending on whether the bride or groom is your family member, friend or co-worker. A great wedding message should be sentimental, sweet and tailored to the couple. Here is a guide, with specific examples, on wishes for the bride and groom on a wedding day.

1. Formal wedding wishes

You can use the theme of the ceremony to express your happiness for the bride and groom. For example, you can write: “Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be part of this wonderful day. Wishing you all the best in life as you embark on this wonderful journey together.”

2. Casual wedding wishes

It is acceptable to write a more casual wedding message in the card, regardless of who the recipient is. You can keep your wishes short and sweet, like “Best wishes!” or “Congratulations on your wedding!”

3. Funny wedding wishes

You can also write a funny message on the card that you think will make the couple laugh, as long as there are no offending jokes. Examples are “Be super good to each other” or “Thanks for inviting us to join in the fun as you get married. Big congrats!”

4. Religious wedding wishes

Religious wedding wishes include God and quote scripture. Consider the couple’s beliefs and practices and customize their message. Christian examples can be: “Love is patient. Love is kind. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4-13” or “Congratulations on your wedding! May God bless you and your union.”

5. Wedding wishes for a family member

You can choose to go general or very personal depending on how close you are to the family member. You can write: “Best wishes on your union and a warm welcome to the family!” or “Great addition to our family. I am so happy to celebrate with you. Hearty congratulations!”

6. Wedding wishes to a friend

You can choose a wedding wish for your friend based on how funny, serious or personal your relationship has been. You can write: “In all the times that we have known each other, this is a great joy to be part of your wedding celebration. You deserve the best love with your new (husband/wife).”

7. Wedding wishes to a co-worker

For your co-worker, you can go with the general wording, for example: “Congratulations on your wedding! Now, when you are on your honeymoon, do not even worry about work!”
