Love a Vibey Wedding? So Do We.
The best weddings aren't just beautiful; they have a vibe.
The kind of vibe where everyone relaxes, laughs, dances, fully immersed in the day and your guests telling you "That was THE BEST wedding I’ve ever been to, 10/10, no notes"
So how do you create a vibe wedding?
Here’s 5 simple steps to help bring in the good times.
Step 1: Make Planning Easy
A great vibe starts long before the wedding day. It’s the approach and mindset.
Keep everything organised in one place, think digital planning hubs, clear breakdowns of each part of the day.
Have a lot of support and/or a team that's easy to communicate with so you can really share your thoughts in a precise way, so on the day, no stress, just good times!
Think less admin. More excitement.
Step 2: Focus on the Fun
When planning your day, think about the moments people will remember. Build your timeline around the experiences that bring people together and keep the energy flowing.
You can steer your guests’ experience by the additions you make at key points of the day.
The welcome drinks. What’s the vibe here?
You can set the tone here by pre-ordering and personalising or even theming.
Think couples cocktails, Italian-esque spritz selections, Aperols in the sun …
What about an interactive drink station? Or a maybe a spicy marg tower?
Entertainment – the element of surprise!
Your guests will often not know your plans for the day in advance; live entertainment & performances will always add particularly memorable uplifting memories and fun surprises!
Make the most of every moment.
Aisle recessionals, wedding breakfast walk in’s – be extra! Choose the music, have the confetti clouds, have a host to hype the moments & bring that energy from the crowd for you.
A packed dance floor.
Choose entertainment that really is you. Is this a theme or personal style unique to you both? Or will you choose an entertainer that really brings the energy you’d love for your floor.
Think timings, if you want energy from the get-go, make sure your guests are gathered in the places you want and the entertainment is ready to bring this.
Building up the vibe? Consider building up to the moments with live performers or roaming performers enticing guests straight to the floor.
Step 3: Source Your Fun
Choose a venue and suppliers who love to work with you, creating forever memorable experiences.
Share your thoughts and ideas and what they can do to bring this vision to life.
Think interactive spaces, garden games, treasure hunts, quizzes, live music, creative entertainment, and little surprises throughout the day.
Be the hosts with the most.
Step 4: Make It Yours
The best weddings feel personal.
Create your own playlists, personal touches such as handwritten notes, favourite photo place settings, share your love story in photos, or film, or even a printed daily news and choose a venue that gives you the flexibility to celebrate your own way and away from the ‘norm’
When your personalities shine through, your guests truly feel it, they’ll see your efforts and this auto lifts their energy back into your day.
Step 5: Enjoy the Vibe
Here’s a BIG one. When the big day arrives … hand over the details to an experienced team and focus on what matters most, celebrating!!!
No checking schedules.
No solving problems.
Just be present with all your favourites.
Your team will handle the behind-the-scenes magic, while you and your guests stay hands-free and full-feet-in on the dance floor.
