Part 3: Organizing the Logistics of Your Backyard Waterfront Wedding
Congratulations! You've chosen the perfect backyard waterfront venue (we definitely hope you chose Island View Waterfront) and designed your dream wedding. Now it's time to organize the logistics of your special day.
In Part 3 of our series, we'll guide you through the process of organizing the logistics of your backyard waterfront wedding.
Creating a Wedding Day Timeline:
A detailed wedding day timeline ensures that everything runs smoothly and that everyone knows what to expect on your big day. Island View includes a timeline in the curated resource guide for all couples but here are some tips to help you create a wedding day timeline:
Coordinate with Vendors: Communicate with your vendors to coordinate the timing of their services, such as catering, music, and photography. Make sure everyone is on the same page about the timeline.
Consider Ceremony and Reception Timing: Allocate enough time for your ceremony and reception, and make sure you have enough time for everything you have planned, such as speeches and dances.
Allocate Time for Photos and Special Moments: Schedule time for taking photos with your wedding party and family, and make sure to include special moments, such as your first dance, in your timeline.
Coordinating Vendors and Services:
Selecting and coordinating vendors and services can be overwhelming, but with careful planning, you can make sure everything runs smoothly. Here are some tips to help you coordinate vendors and services:
Selecting and Communicating with Vendors: Choose vendors that align with your vision and budget. Communicate your expectations and any special requests to ensure everything is just right. Island View's extensive vendor list is ever growing with amazing industry people who will help you have the wedding day of your dreams.
Organizing Catering and Bar Services: Coordinate with your caterer to ensure that the food and drink service runs smoothly. Make sure you have enough food and drink for all of your guests. Bonus, Island View has in-house catering and bar service, making your planning easier.
Arranging Transportation and Parking: Arrange transportation for your wedding party and guests, and make sure to provide ample parking for your guests.
Handling the Details:
It's the small details that can make a big impact on your wedding day. Here are some tips to help you handle the details:
Managing Guest List and Invitations: Create a guest list and send out invitations in a timely manner. Keep track of RSVPs and any special needs or accommodations your guests may require.
Preparing for Inclement Weather: Consider renting a tent or other shelter in case of inclement weather. Have a backup plan in case of rain or other weather-related issues. Island View has partnered with amazing tent & rental companies so you can rest assured you will be covered.
Organizing Setup and Cleanup: Coordinate with your venue to ensure that the setup and cleanup run smoothly. Make sure you have enough help to set up and clean up after the wedding. (Just for good measure, that amenity is included in Island View's venue rental).
In conclusion, organizing the logistics of your backyard waterfront wedding requires careful planning, communication with vendors, and attention to detail. By following these tips, you can create a stress-free and unforgettable wedding day.
