What practical aspects should be considered when planning a brunch wedding?

Planning a brunch wedding is a great opportunity to create a unique and memorable experience for you and your guests. This type of wedding offers a relaxed atmosphere and a charming setting, perfect for celebrating love in an informal way. In this article, we discuss some practical aspects to consider when planning your big day.

Timing is everything

A brunch wedding is usually held in the morning or early afternoon. Consider starting the ceremony around 10:00 or 11:00, followed by brunch. This will give you and your guests plenty of time to prepare in the morning and enjoy the day.

Menu with variety

The brunch menu should be a mix of breakfast and lunch options. If you choose to hold your brunch wedding with us at IVA Conference Centre, you can collaborate with Grodan restaurant to create a menu to suit all tastes. Remember to include both hot and cold dishes, as well as vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.

Unique beverage choices

Traditional brunch drinks like mimosas can add a festive touch. Consider having a 'mimosa bar' where guests can mix their own drinks, something that can definitely be a unique experience for your guests. Don't forget to offer non-alcoholic options such as freshly squeezed juices and coffee.

Dress code and decoration

Include a dress code such as 'garden party' on the invitations to give guests an idea of what to wear. For decorations, focus on bright colours, flowers and greenery that suit the brunch time. IVA Conference Centre can help you to create suitable decorations.

Music and entertainment

Choose music that is suitable for both breakfast and lunch. Music that

• jazz
• soul
• dummy
• classic

can create a varied and pleasant atmosphere. The IVA Conference Centre offers modern technology for music and entertainment, including a professional sound and light rig.

Utilise the daylight

One of the advantages of a brunch wedding is the natural daylight. Plan for a wedding photo shoot in the morning to take advantage of the beautiful light and romantic atmosphere.

Time planning

Create a detailed schedule for the day. As brunch weddings are often shorter than traditional evening weddings, it's important to plan every moment carefully to make the most of the time. You can also have a toastmaster or toastmistress keep track of the schedule and communicate it to guests throughout the wedding so you can focus on each other and the celebration.

By considering these practical aspects, you can create a memorable brunch wedding that will give you and your guests an unforgettable experience. With careful planning and thoughtfulness, you can ensure that your big day is just as amazing as you dreamed it would be!
