Sunday Weddings

We receive quite a few inquiries about Sunday weddings. Most brides are interested in the great savings that many Sunday weddings bring; but many do not have creative ways to "do" a Sunday wedding. Below are just a few ways to schedule a Sunday wedding.

Think about having a small ceremony with your closest friends and relatives on Saturday. You can have them all over after the ceremony for a small barbeque or intimate dinner. On Sunday host a formal reception brunch. This will save you tons of money. Brunch entrees are typically much less expensive than a dinner entree. This will also extend your wedding fesitivies to two wonderful days of celebrations.

Speaking of brunch receptions, if you don't have the time to celebrate on two days, have both your ceremony and reception on a Sunday and consider a brunch reception. We have seen some beautiful Sunday weddings with string quartets, beautiful dessert buffets, and stunning day-time views of the park.

We also have quite a few night-time receptions on a Sunday. With this we recommend sending out a save-the-date right away with the date clearly written so your guests may plan accordingly. Most of our Sunday night receptions occur in the summer. If you have guests that are teachers or that have children, they will appreciate not having to go to school the next day!
Regardless of the day you choose to have your wedding, it is sure to be a wonderful celebration!

These are a Few of our Favorite Things

In the world of weddings ... These are a few of our favorite things...

The small details

The perfect dress
The raw emotion
A spalsh of color

A candid moment
A generational celebration

And beautiful memories.
Congratulations Josh and Jennifer. 6.12.10

Summer Weddings

We are quickly approaching July which means it's getting hot out! We have quite a few wedding ceremonies here at Veterans Terrace - many out on our beauitful Memorial Terrace.

If you are like many brides that want to have that beautiful outdoor ceremony, you may want to take a few things into consideration.

1.) Make absolute certain you have a inclement weather back-up plan. Luckily here at Veterans Terrace we do have three different spaces as a potential back-up to inclement weather.

2.) Make sure your guests are aware of the outside venue. They may not want to come in a full suit knowing it might be sticky outside.

3.) Check out the outdoor venue to see if there are any ideal shade spots. If you have any elderly guests or young children at the event, your ushers may want to make those guests aware of the shaded locations.

4.) Consider out-door friendly wedding favors. We have seen Chinese paper umbrellas to shade guests from the sun, water bottles with the couples name imprinted on the label, ceremony programs that look like a paper fan, and even sun screen / bug spray with the couples date imprinted on the bottles.

An outdoor wedding can be beautiful. By taking a few small steps to ensure everyone is comfortable and happy, your event should go off without a hitch. Most importantly, don't forget to take advantage of the amazing photo opportunities a natural setting will provide!

Let the Wedding Season Begin!

On April 10, 2010 we hosted the first wedding of our official "Wedding Season 2010". From now till December we have at least one wedding every weekend. Many of those weekends we have multiple weddings! We are honored to be a part of our couples' special day!

Please enjoy some pictures from our first wedding of the season! Thank you to
Matt Mason Photography for providing these pictures!

The couple had a simple tree with pictures of their relatives on their wedding days.

The groom made the place card holders - which also doubled as beverage coasters for guests to take home and enjoy.

The couple had a chocolate bar with delicious chocolates for guests to enjoy.

The event had a Spring flavor to it.

The couple chose to do a Sweetheart table at their head table. The couple sits at a small table for themselves and the rest of the wedding party still sits on either side of them.

The dance floor before it was packed with dancers!

Congratulations to Mandi and Paul! We wish nothing but the best for you in your future.
