Some Ohio wedding function providers will offer free honeymoon giveaways, and much more. One hotel that is highly rated for its wedding functions provides a free pre-reception questionnaire allowing you to define very clearly exactly what you seek in your wedding. Once the organisers receive this they then are able to come back to you with their ideas to match your needs very closely. This, and a detailed phone consultation, allows you to customize your reception or event music choices well ahead of the day.

Take care to select your reception entertainment carefully. Your DJ for example can work wonders toward making your wedding fun and keeping everyone on the dance floor. Choose a DJ for his ability to adapt to the likes of the guests, and they will thank you again, and again, for making the wedding day so memorable.

A truly creative wedding coordinator will also be a great investment and help you every step of the way. A professional wedding planner can make your wedding day an experience to remember.

One DJ we know works the event with a clever selection of novelty music and old dance standards to bring the Disco through the evening to a climax when all are drawn in. The guests gather around as the couple dance to "their" song, and old and young couples then gain the opportunity to fill the floor for some final romantic ballads before the bride and groom are dramatically whisked away in their limousine to start their honeymoon. A good master of ceremonies or band leader will be really good at asking your parents, your fiance's parents and the rest of the wedding party to join in. For the evening to go well it is always best if as many people as possible will be staying overnight in the hotel. To entice them to stay, the quality of the guest accommodation is very important. Let all your guests know where you have rooms blocked, and tell them well in advance, before they have made other arrangements for that day.

Bar timings are important too and the DJ will need to understand your alcohol policy.

Prices from your entertainer or DJ may vary slightly from his or her quote because of equipment costs, music library, lighting equipment and what the hotel is willing to provide. In Ohio it has been reported that the average price range for a DJ is $700.00 up to $1,400.00 for a 4 hr set.

Some hoteliers are very keen to attract your wedding event, and one was recently offering an exclusive Photo-Video CD-DVD provided for you to view your wedding photographs while still relaxing on your honeymoon. A search for the Cleveland wedding photography website at would allow you to view their offer. They say that they have an unpretentious documentary style. It might be just right for you.

One wedding host which is bang up to date provides a video booth during the reception, where guests may record their anecdotes about the bride and groom. Ask your wedding party ahead of time if anyone would like to speak, or record their piece like this. Since it's a casual event, the more reticent who would be too timid to speak, can still share some fun stories about the bride and groom without all the pressure of speaking at the wedding.

A well known service is provided by Ohio Wedding Chapels. Their services are perfect to give you a memorable event to cherish forever. Ohio Wedding Chapels promise that they won't fail to cast their magical charm on the two of you as you stand on your new threshold of life. If this wedding will be the second or third time around it is likely that a church wedding is not for you, and a chapel alternative may then be the perfect option.

Choose a good tasting cake and it makes a statement about your skill as a hostess. The wedding cake demonstrates that you honor tradition.

Our friends the Bayles were married just six months and one day after they met. For their wedding, they decided to decorate their own cake in a manner that would have the most meaning for them. Now, while it is true that the result was far from professional looking, it was a good idea and every one of the guests did make a point of admiring it in a way they would never have done for a more accomplished professional cake.

Whatever happens when you choose an Ohio wedding choosing the venue the menu, seating layouts, photographer, videographer, and DJ should always be a pleasant experience. Remember, the entertainment you choose will make the reception memorable, and your photos and video are memories of your wedding day that will outlast everything else when your day is over.
