Tips To Have An Amazing Korakia Pensione Wedding

If you're wanting to have an amazing Korakia Pensione Wedding, check out some of these tips!

Hire A Wedding Planner/Coordinator

Since this Palm Springs wedding venue does not offer day-of coordinators, I highly suggest investing in your wedding planner or coordinator. This will ensure that your wedding day is running a whole lot smoother and you don't have to worry about all of the normal wedding-day stresses. This is the moment you have been dreaming of and the last thing you want to be doing is worrying about your big day. Your wedding planner helps keep everything on track, helps with setting up decor, works with your other vendors, and is your point of contact on the day of your wedding. Hiring a wedding planner/coordinator will essentially save you come the wedding day.

Focus on Your Wedding Guest Experience

While of course, it is your day, after all, you also want to make sure that you focus on your wedding guest experience as well. Make sure that throughout the wedding planning process as well as the day of your wedding, you are focusing on the best ways to make your wedding day an enjoyable experience for your guests. This will not only *wow* them, but will have everyone talking about it for years to come.

Give Practical Wedding Favors

How many times have you gotten a wedding favor and have either A.) lost it immediately, B.) tossed it as soon as you got home, or C.) have it sitting in a random drawer in your house. You don't want to spend all this money on wedding favors just to have the majority of your wedding guests not use them. Instead of thinking of "what will look cute", focus on what is the most practical and reasonable option. Things that your wedding guests would love AND use are the key to nailing this and your wedding guest experience!
