Secrets to Planning a Wedding At Home By Katie Swift



At Home Weddings are a great way to share something personal, besides the wedding itself, and can also help save a little money. Here are some secrets of the pro's to help make your at home wedding one for the books. 

1.You may need a permit-many cities require a permit or have regulations regarding parties in residential neighborhoods. Double check ahead of time so you aren’t surprised on your big day. It also can’t hurt to let your neighbors know ahead of time.
2. Make sure there is enough space!
3. Plan for bad weather. If there isn’t enough space to move your event indoors, make plans for a tent to protect guests against rain, snow, wind and sun.
4. Make sure there are enough restrooms for your guests! No one likes to wait in line for 30 minutes, it may cause your guests to leave early.
5. Consider hiring a day-of coordinator. Even if you plan your own wedding, a day-of coordinator will ensure that your special day runs smoothly and will handle last minute emergencies. 


At home weddings are a great alternative to separate churches and reception venues, it can also be a great undertaking that should never be taken lightly.
