Let’s be honest—planning a wedding in Cincinnati is stressful enough without adding multiple locations into the mix. But if you’re facing the challenge of navigating multiple wedding locations, don’t worry. We’ve got your back with five tips that’ll help you breeze through your day like a pro (and keep your sanity intact).
Book Extra Time with Your Photographer (Because Things Will Go Wrong) with Multiple Locations
First and foremost, let’s talk about your timeline. When you’re navigating multiple wedding locations, it’s crucial to book extra time with your photographer. After all, that “quick” 10-minute photo session might turn into 45 minutes because Uncle Bob wandered off or your veil decided to have a diva moment. Therefore, a little buffer time can save the day.
Map Out Travel Time and Then Double It (Seriously, Do It)
Additionally, if Google Maps says it’s a 15-minute drive between locations, laugh in its face and plan for 30 minutes. Why? Because when you’re navigating multiple wedding locations, something will inevitably slow you down—be it traffic, road construction, or your cousin who just has to stop for coffee. Hence, planning for extra time is a must.
Keep One Location’s Décor Simple (Unless You’re a Masochist)
Next, let’s talk about décor. While it’s tempting to go all out, remember you’re managing multiple venues. So, keep the décor at one location simple. If you’re really set on going big, at least consider hiring someone to handle the cleanup like Kathy at Your Dream Day. This way, you can focus on enjoying your day rather than stressing about logistics with multiple wedding day locations.
Find a Portrait Spot en Route (Because Who Needs More Driving?) While Navigating Multiple Wedding Locations
Similarly, to save time (and sanity), choose a portrait location that’s on the way from one venue to the next. Not only does this keep everyone in a good mood, but it also ensures you spend less time driving all over town. As you’re navigating multiple locations, this strategy will make your day flow much more smoothly.
Get Transportation for the Bridal Party (So No One Gets Lost or Hits the Bar Early)
Finally, keeping your bridal party together is like herding cats, especially when navigating multiple wedding locations. To avoid anyone getting lost or, worse, starting the party without you, arrange transportation. Whether it’s a limo, shuttle, or party bus, ensuring everyone stays together will keep the day on track and everyone’s spirits high.
Planning a wedding with multiple locations doesn’t have to be a nightmare. With these tips, you’ll be navigating multiple wedding locations like a seasoned pro, making it look easy, and most importantly, enjoying every moment.
