About Me

Finding a new date night restaurant

We have a busy life as a married couple, but we still like to have a regular date night once a week. Our favourite restaurant is shutting down, so we are on the hunt for a new date night restaurant. We like to try new and different foods but are pretty flexible as to what type of foods the restaurant serves. We also love great service and it's nice to find a restaurant that treats us as special customers whenever we come in. This blog is all about our search for the perfect date night restaurant and has reviews of some of our favourite new finds.

Happily Ever After | 3 Clever Considerations To Ensure A Well-Planned Restaurant Wedding Reception

Many restaurants have special areas to accommodate wedding and party functions. If you have a small guest list, this is a great way to take the burden of finding a reception venue off your shoulders, especially when you have a favourite restaurant or cuisine. A restaurant reception will handle seating and wedding catering, so you just need to worry about your guest list and décor. This guide equips you with nifty ideas to make your restaurant reception unforgettable.

Plan Well In Advance And Establish Your Guest List Based On Seating

If you have a favourite restaurant or cuisine, then make sure you plan well in advance because popular restaurants tend to be booked up for a variety of functions during peak season. Many restaurants are particularly busy around holidays and summer months, so you should book well in advance to ensure you get the day you desire in your preferred venue. Many bridal couples make the mistake of assuming that restaurant function venues are easily available and wait till the last minute, only to end up with nothing. Before making the booking, find out how many people the function venue can accommodate. You don't want too many or too few people because your wedding will either look too crowded or too empty.

Establish Your Décor Based On Your Wedding Theme

One of the biggest perks of wedding functions at restaurants is the opportunity to incorporate less décor than normal. This is because most restaurants already come with some form of décor, so you just need to find a way to enhance what exists with your planned wedding theme. For instance, floral centrepieces with ribbon hangings and soft candlelight can make restaurant wedding functions enchanting. You simply need to choose floral and ribbon colours to match your wedding colours. If you're hiring a wedding planner, make sure you take them to the venue a couple of times, so that they can plan the décor based on the venue and your theme.

Plan Your Wedding Catering Thoughtfully 

You need to consider what type of wedding you desire at the restaurant venue. For instance, if you want a more formal affair, then sit-down plating is a good option. But if you're looking for something more informal, then a buffet-style meal is a great way for guests to mingle with each other. You'll also want to meet with the chef of the restaurant to finalise the wedding catering menu. Don't hesitate to consider some chef suggestions because some special dishes may work well for your wedding reception.
