When is the right time to book the reception hall and church?
540755
A year is advance is a good "rule of thumb" but it doesn't hurt to call your church and see how far in advance they will book weddings.  As for reception halls, I would start looking now... have fun with it -you have the time to look at a lot of different places and start gathering information (ie - pricing, how many people the hall fits, food, etc).  If you have a favorite place, again, call and find out how far in advance they take reservations.  The one catch... most will ask for a non-refundable deposit so you have to make 100% sure that it is the place you want to have it.  Most will allow you to "hold" the place for a week or 2.  \n\nGo to theknot.com - it has a lot of great resources and gives you ideas for reception sites and other vendors in your local area. \n\nGood luck and congratulations!

Lots of places rent out space for wedding receptions: churches, fire halls, restaurants.... Look in the phone book. If it advertises they have room for banquets, they have room for weddings...

My fiance and I are going to do this. We live in Alabama but are going to get married in Tennessee so we are having a reception right after the wedding for everyone that comes and then we are having a reception in Alabama when we get back at a hotel's banquet hall. And then we are having a reception in Louisiana (that is where my fiance's family is from) at one of his aunt's houses. It is gonna be a blast!! One tip I can give you is to let all of the people in the different locations know what you are thinking about doing to see what their reactions are they might even volunteer their backyard or give you some great tips!

If you're prepared to get there early in the morning and queue for a few hours, you will get tickets for the outside courts, as those are sold only on the day (as opposed to in advance). Best time to go for those tickets is in the first 4 days when there are still lots of singles matches going on on the outside courts. \nIf you want show court tickets, the organisers hold a limited number that they also sell on the day and you will need to get there minimim 4.00pm the previous day and camp out for the night. \nEither way, queueing is a wonderful experience. You'll get to meet so many people from all walks of life and countries.

It actually depends on where in the world you are. If you're in the U.S. or anywhere in North America, that date would be February 10th, 2007. But if you're in England or India or at MOST English colonies (places that were once ruled by England), it would be October 2nd, 2007.\n\nThey should really pick one to be standard in order to prevent confusion.

The two of you need to sit each other down and reach an agreement because you want different things. Together I'm sure that you will be able to reach a compromise, the thing is if you have a church wedding and invite friends and family they will expect you to have a reception afterwards. Or why don't you suggest that instead of having a reception you just take a few close family members and friends to a restaurant and have a meal, which would be nice.  Also wedding dresses come in all shapes, and styles explain to him that you don't want a fancy wedding dress just something that is simple. After all it's your wedding day and as long as the two of you are happy with what you decide to do then that is the main thing. It's your wedding you don't necessarily have to have all the extras. Remember the most important thing is your life after the wedding

Anytime of the year! When you are ready, that's the right time. To get married sometimes you need to find the best time of the year due to weather consideration, honeymoon plan, etc. But a proposal? I would say anytime!

I do believe it depends on the state that you are getting married in, however, you can always call city hall, and find out what they would be willing, or not willing to do for you.  They may send out the license to you to fill out, and send back to them, maybe with copies of drivers license and such...On the other things, use your relatives to book for you....you don't have to be the one who books the church and such, and long as someone gives the money, that is why people hire a wedding planner most of the time.  So they do not have to do everything.

be more specific, what kind of reception site?

If you're a close friend or family member, you'll want to get there about 45-60 minutes before hand so you can get a good seat and actually see the ceremony.  If you have a different relationship then close friend or family of the couple, then getting to the ceremony at least 20-30 minutes ahead of the start time is acceptable.  If you are going to the reception, you'll want to arrive around the time scheduled.  Often the wedding party is still taking pictures or doing something on their way to the reception so it doesn't always start on time.  If dinner is being served at a specific time, get there about 15 minutes early to find your seat.  Hope that helps!

Best place to get married is a place that is accessible to the friends and family who hope will attend the ceremony.  Its important to celebrate your marriage, and not hold in in a beautiful place without your people there.\n\nHoneymoon is for a beautiful place that other people can't get to you.   What time of year?   I'd be tempted by some place like Costa Rica -- not as expensive as say Hawaii, or as crowded, but still full of beautiful places to stay, warm beaches, and enough interesting excursions (rainforests, volcanoes) to be memorable when you aren't simply relaxing together.

outside.  It makes for better pictures and video.  Also guest at your reception seem to be more active when they are outside.

It's all true. You want a half decent spot, get there at about 10am.\nSee you there.
