Read on for our guide to planning the Orlando golf course wedding of your dreams!
Start With the Date and Venue
The first thing you should always do is start by picking a few ideal dates that you'd like to have your wedding on. If you're selecting a date in one of the most popular wedding months, you'll want to get started ASAP.
Getting an early start here is important because it ensures that your ideal wedding venues are more likely to be available on the date of your choosing. Once you have a few dates in mind, give us a call and we'll talk about our availability and get you booked for the big day!
Set Your Wedding Budget
Setting a wedding budget is important because it will help you make other decisions down the line! Ultimately, it can help you prioritize if you find that you need to make some cuts here and there. (For example, you can always skip some of the guest favors and decor if it means buying the dress of your dreams.)
Tackle the Next Most Important Details: Photographers, Music, and More
Once you have a budget in mind, it's time to tackle the next most important details. Most of them involve booking your various wedding vendors, like your photographer and your wedding band or DJ. Once again, the earlier you start talking to your vendors, the more likely it is that they'll be able to help out on your wedding day.
When you use Falcon's Fire for your wedding venue, you don't have to worry about finding a third-party caterer! We offer several customizable menu packages to choose from. We promise that we'll help you come up with the perfect menu, no matter the size of your guest list, the dietary preferences, or the style of cuisine you want to serve.
Finally, the last big detail you'll want to nail down here is, of course, the wedding dress. We're the first to admit that this is the most exciting part of wedding planning!
Finalize Your Guest List and Send Out Save the Dates
Around the same time that you're nailing down the details with your vendors, you'll want to come up with a finalized guest list. Remember, it's not time to start thinking about things like seating arrangements--you'll need RSVPs before you do that.
Instead, go over your guest list with your partner and make sure that you have all of your bases covered. Are there any family members that are expecting an invitation that you left off the list? Any friends with serious partners who deserve an invite, as well?
Once you have your guest list finalized, you can create your save the dates. Nowadays, there are plenty of design options and printing services, both online and off, that will help you put together a gorgeous save the date. All that you need to do next is update your mailing addresses and get them in the mail!
(Remember, it's customary to send an additional invitation around four to six weeks before the actual wedding date. Save the dates are just a nice way to let people know that they're invited and give them a chance to make any necessary arrangements to attend.)
Play With the Fun Part: Aesthetics!
Finally, it's time to start playing around with the fun part: the aesthetics! This includes things like bouquets and flower arrangements, reception table accessories, and any other decor you want to use on your tables, chairs, and walls. If your budget hasn't left you with a ton of room, here, don't forget: our venues are beautiful, to begin with, and will leave your guests dazzled no matter how decked out!
Don't Be Afraid to Ask Us For Help
When you hold your wedding at Falcon's Fire, we make sure that no other events are booked at the same time. That way, we can ensure that you have all hands on deck for your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception.
In fact, we offer more than just a country club wedding. We'll even pair you up with an on-site wedding coordinator who is highly experienced in event planning to make sure that everything goes off without a hitch. When you're planning your golf course wedding, don't be afraid to reach out at any time to ask us for recommendations, assistance, and anything else that you need!
Let Everything Else Go
If it's not on this list, it's because it doesn't matter nearly as much as you might think. At the end of the day, your wedding is all about you and your partner--not anyone else. Don't sweat the small stuff and let us help you take care of any loose ends or details that you shouldn't have to worry about!
