Hotel Weddings & Reception Flow

Plan the Space Around the Celebration

Protect the Dance Floor

Guest tables, DJ placement, bars, catering service, entrances, and the dance floor should work together so guests remain connected to the celebration and dancing feels like the natural center of the reception.

Coordinate the Timeline

The Graduate event team, culinary staff, planner, photographer, videographer, and DJ should work from the same confirmed timeline for introductions, dinner, speeches, first dances, cake cutting, and open dancing.

Plan Sound for Each Space

Ceremonies, cocktail hours, rooftop gatherings, and receptions can have different audio requirements. Planning those needs before the wedding helps create smooth transitions throughout the event.
