For a Nashville wedding, for example, Sarah encourages her clients to incorporate live country or bluegrass during cocktail hour and to serve local favorites as appetizers, like fried green tomatoes or mini BBQ sliders. Get creative with your bar options and see if there are any local breweries or distilleries to sample from also.
Really give your guests a feel of your destination location by making your wedding favors align or by providing welcome bags.
"We always include a note from the bride and groom welcoming them to Nashville with a list of fun activities for them to do on their downtime, as well as the wedding weekend festivities, including time, place, attire, and any parking instructions or transportation information that will make their weekend more enjoyable," she said.
Your guests did make the trip to be a part of your special day, so show your appreciation by making it an experience worthwhile!
