Surprise Wedding!




Recently, this planner met with a couple who said "We don't want to go through all the drama of wedding planning." and "We want a nice, simple wedding.' My suggestion was a Surprise Wedding.

Guests will receive an invitation that simply reads "please join us for a special evening" inviting them to a local upscale restaurant.

Upon arrival, they will be shown to a beautifully decorated private dining room where they will be greeted by the bridal couple. Our groom plans to wear a gorgeous suit by Armani and our lovely bride plans to wear a fabulous cocktail dress by Stenay.

Waiters will circulate, serving champagne and appetizers while music plays softly in the background. As cocktail hour winds down, the guests will be asked to take their seats; at that time, the bride, groom and officiant will meet at the front of the room and announce the true purpose behind the evening's festivities. Vows and rings will then be exchanged in a short and touching ceremony.

After which, the wedding feast will be served, with guests choosing their own meals from a preselected menu. For dessert, the wedding cake will be brought into the dining room on a wheeled cart.

No pre-wedding drama, no fuss, no muss - just a happy couple and happy guests and, happily ever after.
