The best wedding receptions aren't always the ones The best wedding receptions aren't always the ones that run perfectly to schedule. They're the ones where guests feel connected, conversations flow and the dance floor fills without anyone having to force it.⁠ ⁠ Wedding DJ and MC Jono Leahy of @tubbzmix knows a thing or two about making that happen. Today on Polka Dot Wisdom he shares how to build a reception around atmosphere and guest experience rather than a rigid run sheet.⁠ ⁠ Worth a read if you're in the thick of planning. Link in bio.⁠ ⁠ Photography: @white_shutter_photography⁠ ⁠ [Image description: A bride in a sleek white wedding gown dances amongst her guests on a lively reception dance floor, surrounded by warm smiles, conversation and celebration.

What is it about a wedding venue that makes it fee What is it about a wedding venue that makes it feel right for you? ⁠ ⁠ While inclusion lists and pretty views are obviously important, there are other things that affect how a venue feels. The atmosphere for one! The energy from the team behind the magic, or even the level of support you'll have.⁠ ⁠ Karen from @pottersreceptions spoke about the conversations couples should have before booking their venue, and why the experience itself is just as important as the venue. ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠ If you’re currently venue hunting, this one’s worth the read Dotties!
