Choice of venue, and therefore comfort and atmosphere, is a crucial consideration, as is the choice of caterer.

One other sure-fire way found of making the vast majority of guests happy however is to hire live wedding bands.

This way you can work with the band to create a musical programme that will provide the right mood and feel, from your walk down the aisle to the last dance at the reception.
