From the flowers and dresses to the wedding catering, you want to impress your guests and create moments to last a lifetime. From the experts at Marians Catering in Wahiawa, HI, here are some simple ways to make your reception a success.

3 Tips for Hosting a Memorable Wedding Reception

1. Make Your Guests Comfortable 

The best weddings make guests feel at home. Locally inspired, buffet-style dinners and vibrant, rotating appetizers are two easy ways to keep family and friends full and happy. Make things easier on attendees with children and guests with special dietary needs by offering a variety of snacks that can be enjoyed at their leisure.

Vegetarian and allergy-free options can be added to your meal selections—just talk to your wedding catering team about any preferences when you’re designing your menu.

2. Add Your Personal Flair 

Make your reception as one-of-a-kind as your love story by adding personal flair to favors, food, and beverages. Hawaiian favorites like Kalua Pig and Lomi Lomi Salmon will make your reception unique to the islands. You can also create a signature cocktail for the reception, and hire a live band to energize the dance floor.

3. Offer Late Night Amenities 

If your party will last late into the night, offer your guests late night snacks and drinks like coffee, finger sandwiches, sushi, and ice cream. Some Oahu couples design a lounge station with couches and chaise chairs for end-of-the-night chats, while a surprise comedy show or a cozy acoustic set ends the night perfectly for adult guests.
