Planning and guest experience

Confirm the current event operator, included spaces, golf-cart or course access, guest parking, accessibility, sound, catering, and weather plan. Keep the ceremony-to-reception transition short enough that guests are never waiting for photographs.

Light and photography

The most useful portrait light arrives at the open edges of the course. A short golden-hour break adds range while the ceremony greenery and active reception still carry the narrative.

Questions to confirm

  • Confirm the current capacity and floor plan for your guest count
  • Walk the guest route from arrival through the end of the night
  • Check access, parking, sound, weather, and the real end time
  • Keep portrait travel shorter than the social time it replaces
