    Orange County Wedding Reception - choices


    If you are planning an Orange County Wedding Reception, you have a marvelous array of choices. Many couples opt for a traditional church wedding and then go on to the reception at a nearby hotel or restaurant; others get married at the reception venue, thus saving on traveling time and expenses, while still others prefer a beach wedding with an open-air reception.

    Let’s have a look at the beach wedding first. It is wise to check up with local authorities to make sure that it is allowed to have a reception on the beach. This is true whether it is a public or private beach, but especially for the former, since there might be limitations or you might need some form of permit. Given that you are OK to proceed, there are certain aspects of a beach wedding reception that you have to consider for an Orange County Wedding Reception>.

    Orange County Wedding Reception - options


    First, chairs do not sit well on sand. You will need some form of base flooring if the chairs are not to gradually sink! You might also need some form of canopy, or marquee, if the beach you have chosen is subject to wind, and that might depend on the time of year. The hurricane season is not advised as a good time for beach weddings! Other considerations for a beachOrange County Wedding Reception are that dress should preferably be casual since formal dress can be uncomfortable in the open if it sunny, and the parking is also frequently overlooked.

    Many beaches are not over-endowed with parking spots, so check that out as well. Restrooms are usually well used during an Orange County Wedding Reception, and you will have to make sure there are adequate facilities, whatever Orange Count beach you opt for. Portable cabins are one possibility. You must also have an indoor emergency back-up in the event of inclement weather, and many beach resorts also offer that facility. Catering is best carried out by professional caterers, and many outdoor receptions have been ruined by allowing Aunt Lizzie to do the food!

    Orange County Wedding Reception - venues


    Although the beach is a great place to get married, many couples prefer the reception to be indoors. Irrespective of where the actual ceremony takes place, Orange County has a great choice of hotels and restaurants suitable for a wedding reception. For example, Orange Hill Restaurant, in the city of Orange itself, is ideal for an Orange County Wedding Reception. Overlooking the valley below, the view is magnificent, and the food is American. This is a popular reception venue, but there are lots more. There the Laguna Cliffs Marriot Resort and the Montage resort, both at Laguna Beach, and the Anaheim Hills and Green River Golf Clubs, if you prefer something inland.

    There are many other restaurants, hotels and resorts available for an Orange County Wedding Reception, and an internet search should give you lots of ideas. You might prefer to have a professional wedding planner handle your wedding arrangements, and they tend to have a number of proven options that they can suggest.

    Orange County Wedding Reception - convenience


    The important things to keep in mind are that the venue for the Orange County Wedding Reception must be fairly close to the venue for the ceremony, since you don’t want to spend too long traveling; the parking arrangements must be adequate and it is also advisable to have somebody at the reception venue who is able to keep everything moving. Most formal venues will have somebody looking after you and making sure that nothing has been missed, though that is a function that would normally be carried out by a professional wedding advisor if you have one.

    Your Orange County Wedding Reception should run smoothly if you have planned it properly and taken all the advice you can get. Whatever the venue you choose it should be fabulous, since everybody will be trying to make your special day one to remember. Orange County has a sufficiently wide choice of reception venues to meet all your requirements, and ensure that you remember the day for all the best reasons.
