Deciding on the entertainment you are going to provide your guests (and yourselves) with during your wedding is very much reliant on the theme and the venue of the wedding itself. You need to consider logistics and see if the ten piece band you were initially thinking of hiring fits on the tiny stage provided at the venue of your choice.

Apart from space, even the style of the wedding can pretty much determine the type of entertainment you provide. For instance if you are going to have an intimate lunch at a fancy restaurant, then you wouldn’t attempt to hire a full blown band with acoustic drums. Rather you would tend to go for an acoustic duo or trio which generally consist of vocals, piano or guitar and percussion.

One of the things you need to make sure of when booking a venue which will host some form of wedding entertainment is that of checking if there are any noise restrictions. This generally happens when the venue booked is within a hotel. In this way, the hotel secures that the people currently staying there have a pleasant stay which is not disrupted by loud music during the late hours of the night. Moreover, checking the exact time you need to turn down the loudness of your music or switch it off completely is a must. This depends very much on the location of the venue, especially if it is found in the middle of a village with houses surrounding it.

Truth of the matter is, Malta boasts a large number of different musicians, bands, choirs and djs that can make your special day even more special. Therefore, if you’re thinking about organising your wedding in Malta, rest assured you will find the right entertainment of your choice!

Having a wedding in Malta with all your Maltese relatives brings efficient food distribution to the top of your priorities on your wedding day.

My Wedding Planner also offers to set-up and dismantle the decor within the venue, provide assistance to the bride while getting ready (during dress up, make-up, etc.), welcome foreign guests both at the airport, as well as at the hotel, provide gift hampers, plan Toastmaster/Emcee services and provide a Wedding Designer or Stylist.

Finally, My Wedding Planner also attempts to offer couples the opportunity to carry out a rehearsal of the civil or church ceremony. When it comes to a church ceremony, the possibility of a rehearsal depends totally on the approval of the church venue and the priest.

It wouldn't be the first time a bride asks someone she trusts and loves to be her bridesmaid and something happens that causes the bride and her chosen bridesmaid to drift apart. This is why you need to make sure the people you're asking to be part of your bridal party are there to stay. But how could you know this for sure? What do you need to ask yourself?

First you need to make sure you know why you want these people in your bridal party. While some options are obvious, especially when involving your sister or sisters-in-law, others might seem forced. You might believe that because you've known someone for a long time, or because they chose you to be part of their bridal party, you owe it to them to include them in your own wedding preparations. At the end of the day, this is YOUR wedding day and so it is YOUR choice as to whom will get the chance to accompany you on your special day.

Moreover, when including your friends as part of the bridal party, you need to analyse their character and how able they are to handle stress and let go when an argument occurs. If you know someone is hot headed, has a tendency of bailing on you, or does not have the slightest of clues as to how to compromise, then you might want to opt out of choosing them to be part of your bridal party. On top of this, if you can tell someone won't be in your life for the long haul, then do you really want them to be in all the preparations, photos and videos of your special day? But then again, many times it is hard to predict the future.

Another thing you need to make sure of is this: do you think all the members of the bridal party can get along together? If you know two or more of the members don't agree on anything and just love to pick at each other, then it might be an option to opt out of having both of them in the group. Additionally, do take note on the groom's wishes and make sure the members of the bridal party get along with him well enough.

Finally, make sure that the people you choose will be willing to contribute to the planning and can help you out when you get stuck. If you know someone won't manage to be a helping hand, you might want to look elsewhere.
