Key Tips for Planning Your Big Day

Planning a wedding can be a little overwhelming for some brides. Here at The Historic Pinecrest, we want to help make the planning process as easy as possible! One of the first steps in the planning process is to choose a venue. Our beautiful wedding venue near Colorado Springs offers the ideal backdrop for your wedding day. If you've already booked your big day with us, take a look at the tips provided below to make your wedding planning experience a little less hectic!

Estimate Guest Count

Before you can even book a venue, it's important to get a good idea of the number of guests you plan to invite. This number can actually help you narrow down which wedding venue is going to work for your big day. While there is no guarantee, about 30% of the guests you invite will not be able to make it to help you celebrate.

Create a Wedding Binder

A notebook or binder filled with everything wedding can help keep all of your plans and ideas in one place. From to-do lists to service provider contracts, it's important to have all of this documentation handy, for planning your big day.

Book Blackout Dates Early

If you plan to get married on a highly sought after date, book your wedding as far out as possible. This can help you ensure you get the venue and service providers you wish for. It's important to get your major wedding providers lined out, to ensure they are available for your date.

Block Off Hotel Rooms

As soon as you set your wedding date and get a venue locked down, try to reserve a block of hotel rooms at a nearby hotel. This can help give your out-of-town guests a good idea of where to stay, especially if they are not familiar with the area. Try to keep price in mind when blocking off rooms - take the budget of your wedding guests into consideration, when selecting a hotel.

Allow Time to Set Up

Plan ahead for set-up time prior to your wedding. Whether it's the day before or the morning of your big day, make sure you have plenty of help to decorate your wedding ceremony and reception space for your big day!

Enlist the Troops

Be sure you have plenty of friends and family members on hand to help with your entire wedding process. Whether your bridesmaids want to help create decorations for your big day or your family members want to help you decorate and set up at your wedding venue, ensure you have plenty of hands on deck to allow your wedding to go off without a hitch!

Now that you know all these ways to make the process of planning a wedding a bit easier, you're ready to get started! When you book your wedding with The Historic Pinecrest, you can rest assured that our venue will provide a breathtaking backdrop for your ceremony, reception, and everything in between. We look forward to helping you make your big day just how you've always imagined!

Tell Your Love Story with The Perfect Wedding Songs

Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional ... it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it ... - Unknown 

Just like your brain recalls memories from specific scents, your brain will recall memories, even many years later, associated with songs. Choosing your wedding songs is a special way to incorporate sentimental details into your wedding, but also save that same sentiment to enjoy years later. At the Historic Pinecrest, we know that planning your wedding can contain so many details, but that's why we want to help you cover everything. Here are a few of the ways you can choose your songs, and what types of songs you'll need.

Important Songs To Have

As you plan your wedding songs, there are key parts of your wedding that will need music. For those areas, make sure you cover any specific songs you want to be played. For all of the other areas, allow your DJ to get creative, and if you have certain songs you want to be scattered around, let them know. Here are a few important areas you'll want to specify songs for:

Processional

Many couples choose songs that are sentimental for this part of the wedding. This will be the part of the wedding where your bridal party and you walk down the aisle. You can opt for traditional songs like "Here Comes the Bride," or Pachelbel's Canon in D. You can also choose songs from your favorite movie's soundtrack, or your favorite love song without the words.

Recessional, after I Do's Mr & Mrs

This will be the song that you and your party walk back down the aisle to. You can repeat the songs that you walked up the aisle to, or you can choose fun and upbeat songs. 

Entrance Into the Reception for the Bridal Party and Mr & Mrs

Like the recessional song, you'll want something fun, upbeat, and exciting for this part of the wedding! This is where the bridal party and you and your new spouse get to make your fun exciting entrance!

First Dance

Just because you know you need to pick out a first dance song doesn't make it any easier. If you and your significant other don't have a special song already, there are hundred's of lists you can choose from. You can choose a song based off of the lyrics, or even use the season to choose a song.

Father/Daughter, Mother/Son Dance

There are many traditional songs you can choose from. Some are sentimental tear-jerkers, some can be funny and personal. Let your relationship guide your choice, and don't be afraid to be original.

Your Colorado Springs Wedding

From small weddings to large, choosing the songs for your wedding can be a fun part of your planning! While you're addressing and stamping the invitations you can turn on and online radio, select the love song channel and make notes on the songs you love. If you're looking for the perfect venue in Colorado Springs, we have a breathtaking chapel and a spacious event center where you can dance the night away.
