hi, has anyone had their solemimzation before the start of their banquet on the stage infront of all their guest... will this prolong the dinner?

any tips to share??
 


so yours will be e same venue? or different?

my hub n i intend to hold it on e stage right after our 1st march in in front of all our guest. need somenadvuce fm fellow brides...
 
Within the hotel. Just nxt to the banquet area. Coz is just open up to make it a bigger rm.. hahaa.. i also nd advice! Mine has to sign from 7pm onwards.. kinda worried dk whether dinner will be delayed not..
 
yes. i had the same question. dont know if dinner will be delayed or not.

maybe you can consider holding your solemnization within the banquet itself? u can save time by getting ur guest to move to 2 rooms??
 
Htb doesnt want to do it on the stage. My package includes a rom dress and will have to change out of it after solemnisation. Im worried too! We need someone to help us.. haha
 
Most hotels will provide a separate function room ( complimentary) for ROM use, and usually held 2hrs before the banquet starts. This way, it's more private. I only invite close relatives and friends to attend the solumnization and holy matrimony.
 
I'm doing it during the banquet, not sure how it goes (2 more weeks left!) Banquet side says it has been done before, some guests feedback it might be boring.
But I'm trying to keep it within 30mins if possible. Wedding coordinator says should be okay.
First march in with dad, then sign ROM cert then 2nd march in as a married couple.
Cocktails will be from to 6pm-7pm. Hopefully my guests can start feasting at 7.30pm.
 
great! do share your experience with us after your wedding! congrats on your wedding too!

have fun and be a beautiful bride!
 
thinking of solemnising before the lunch banquet...not sure want to do it privately in a function room or with guests around...any idea how long is a lunch banquet? does it start from 12pm or 1pm and till?
 
I had mine in a function room before the lunch. banquet
They opened up 2 rooms for me and it can take up a capacity of 100pax.
Advise you to do a headcount, how many would you want to invite for the solumnization.

My holy matrimony and solumnisation starts at 11am.
Ends by 11.45pm

Followed by tea ceremony on my side of the family.

Then I head up to the room to change by 12pm

Lunch at hotel usually start at 1.15pm even though we will print the card as 12pm commence.

Lunch ends by 3.30-4pm latest . I have 25 tables.
 
From 12 to 1.15pm, I had a small dessert bar to entertain those early birds.
That day, everything went well. No rush. Smooth. We even have time to snap table booth for every tables. Initially, we are worried we have no time for table booth shots. But it went on well. Every table get a chance to choose their props and we snapped pretty fun shots for every table.

Hi, which photo company did u use? I've never heard of a table booth shot. Sounds unique!
 
I just did mine! Solemnisation before dinner banquet. They placed a long and slim table on the stage for 5 pple.
The only issue I had was, I was too nervous and I signed strangely. My hubby on the spot commented, "hey that's not your signature" :oops:

Half an hour, all done. :)
The only issue I had was about 30-40% guests were late. For me, it is alright. :) The signing wasnt entertaining anyway.

Everything happens back-end, moving and shifting out the stage off the stage. Banquet staff were very helpful.
 
hi bearine, are you able to share your dinner banquet itinerary with me??

is it me over-worrying? but im just afraid my guest will be bored and also e banquet will end really very late with the ROM on stage..

He is a professional photographer. Very patient and helpful and friendly.
Instead of the standard table to table shooting, he provides very interesting and unique props for the guests to put it on during the table shooting. All my guests were very excited and happy.
I love all the table shots. Full of colours and fun. Try him.
 
For mine:

6pm - Cocktail
6.30pm - done with makeup, went down to welcome guests.
6.45pm - Guests to be seated, practicing how to march in with gown. *Bad experience, keep tripping for the front, maybe i'm too short for the gown.*
7pm sharp - 1st march-in
7.10pm - Simple speech
7.20pm - Saying vows + Signing
7.30pm - Stage photo with pastor
7.40pm - Banquet begins
8pm - After 2nd dish, went to change gown
8.10pm - Bride done changing, groom very slow
8.30pm - Went down for 2nd march-in (before march-in played childhood montage and morning montage)
8.45pm - Cake cutting, champagne pouring + toast, continue serving dish
9pm - eat 1 dish, starts photo-taking throughout.
10pm - VIP table to receive desserts first then wait outside to thank guests.
By 10.30pm my guests all left.

Only 10 tables btw.
 
2 ways to do soleminization on the day itself

1) if hold at hotel, can either do earlier at a private room or on stage. start ur soleminization earlier. e.g dinner starts at 7pm, soleminization at 6pm. my cousin did that
2) if at restaurant, do it on stage.

If not 3rd option, for me which i did, i soleminization on a seperate date at the rom centre and lunch for those who came.
 
I intend to do my soleminzation on stage at the restaurant too. So first walk-in with father, solemnization, sign, walk out as married couple. then walk in again as Mr and Mrs.

For the guests, they are seated at the tables? Wondering if it makes it hard for them to see the stage?

Yes all would be seated at the table. I find it does not matter if they really can hear or see. Is just a short while only. I attend my cousin wedding at hotel the table I'm sitting is far from the stage. Can't hear clearly and see too. But does not matter. As most of the relatives would be chit chatting.
