When you are contracting for your wedding food and beverages, think about the time of the year you will be hosting your wedding.
With the dog days of summer upon us, it is important to remember that your guests will be thirsty, due to the weather. When it’s very hot, you want to ensure that no one is waiting for a drink- whether alcoholic or non. Be certain that the venue that you are using for your reception is prepared with enough bartenders! Be ready to serve lots of choices from water, to lemonade, ice tea to alcoholic cocktails and have some light finger food on hand too, prior to your reception dinner.

High heat and humidity can dehydrate both you and your guests quickly. Trays of water during your ceremony and plenty of liquid throughout the reception will help keep everyone comfortable and cool. This measure is extremely important during any high heat advisory days when it could be uncomfortable for anyone with respiratory problems or the elderly.
Remember to offer your vendors and officiant some liquor-free libations too! They will be working hard for you too! Lack of liquid can cause lethargy and confusion and the last thing you want is a supplier who is not at the top of their game, due to the weather.
Leave nothing to the last minute because you will really want and need to unwind and gather your thoughts the day before your wedding.
