Ceremonies in the Round

Imagine a wedding ceremony where every guest feels like they have the best seat in the house. A ceremony where the couple is surrounded by a sea of loved ones, their presence palpable from every angle - this is the magic of a wedding ceremony in the round! Instead of the usual rows of chairs facing one direction, your guests will encircle you and your partner, creating a cozy, inclusive vibe where everyone feels like they’re part of the action. It’s a setup that brings everyone closer together, literally and figuratively :)
Tips to Nail It
Pick the Perfect Spot: Choose a venue with an open space, ideal for setting up a circle of chairs.
Center of Attention: Keep the center simple but stylish and keep in mind guest sight lines—think grounded flowers, candles, or a rug.
Sound On Point: Make sure everyone can hear you loud and clear. A killer sound system is a must to avoid any “What did they say?” moments.
Easy Access: Arrange the seating so that guests can easily find their spot and get comfy.
Math: Preparing your chair counts ahead of time is KEY to keeping it seamless on the day of (that’s where your planner comes in).
