A Wedding Reception Guide

Posted by Michelle Torno

This past weekend I was honored to attend a beautiful wedding at The Felt Estate in Saugatuck. The Estate is a wonderful venue for a wedding both with the Water Garden for the ceremony and the Mansion for the reception. This bride decided  to do things a little more casual and nontraditional due to the layout of the Mansion. 

In order to assist the guests throughout the evening and all of the activities scheduled, the couple put a "guide" in their programs which also included a map of the property. As a guest myself, I absolutely appreciated this! Included in this guide were starting times for the dinner buffet and the couples first dance and a map marked with the locations for things such as the candy buffet, the bars and the photo booth. 

When you rent The Felt Estate for your event you have access to the entire Mansion. Spreading your event throughout all of the rooms is a great way for your guests to tour the property at their leisure. This weekend's couple also included a Felt Mansion Scavenger Hunt in the program to encourage guests to tour the property and read the history mentioned around the house. 

Congratulations again Julie and Brian! I LOVED all of your thoughtful details on your big day.
