Oak Creek Farm Solutions: Some of the things couples regret not doing at their wedding receptions

Updated: Jan 1

Wedding receptions are a whirlwind of emotions and excitement, but sometimes couples look back and wish they had done a few things differently. Here are some common regrets that couples have after their big day:


Firstly, make sure to actually eat something! It's easy to get caught up in the excitement and forget to nourish yourselves. Take a moment to enjoy the delicious food that has been prepared for you.

Another regret couples often have is not taking the time to truly soak in the day. It goes by so quickly, so make sure to pause and appreciate all the love and joy surrounding you. We love to take couples out to the fields to get some special Oak Creek Farm cow pictures and give you time alone.

Consider choreographing your first dance. It's a great way to add some extra magic and create lasting memories on the dance floor.


Make sure you hire a photographer for the whole reception. You'll want every special moment captured, from getting ready until the last guest leaves.


Paying beforehand can save you from any last-minute stress or surprises on your big day. Settle all payments in advance so you can focus on enjoying yourselves without any financial worries.


Consider hiring a videographer as well. Photos are wonderful, but having a video of your wedding reception allows you to relive those precious moments with even more detail and emotion.

Don't forget to mingle with all your guests! Take some time throughout the evening to connect with each person who came out to celebrate with you. They're there because they care about you, so show them some love too!

Lastly, make sure you get pictures with all your guests. It's easy for this task to slip through the cracks amidst everything else going on, but having photos with everyone will be something that brings back fond memories years down the line.


By keeping these things in mind, you can ensure that your wedding reception is everything you've dreamed of and more.
