Memphis Planners — Common Questions
We want a live band. What does that need from the venue?
Power, space and a noise limit you have checked. A full band needs more electrical supply than most old rooms were built for, a stage area that does not eat the dance floor, and load-in access that does not run through the ceremony. Ask the venue what a band has done in that room before, and get the sound curfew in writing.
Our reception is at a historic house. What is the constraint?
Capacity and infrastructure. Beautiful rooms have small doorways, floors that will not carry heavy staging, a restroom count set a century ago and often no working kitchen. Tents and a catering setup outside are the usual answer, which is a rental order and a weather plan rather than an afterthought. Walk the site with the caterer before you sign.
How do we plan around the heat?
Put the outdoor part at the end of the day, keep it short, and give people somewhere cool to wait. Humidity here holds into the evening and affects hair, flowers and comfort in that order. If the ceremony must be at midday, it should be indoors, and the photographs should be planned for later rather than at the hottest hour.
Should we plan anything around the music the city is known for?
Only if you want to, but guests will go and find it, so it helps to say what the weekend includes. A rehearsal gathering on a street with music does more for out-of-town guests than a formal dinner. If you send people out on their own, give them a return time and a way back that does not depend on driving.
How do we compare two planners whose quotes look alike?
By what happens on the day. Ask who is on site, when they arrive, when they leave, whether they stay through the strike, and what they do if a supplier does not show. Ask for two references from the past year, at venues like yours. Two identical numbers frequently describe very different days.
