Provide adequate space for your wedding entertainment and amenities

Entertainment plays a huge role in the success of a wedding party. Whether you plan to hire a full band, solo performer, or a DJ, ensure that you have enough space to accommodate them and your dancing guests. If your party area is not as spacious, hiring a trio with fewer people providing music would be best. A DJ is an excellent choice, but you still need that space for your guests to dance and enjoy the event.
Also you must make sure that there are enough toilets for your guests don’t rely on your own bathroom, you want to keep your home and your wedding separate so hiring in a portaloo is going to be the best option, so you must make sure you have enough space to accommodate  these as well.

Notify your neighbours

Whether you are close to your neighbours or not, it is always best to notify them of your coming wedding party. Remember that your home is not the typical wedding party venue, and the polite thing to do is inform people within your area that you are hosting the event. A short note will be appropriate, apologising for any inconvenience it may cause, and appreciate their understanding. It would also help to add the phone number of one of your friends or any family member, should there be any issues during the party. That way, they can appropriately deal with the situation for you.
