The selection of the most important people should also begin as early as possible. First of all, according to the Run the Show agency, you need to take care of choosing a decorator, photographer, videographer, presenter, stylist, master of ceremonies, printing (8-10 months before the wedding), and also book a music group and DJ (6-8 months ). At the same stage, the design concept is approved together with the decorator. At the same time, the planning stage of the banquet begins, so you need to think about choosing a catering company. Here it should be borne in mind that if you are planning a wedding abroad – for example, in Europe – then the format of the wedding there will be completely different. So Special Events reports on the festive dinner at weddings in France. A wedding dinner in France can be divided into two parts. First, a cocktail is arranged, where guests are served light and, as a rule, cold snacks, as well as champagne, white or rosé wine or low-alcohol cocktails. Such aperitifs are most often held outdoors and last from an hour to two. At the same time, guests get to know each other, take photos at the photo zone, enjoy live or lounge music. After the aperitif, guests are invited to dinner, which is usually held either indoors or in another area of the venue. Dinner consists of a starter, main course, cheese (optional) and dessert, accompanied by red and white wine. It is extremely rare to serve strong alcohol or champagne at dinner. It is considered bad form to drink strong drinks with meals, so they are served as a digestif after dessert, when the dance part of the evening begins. Champagne is considered a cocktail and dessert drink, so it is no longer served during dinner. Weddings in France also differ in their timing. The cocktail starts at 6 pm, and they sit at the table at about 8. This allows you to avoid a cocktail in the heat (most weddings are still held in the summer), and also does not allow the feast to drag on indefinitely. A cocktail-dinner change, and the very change of dishes at dinner, create dynamics and a certain sequence.
