From “Yes” to “I Do”: Your Stress-Free Wedding Guide at Killashee
We know your big day should be as flawless as it is unforgettable. From pre-ceremony jitters to the final dance, we’ve answered the most common wedding day questions to help you feel fully prepared and relaxed.
Getting Ready & Morning Prep
Start hair and makeup about 3–4 hours before the ceremony. Fuel up with light, energising foods, and breathe through the nerves. Keep a wedding emergency kit (think safety pins, stain remover, breath mints), and don’t forget a wrinkle-free plan for your dress and a backup outfit—just in case.
Ceremony Essentials
Photographers should arrive at least an hour early for those special getting-ready shots. Assign someone to hold the rings, documents, and cue the music. Not sure about vows? Choose what reflects you—personalised or traditional.
Reception Smooth Sailing
Have clear signage, a visible seating chart, and a trusted point person for guest questions. Make sure your MC has correct name pronunciations, speeches are timed after dinner, and music kicks off with a bang!
Guests, Kids & Comfort
Offer transport if needed and consider a designated kids’ area to keep little ones entertained. Keep signage for restrooms clear and ensure everyone knows the event timeline with printed programs or displays.
Vendors & Logistics
Assign someone to manage last-minute décor, vendor payments, and gratuities. Have a food plan for dietary needs and leftovers. Create a must-play (and do-not-play) list for your DJ, and don’t forget to send a heartfelt thank you to your vendor’s post-wedding.
Weather & What-Ifs
If you’re planning an outdoor ceremony at Killashee’s stunning gardens, have a stylish indoor or tented backup. For every “what if,” from family drama to transportation delays, a little planning goes a long way.
Memories That Last
Provide your photographer with a shot list and designate someone to gather guests for group photos. Want to make your scent part of the memory? Choose a signature fragrance to wear—and keep that guestbook prominently placed so everyone signs it!
