There are certain things that you just can’t rule out to ensure the success of your wedding in San Miguel de Allende. Assuming that you’ve already selected an amazing venue and design team, I share with you the things you can’t leave out of your wedding (in no particular order).

  1. Open bar, or a limited version of it. It does not matter if you decide on offering wine, beer and margaritas during cocktail time, wine for dinner and then go for the full bar during dancing, just never, ever go for the cash bar option.
  2. Table assignments. You don’t have to go all the way and assign seats but definitely take the time to assign tables. This will be a time consuming task but just do it, everyone will thank you for it.
  3. Amazing food. Do not take any risks with the menu; pay extra attention to the food that will be served at your wedding. Take advantage of the great options that San Miguel de Allende offers and have fun creating a menu that will excite your guests. Artists are always excited to create new things, and chefs are not the exception.
  4. Great musicians. They will keep the party going, baby! Tell them about your style, your favorite bands and the music that lights you up; then let them do their homework. Be clear on what you want for dancing and what you think your guests would like; we can find moments to make everyone happy. And please, no iPod!
  5. Fabulous décor. Your wedding is a celebration of love so let it show! Embellish every angle of your wedding, make it special, and make it your own. Allow yourself to be surprised, and again, let the experts do their job.
