Balancing traditions on your wedding day

Balancing tradition with personal style in a wedding can be a beautiful way to honor your roots while making the day uniquely yours. Never have we seen such a time we you can do just about anything.  Make it your love story!!

Here are a few ways to approach it:

1. Prioritize Meaningful Traditions Focus on traditions that resonate with you and your fiancé, whether they hold family significance or have a cultural or religious meaning.  Couples are finding creative ways to balance traditions and modernity in their ceremony and reception.

photography by http://www.lovelydayphoto.com

2. Blend Old and New Mix traditional elements with modern touches, like adding classic decor but with a contemporary twist.

3. Personalize Rituals If there are rituals or customs that don’t fully align with your vision, consider modifying them. 25 years ago everyone participated in the garter toss.  This is where the groom would remove the garter from the bride and tosses it into a crowd of single men.   We have not seen the toss but a few times at the Admiral Room. Instead, you could have a photo taken of the single guests and look back on this a few years later to see the differences.  Make it your own!

4.  Incorporate Personal Elements:

When you think of your wedding day, it is easy to focus heavily on the reception, but incorporating traditional elements can help anchor the day for its deeper meaning. A first look or first touch with a prayer or private vows, a unity event during your ceremony, a traditional blessing, or a private dinner can be beautiful ways to uphold the day’s significance while still leaving room for dancing and celebration.  We have seen a variety of wonderful ideas.  Let us know you are interested in any of these, and we will assist you in the planning.

Including your PET in your wedding venue in Buffalo

We here at the http://www.admiralroom.com    love our animals.
photo credit- http://www.moonshinestudioofphotography.comWe allow your dog or cat to participate in your special day.  If they can’t make it here, there are other ways to make sure your dog’s presence is seen and felt, how about:
  • Name a signature drink after your dog and place the sign at the bar.
  • Include your dog in your engagement photos
  • Ask your dog walker or sitter to bring your dog at an appointed time for photos.
  • Request your bakery to include your dog, cat, pig, horse in the cake design or cake topper
  • Feature a life-size photo cutout of your dog at the reception
  • Commission artwork of your dog to include on invitations, the event program, or other signage
  • Have a drawing on your cocktail napkins
Attention couples of fur babies: We’ve compiled some of the most adorable pet wedding photos from the http://www.admiralroom.com .
See some of the ideas so you can include your favorite best friend, your dog, into your special day.   Whether you own a cat, dog, rabbit, reptile, there are many ways to have your animal play a special role in the big day.
When considering pet wedding ideas, first take into account your pet’s demeanor and whether your venue, http://www.admiralroom.com allows pets on the premises.
Many couples choose to have their furry companions present for the “I dos” and reception festivities. Have your dog walk down the aisle with the bridesmaids, or stand with the groomsmen as you say your vows.
We have seen dogs here dress in bow ties or a tutu.   Give your pup a bowtie that matches those of the groomsmen, or a little dress so your fur baby can be an honorary flower “dog”.
We have a wonderful recommendation of a pet sitter for your animal (just not dogs):
Alexa’s Angels Petsitting LLC
She has an entire brochure on wedding packages she offers.  Here’s an example:
     Happy Taills Furever Package-
     Meet and greet
    Pet chauffer service from your home to venue, venue to home
    Assistance during the first look photos, ceremony and walking down the aisle and reception
   Coordinating with the photographer
   Brushing and dressing the  animals and cleaning touch ups
   Treats and Hydration throughout the day
     and potty breaks
   And walks

Officiating a Wedding Ceremony at your wedding venue

Officiating a wedding is a special responsibility that can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. Here are the top 10 tips to help you at the Admiral room http://www.admiralroom.com 

1. Understand the Legal Requirements

   – Make sure you’re legally authorized to officiate weddings in the location where the ceremony will take place. Check the local laws regarding officiants and ensure all paperwork, such as your ordination or license, is in order.  Mail in Officiant licenses are sufficient. Getting Married | Buffalo, NY (buffalony.gov)

2. Deciding on the Officiant

– are you interested in a family member or friend or a local officiant.  Reach out to us and we can help you. Our favorite in Buffalo is . http://www.jcofficiants.com

3.   Get to know the couple 

   – Understand the couples vision with their ceremony. Learn their preferences, religious or cultural elements, and any special requests they might have.

4. Prepare and Personalize the Ceremony Script

   – Write a draft of the ceremony script, including the welcome, vows, exchange of rings, and any readings or rituals. Personalize it to reflect the couple’s relationship and personalities.

 5. Rehearse the Ceremony

   – Practice delivering the ceremony aloud to get comfortable with the script. Try very hard to make it to the wedding rehearsal to familiarize yourself with the venue and timing.  Do you want a microphone?  Do you want a podium.  This all has to be determined prior to the day.

6. Speak Clearly and Confidently

   – Project your voice so everyone can hear you, especially if you’re not using a microphone. Practice speaking clearly and at a steady pace.

7.  Engage the Audience

   – Make eye contact with the couple and the guests. Create a warm, inclusive atmosphere by acknowledging the importance of their presence.  MAKE SURE to tell guests what to do after the ceremony concludes.  Are you getting photos or going right to the cocktail hour?  How do they get there?

 8. Handle Emotions Gracefully

   – Weddings can be emotional. If you or the couple becomes teary, pause briefly, and allow everyone to collect themselves before continuing.

 9.  DONT BE IN THE FIRST KISS PICTURE

   – move out of the way for pictures.  PLEASE move!  As soon as the couple turns to face the crowd, move to the side .

10. Sign the Marriage License

   – After the ceremony, ensure the marriage license is signed correctly by the couple, witnesses, and yourself. Return the license to the appropriate authority as required.

These tips should help you feel prepared and confident when officiating a wedding!

We recommend working with local owned wedding venues.  Here are a few top family owned venues around the county:
