Brides and Venues Choices

Brides have so many choices nowadays when planning their wedding. They have to choose everything, from the perfect wedding location to what to do if the weather turns bad. I can’t even begin to list all of the decisions a bride will make from the time she is engaged to that special someone to the day of matrimony.

The same goes for wedding locations. We have to make choices daily and yearly to help brides take personal tours of the facility, and to keep the gardens beautiful year-round. One of the hardest decisions I feel we have to make is which magazines and websites to advertise with.

Without the proper advertising and marketing that will drive brides and grooms to our venue, none of the other decisions will exist.

We could use a little help from all brides, mothers of brides or friends helping plan the wedding. Where do you find yourself spending most of your planning time? Looking at magazines or websites? And which ones? If you have a moment, we sure could use some help in making decisions about where to invest our time to be most helpful and accessible to you. Please feel free to comment and tell us which resources you use. Knowing this will help with our marketing, and also help you secure the type of venue that you are looking for.

To thank you for sharing your opinion, we will send you a beautiful custom-made string of pearls. After commenting, please e-mail us your address, so we know where to send the pearls. E-mail info@ellisrancheventcenter.com, with the subject line “Pearls.”

Photos and links to the magazines listed are only examples. If you have another web site or magazine please state those sites too in your comments.

Weddings with Pizazz

Weddings with Pizazz

We host more than 100 weddings per year, and we get so excited when we hear one of our brides talking about a themed wedding.

Weddings entail such a mixed group of family and friends of all ages and personalities. When one of our brides chooses a themed wedding, you know that when the guests arrive, they all get into a totally different mood.

The options are endless: beach/tropical, Western, vintage, music-themed, Mardi Gras, Vegas, Irish. Themes are so much fun to plan.

Our son and his fianceé wanted to go to the beach to get married, but with the cost involved in getting all of their family and friends to a fun, exotic location, they decided to host a beach party for their wedding instead.

They are having a blast together searching for decorations and tasting food that will be different from the normal wedding meal.

Having a theme does not take away from your sacred vows. It only enhances the experience, by allowing you to incorporate more of your individual preferences and style. Weddings, after all, should be a great experience and memories made for a lifetime.


Here is a great site to look at for themed wedding ideas. WeddingThemesIdeas.Net

If either party is divorced, the county will require the date and place of the divorce. The divorce MUST BE FINAL. Widows or widowers need to supply the date and place of death of their former spouse.

The legal age without parental consent is 18 for both persons. For marriages of age 16-17, consent of BOTH parents or parent having legal custody (or guardian or judicial approval) is required.

It is best to obtain a copy of your marriage license (or your marriage license application,) to carry with you as proof of marriage for changing your name on your State ID, Driver's License, vehicle registration, insurance documents, and Social Security card. It is best to get your driver's license updated first, as many offices will require documentation and a state ID with your new name before processing a change request.

Our Preferred Vendor Folder – The Value to Brides

Each year we organize and print a Preferred Vendors Packet that we hand out to each bride that comes for her personal tour at our Wedding Ranch and to brides at Bridal Shows we attend.
Our Preferred Vendor Packet is meant to help guide brides with the many choices they will have to make in the up coming months prior to their special day. When a bride chooses one of our preferred vendors, they will know that they will have a stress free day. All vendors have done a walk-thru and understand the Ellis Ranch rules and regulations. These are vendors who have worked at Ellis Ranch many times.

We could have over 20 vendors in each category but what value would that be?
That would be the yellow pages of vendors, but not necessarily quality vendors.
The Ellis Ranch handpicked each of the vendors in the Packet. Vendors are chosen because they have shown the Ellis Ranch they:

a Top notch in their area of expertise.
b Love what they offer.
c Don’t make the bride worry by showing up late or running out of food.
d Have reasonable pricing.
e Show respect for the Bride and Groom.
f Have an understanding that we are putting our reputation online when recommending them.

The only fee the Ellis Ranch receives from each vendor is a fee to help with the print work of this packet.

The next time you visit a venue with a preferred vendor packet, take the venues advice and hire one their Preferred Vendors from their packet. If the venue has an unlimited number of vendors on their website or venue folder, you will have to do more research to find a quality and reliable vendor.

Why Get Married in Loveland?

Known affectionately as "The Sweetheart City,"
Loveland, Colorado offers many treats to the wedding couple.

In this day and age when you can hop on a plane and be married anywhere in the world, why would you choose Loveland Colorado? Maybe it’s because you love the idea that your marriage license will read, “'The Sweetheart City' Loveland Colorado”.

Late? No Shows?

What happened with arriving on time or calling? I was taught when you have an appointment to always show up on time. In fact showing up 5 minutes early is even better! If you are going to be late be sure and call that person or place as soon as you know you are running late. Remember your schedule is not the only one affected when you are a few minutes behind and it’s considerate to be conscious of that when you are scheduling your day. It seems here lately that engaged couples, guests attending a wedding and/or family members, feel that this considerate behavior is not something that they have to abide too and that drives me crazy. The wedding day is the bride and grooms very own special day but respect and basic courtesy should never be thrown out the window!!! No matter what is going on in your life. If you schedule an appointment for a showing or for a final walk through please show up and show up on time!! As a venue all we ask is if you are running late please call. Also be understanding if the venue needs to reschedule because of other couples arriving for their appointment on time. Remember you are not the only wedding going on this year!!! Never ever make an appointment and just not show up. Please show respect to the venue and call and just let them know your plans have changed and you will no longer be coming.
Thank you for listening and you better get running now so you won’t be late!

Respect for the Bride and Groom

What happened to the wonderful weddings when guest came to the weddings to honor the Bride and Groom?

We host over 120 wedding per year and with that many weddings we have seen everything you can think of.

Respectfull Guest

. RSVP when asked.
. Arrive to the wedding early enough to be seated before the bride walks down the aisle.
. If you haven’t given a gift bring a gift for the couple, it doesn’t have to break the bank but something to show a nice gesture.
. Dress appropriately.
. Plan on spending time at the reception long enough for the meal and all formal dances and cake cutting.
. Guest stay in the building where the bride and groom are.
. Find a baby sitter for the evening or if you bring your children watch them and make them behave.
. Don’t arrive drunk.
. Know directions to the venue prior to leaving your house.
. If it is non-alcohol weddings don’t bring your own alcohol, respect their choices.
. Decorate the couple’s car respectfully.

Un-Respectful things we have happen during a wedding.

. Arrive drunk
. Bring their children and just turn them loose with no supervision.
. Get extremely drunk during the wedding.
. Do property damage; the bride is grooms are responsible for paying for any damage.
. Dress in appropriately.
. Stand out side the building and smoke all evening.
. Tailgating and the bride and groom are in the building dancing.
. Guest who do not respect parking signs.
. Brings guest that where not invited.
. If there is livestock at the venue do not get in the pens.
. Offer alcoholic drinks to minors.
. Decorate the couple’s vehicle to the point there is damage.

I truly could go on and on but after all this is a blog not a book.

Mother Nature Rears Her Ugly Head

Being a venue that host weddings, it is our responsibility to pull off the most beautiful wedding come rain or shine.
Rain and not much shine has been plaguing us a lot this summer. Don’t get me wrong we love the rain. With a wedding park you need lots of grass and flowers that need watering and Mother Nature has been giving us a helping hand.
Wedding days are stressful in it’s self but when you add the tricks of Mother Nature you are sometimes presented with challenges.
Let me describe one of our typical bad weather days. First thing in the morning the phones start ringing (if not several days prior to the wedding) from brides wanting to know what we can do about the rain in the forecast. We claim to be the best at what we do, but telling a bride we can make the weather a perfect 80 degrees and sunshine and no wind is impossible.
We first tell the bride to go about her day as if the weather was a perfect 80 degrees and full of sunshine. After all today is her special day and it is not her responsibility to worry about things, it is ours, and we will do our best to make it just the way she wants it.
We are very fortune enough to have a facility that can host indoor or outdoor ceremonies and that alone makes the stress meter go down.
As the day goes by the gazebo and chairs are all decorated and the reception hall is beautiful just waiting for the guests to arrive. Once the guests begin to arrive we have them take a seat in the reception hall and keep them posted on the weather and when the bride will be arriving in the carriage.
98% of our brides book with us because they want our horse drawn carriage, so most weddings are reserved to be held out doors. Every bride wants the day to be perfect and you can still have that beautiful perfect day on a rainy day we just might have to turn to plan B, which may mean moving the ceremony inside, but that is not a bad thing because our inside facility is just as beautiful!!! It is just important to know that the option is available for the bride….. the wedding will go on no matter what and will be just as comfortable and memorable for her and all her guests. Discuss what your options are head of time with the venue
This summer has been our most challenging due to rain and wind but we have been very fortunate and have not had to move one single wedding inside. We just took our time and watched the weather and had our guests take a seat in the reception hall and most of the time those silly clouds moved on and we are able to move all the guests outside and proceed with a beautiful outdoor wedding!!!

Nashville Floods

This blog isn't about weddings, vendors or fun times. I was in Nashville during all the terrible flooding. I am fine along with my daughter and her family. We were lucky we had no damage to her home or our motorhome. Please take a few minutes and watch this video of the flood. I am so sadden by all the destruction and lives lost. When saying your prayers please keep the residences of Nashville and the surrounding town in your prayers. Twenty beautiful people lost their lives and uncountable livestock. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFjaQoOdJvI

Arriving To The Alter In Style

Do's and Don'ts for Brides

I was going to write my own post on Do's and Don'ts for Brides but came across this great list posted by WeddingSolutions.com via WeddingSpace.com and thought I would forward on to you.

Your wedding will last only a few hours but will likely take several months to plan. That is why it is so important to enjoy the complete wedding planning process. This is a time to get excited, to fall even more deeply in love with each other, to learn more about each other and how to give and take. If you can handle your wedding planning with your fiancé and parents, you can handle anything! Here is a list of do's and don'ts when planning your special day. If you follow these suggestions, your wedding planning and your wedding day will be much more enjoyable!


DO'S
• Hire a professional wedding consujavascript:void(0)ltant.

• Maintain a sense of humor.

•Maintain open communication with your fiancé and with both sets of parents, especially if they are financing the wedding.

• Be receptive to your parents' ideas, especially if they are financing the wedding.

• Be flexible and keep your overall budget in mind.

• Maintain a regular routine of exercise and eat a well-balanced diet.

• Buy the Indispensable Groom's Guide, published by Wedding Solutions Publishing, and give it to your fiancé.

• Buy the Wedding Party Responsibility Cards, published by Wedding Solutions Publishing, and give a card to each member of your wedding party.

• Register for gifts; consider a price range that your guests can afford.

• Break-in your shoes well before your wedding day.

• Practice with makeup and various hairstyles for your wedding day.

• Check recent references for all of your service providers.

• Get everything in writing with your service providers.

• Assign your guests to tables and group them together by age, interests, acquaintances, etc.

• Consider drawing-up a prenuptial agreement and a will.

• Send thank-you notes as soon as you receive gifts.

• Give a rose to each of your mothers as you walk down the aisle during the recessional.

• Try to spend some time with each of your guests and personally thank them for coming to your wedding.

• Encourage the bride's parents to introduce their family and friends to the family and friends of the groom's family, and vice-versa.

• Toast both sets of parents at the rehearsal dinner and/or at the reception. Thank them for everything they have done for you and for giving you a beautiful wedding.

• Eat well at the reception, especially if you will be drinking alcohol.

• Keep a smile on your face; there will be many photographs taken of both of you.

• Expect things to go wrong on your wedding day. Most likely something will go wrong, and no one will notice it but yourself. Relax and don't let it bother you.

• Preserve the top tier of your wedding cake for your first year anniversary.

• Send a special gift to both sets of parents, such as a small album containing the best photographs of the wedding. Personalize this gift by having it engraved with your names and the date of your wedding.

DON'TS

• Don't get involved in other activities; you will be very busy planning your wedding.

• Don't make any major decisions without discussing it openly with your fiancé.

• Don't be controlling. Be open to other people's ideas.

• Don't overspend your budget; this can be extremely stressful.

• Don't wait until the last minute to hire your service providers. The good ones get booked months in advance.

• Don't try to make everyone happy; it is impossible and will only make your wedding planning more difficult.

• Don't try to impress your friends.

• Don't invite old boyfriends or girlfriends to your wedding, unless both you and your fiancé are friendly with them; you don't want to make anybody uncomfortable.

• Don't try to do "everything." Delegate responsibilities to your fiancé, your parents, and to members of your wedding party.

• Don't rely on friends or family to photograph or videotape your wedding. Hire professionals!

• Don't assume that members of your wedding party know what to do. Give them direction with your Wedding Party Timeline and the Wedding Party Responsibility Cards, available at most major bookstores.

• Don't assume your service providers know what to do. Give each of them a copy of your detailed Service Provider Timeline.

• Don't schedule your bachelor party the night before the wedding. You don't want to have a hangover on your special day!

• Don't arrive late at the ceremony!

• Don't drink too much during the reception; you don't want to make a fool of yourself on your most special day!

• Don't flirt with members of the opposite sex.

• Don't allow your guests to drive drunk after the reception; you may be held responsible.

• Don't rub cake in the face of your spouse during the cake-cutting ceremony; your spouse might not appreciate it!

• Don't overeat; this may upset your stomach or make you sleepy.

• Don't leave your reception without saying good-bye to your family and friends.

• Don't drive if you have had too much to drink!

Destination Choices for Brides "Sweetheart City" Loveland, Colorado

As women, we have thought about our wedding day from the time we were little girls. Now the time has come to choose the perfect wedding location.

In my opinion the perfect location to share your sacred vows would be the romantic town of Loveland, Colorado, the gateway to the Rocky Mountains. A small sweetheart city romantically nestled in the heart of the foothills.

I couldn’t have said this any better than a quote I read from the website of The Loveland Wedding Professionals; “Looking for a wedding destination that has the services you need to help you create the wedding day you have always envisioned? Have you dreamed of a mountain wedding? A wedding ceremony by the water or in a park? A reception in a beautiful garden or an elegant ballroom? http://www.lovelandweddingprofessionals.com

So when considering sharing those scared vows I would recommend the "Sweetheart City"

Cater VS Self Catering. Which is the best choice?

At our venue Ellis Ranch Event Center & Wedding Park we are a facility rental only. Which means to allow self- catering. There are pros and cons on self -catering.

Sometime self catering does save you some money and then I have seen families by the time they rent all the equipment needed, left over food, stress and clean up they wish they had just hired a cater, the liability of self-catering. We have seen Mothers sweating in their beautiful gown, crying minutes before the wedding trying to get everything ready for the reception instead of being in the dressing room with their daughter and having a good time.

We would always recommend a bride to hire a professional cater for their reception. Most caters can customize menus and generally can design a fit to meet your budget and style. They take the stress out of your day. You will be able to enjoy you daughter or son’s wedding. This is a time to celebrate.

If you still feel self-catering is the way you want to go for your wedding you should always do a walk thru with the facility prior to your wedding date. They can show you where and how many pug-ins they have for roasters, where you can do the food preparations, clean up requirements, where and how you need to set up the food line. Every venue has rules and regulations to follow. If organized properly and kept simple self catering can work.

Making a statement with Jewelry Accessories

When one thinks of accessories you generally think of buying jewelry and I’m sure that is what you thought this topic was about. When I think of accessories I think of diamonds, pearls and gems to help bring out the pizzazz to your decorations.

Every bride wants her wedding decorations unique and memorable to you and your guest. If your wedding dress has pearls or diamonds sewn on the gown I would follow thru with attaching some in all the corsages, add some to your bouquet, cake, favors, and centerpieces. Please take note of the beautiful pearls being used in this brides centerpieces.

It is the little details that make your wedding stand out in our guest minds.
