It
is not fashionable today for the bride to be late.
Although
events can occur in the bride's preparation to cause her
to be late on the day, I strongly recommend you are
punctual in consideration to your guests.
Equally,
of course, this applies to the Groom.
Both the Groom and his attendants should be on site at least
a half hour before hand to be able to greet the guests, and
to be ready for the Photographer.
Hairdresser
and Makeup
When arranging your appointments with Hairdressers and
Makeup, please ensure that you as the Bride gets done FIRST.
This will enable you to be dressed and ready for any home
photographs when the Photographer and video operator arrive.

Many thanks for conducting the wedding of my son Mark
to Jana at Athol Hall. The ceremony was absolutely
delightful and very meaningful, particularly their
vows – so much more appropriate than the standards
vows. The day brought me much pleasure. Again many
thanks for your part in making the day so special.

Photographer
Some
photographers forget the time, please ensure that your
photographer is aware your wedding is expected to commence
on time.
This
may mean that you and your attendants have to be ready a
little earlier, enabling the photographer to have enough
time to do their job. This equally applies to video
operators.
Transport
to the Wedding Venue
Let me take this in two parts:
Using
limousines or hire vehicles
One
week beforehand, contact the company involved and go over
all transport requirements, particularly timing of arrival
at the bride’s home, departure time and arrival time at
the wedding venue, allowing for the photographer, who may
take up to 10-15 min.
Ensure
that the driver has knowledge of the location and directions
to the wedding venue.
Private
vehicles
It
is preferable that immediate family don’t drive the bride
to the wedding.
One
week before the wedding at approximately the same time of
day, do a practice run from where you are leaving, to the
venue
This
will cater for about the same type of traffic.
Note
the time add 15 minutes and working backwards, calculate the
time the bride should be in the car. Extra time
ensures for any traffic diversions, hold-ups, accidents,
enabling you to arrive cool, calm and collected
