The Square One Band recently had the pleasure to play at the Olde Pink House in Savannah, GA to celebrate the wedding of a beautiful couple. The event was a blast, with those in attendance partying to the wee hours of the night. The couple made a great choice in their photographers, Jade and Matthew from Jade and Matthew Take Pictures. They were very attentive to their clients, and took special care to capture the specialness and excitement of the evening. Here are some of their excellent pics, more shots on the way!
So Where Do You Want to Get Married??
With so many choices to make when planning a wedding, I believe the biggest one, which needs to be decided first, is where you would like to get married. This might seem like a no-brainer, but in actuality, there is much to be thought about when deciding the specific venue for the big event. Questions such as the amount of guests you will be inviting, the travel that family members (some perhaps elderly) will have to endure, the hours and availability of the venue, need to be answered. Having played at hundreds of weddings over the last few years, I can tell you that the venue and its staff can make or break the ceremony/reception experience. So before you sign on the dotted line, make sure to have all your questions answered and all potential conflicts worked out.
Here are some great articles that address this very issue, as well as a website which lists several hundred wedding venues in Georgia.

Wedding Menu Ideas
Having played several hundred weddings, I am constantly amazed at the choices that need to be made when deciding what to do about food choices (and their are many!) for the big event. A friend of mine is getting married soon, and asked me if I had any ideas concerning what he and his bride to be should do about the menu. I sent him these links and thought they might be helpful to others as well!
