Next, think about all the possible reception venues available, and what best reflects your ideal wedding celebration. If you are interested in hosting a traditional wedding reception, how about choosing one of the many Lake Placid hotels? Are you captivated with the idea of celebrating your vows in a small, candlelit venue among a few close friends? Consider the more intimate setting of an Inn or Bed and Breakfast. Have your ceremony outside amidst the Adirondack's natural splendor, or go traditional by having your ceremony in one of the many churches in the area, and then meet your wedding party and guests at the country club. No matter what venue you choose, you will be enchanted by all that Lake Placid has to offer.

After the ceremony - shake your groove-thing! Bring your celebration to Lake Placid - and you are in a town that defintely knows how to have fun! A “must-have” for every great wedding is a captivating band or DJ that will keep your guests dancing the night away. Carefully selected music will not only make your guests get down on the dance floor, but will also heighten the mood. Take your party outside and have the band or DJ rock the tunes for your guests. Once you have narrowed your list to a select few bands or DJs to choose from, gain first-hand knowledge by asking for recommendations and visiting each possibility in action at a local event.

Service, please! Has the decision about choosing a catering company left you losing sleep at night? Rest assured that the caterers in Lake Placid NY will ease your fears. Come prepared with your checklist and discuss with your chef or catering service the theme or courses you would like to have available for your guests. Create an extravagant setting and food service you and your guests will always remember by booking early with a Lake Placid caterer. Choose rugged dishes reminiscent of the Adirondacks themselves or more traditional wedding cuisine. During the planning session with your caterer, remember the needs of your guests – poultry, pork, kosher, or vegetarian style dishes? Diabetic options? Consider if it is essential to have an open bar for the entire event, a cocktail hour for all, or for only the bridal party? Should there be both a wedding cake as well as a table of desserts? Prepare all of your questions for the caterer ahead of time, and together you will create a wedding reception to remember.
