From Your Event Coordinators
Our favorite planning tips
Set Your Rsvp Deadline Early
Set your RSVP deadline one month before your wedding date. You will often have to call guests to check on their status. We need the final guest count and seating arrangement at least sixteen days before the event. The last thing you want is to stress about numbers the last few weeks before your reception!
Make a Slideshow
A slideshow is a great way to put a personal touch on your event. Each hall is equipped with a complimentary projector and screen for your use. Add photographs from your childhood, fun moments together, and pictures with family and friends. Everyone loves a glimpse into the special moments of your life!
Use a Lot of Candles!
We always suggest lots of candles (not tea lights since they burn out too fast). Lighting is a very important aspect of any reception. You can already personalize your event at Profile Event Center with our lighting options. Adding the final touch of candles can go a long way! We suggest having candles at each table and even adding them to areas such as the bar and hallway. We can provide the candles for you, or you can bring in your own. Our Hallway Candlelight package is one of our favorites! We are happy to light the candles before your guests arrive. If you are providing your own, please make sure the wicks are up so we can light them quickly!
Schedule a Host And/or Hostess
A host makes your guests feel comfortable and at ease. Have your hosts arrive before earliest guest arrival to greet your guests and provide general guidance of what guests should do when they arrive. Choose people who are comfortable greeting guests and pointing out the gift table, name card table, coat area, etc. An example of their greeting may be, "Welcome! Please take your name card and find your table. The gift table is over there, and feel free to get drink at the bar"!
Use Our Maps!
Follow our website to the Information Page and click on the link entitled, "Maps and Directions." You will find a map showing parking and entrances to your hall. Include this map in your invitation so guests will not have a problem finding your reception! Just remember that the parking lot is available Monday-Friday after 5:30pm and all day and night on weekends except during Gopher football games and other stadium events.
Alphabetize Name Cards
When putting together your name cards make sure to have them in alphabetical order. Do it in advance so your set-up crew (family, friends, etc.) do not have to spend hours on it the day of. Alphabetize by last name. You can even put families in groupings. It will be a breeze for guests to find their name and table assignment!
Personalize, Personalize, Personalize!
Whether it is photographs in the hallway, a specialty cocktail at the bar or a pop of your theme color, your guests will see your personal touch in everything. We suggest making personalized table numbers that match your theme and décor. Use our complimentary stands and bring in themed table number to tie everything together! It is the little details that add so much!
Tastings
Private Tastings
We offer private tastings for up to six people. You will be able to taste four appetizers, four late night snacks, four entrées, four sides, four desserts and four cake flavors depending on what you plan to serve at your event. In our showroom, you will see examples of our centerpieces, specialty linens, sash colors, and a table set-up. It is a great place to get decoration ideas!
Assigned Seating
If you would like to offer more than one meal, you may select up to three entrées. Include the options in your invitations and have your guests reply with their meal choices. This is so our chefs can best execute the preparation and service of your meals. Children's meals and vegetarian choices generally count toward the three entrée options; however, if you only have a few vegetarian, gluten-free, specialty, or children's meals, we can usually accommodate these meals without counting as another option. Please assign tables and provide your guests name cards that clearly reflect their entrée choices. The clearest code is a picture or simply a letter (e.g., picture of a chicken or the letter C) on the front of the name card. Please make sure it is large and easy for the servers to see. The easier your name cards are to read, the better the service! Please see possible options illustrated to the right. Once you get your final guest count (at least sixteen days before your reception), please provide us with the following information: I. Final total for each meal; II. Number of each meal per table (e.g., Table 1 ~ 3 chicken, 4 steak, 1 children's meal). Our servers will bring the selected meals to the tables and deliver them to the corresponding cards; III. Number of guests per table (this is how we will set up the tables to make sure there are the proper number of chairs and place settings per table); IV. Table numbers. Timing: Our kitchen staff needs one half hour flexibility when planning for your dinner.
Appetizers & Late Night Snacks
Appetizers
In between your ceremony and reception it is always nice to provide hors d'oeuvres for your guests! If your guests are going to be at your reception one hour or longer prior to dinner, we always recommend serving appetizers. We provide either buffet or butler passed hors d'oeuvres at no extra service charge. We generally recommend three passed appetizer options and enough for each guest to try one of each. We also often suggest adding a few platters! It does depend on the timeline and other factors so we may have some suggestions at your final meeting
Late Night Snacks
We recommend serving late night snacks (pizza, sandwiches, bar food, snacks, etc.) around 10-10:30 p.m., depending on your timeline. Everyone loves it when pizza suddenly appears after a night of drinking and dancing! Review your guest list for the late night party crowd to estimate the amount of snacks to order.
Plated Meals
Open Seating
To have open (unassigned) seating, everyone must receive the same entrée. You may also provide the option of a children's meal since our servers will be able to tell the difference between children and adults and serve accordingly. You may also have a few vegetarian, gluten-free, or other specialty meals.
Ceremony Onsite
How it Works
We charge $350.00 for ceremonies. The ceremony is held in the same hall as your reception. Guests sit at their respective tables and chairs are placed on the dance floor for immediate family and close friends. After the ceremony, we set up the head table onstage and remove the chairs from the dance floor.
Rehearsal
You may rehearse for your ceremony the same day as your wedding any time after 10 a.m.. If the hall is available the day before your wedding, then you may rehearse the day before (usually only applicable for Friday weddings). We are generally onsite until 6:00 p.m. and will set up your hall early that day.
Set up / Hall Layout
One of our biggest tips is to not spend time worrying about hall layout until you have your final numbers.
Things can change drastically depending on your final count. Once you get your final count, we will create a hall diagram for you. During the planning process, you may use the diagrams on our website (click on your hall's tab and the Hall Diagrams link at the bottom of the page) to envision your reception layout. Wait to finalize your floor plan until the final meeting as we may have some suggestions.
Round tables for buffet service seat nine per table.
Round tables for plated service seat eight per table (to allow room for chargers). Rectangular tables seat ten per table. Your coordinator will have some ideas in your final meeting for guest seating and the best locations for "other" tables (e.g., cake, gift, name card, buffet, etc.).
Sound and Lighting
Preparation
Please drop off your slideshow on a USB drive or DVD or any music you want played for cocktail hour at the final meeting so we can test it and have it set up before your guests arrive! You won't have to worry about where it is the day of!
Lighting Options
We have many lighting options! Please see the questionnaire from our website's Information Page for specific lighting options.
Slideshow
If you are playing the slideshow once, the best time to play it is after everyone has been served. That way all of your guests are sitting down and have a chance to watch it. If you want your slideshow to run continuously, please format your slideshow to include a "continuous loop function." Also, let us know what timeframe to run the slideshow. Be sure to let us know if your slideshow has audio attached to it or if the DJ will be running other music in the background.
Centerpieces and Decorations
In-House Centerpieces and Decorations
We would love to create your centerpieces! Having us take care of everything takes a lot of the stress out of your big day. You can keep the fun of designing without all of the work. After all, who wants to own and then at 3:00 a.m. transport thirty centerpieces!? All items you rent from us, we set up and take down. You do not have to worry about anything!
Outside Centerpieces and Decorations
Anything you bring in, you need to set up and take down that day. We are always changing over from one event to another. Assign a crew of friends and family to set up, clean up, and remove your decorations. Obviously, you will be very busy that day! We would be glad to light any candles that you bring in but please remember to put the wicks up for us! You have until 3 a.m. to remove your decorations.
Bouquets
Many brides use their bouquets as decorations for the head table. You can simply lay the bouquets on the head table or bring in vases for them. If you bring in vases, please make sure they are the right size for the bouquet. Bouquets can end up being heavy and you do not want a vase full of water all over your beautiful dress or table! When your set up team places the vases at the head table that morning, please make sure to put water in the vase.
Timeline
So, you have booked your reception and paid your first $750 deposit. What next?
Any Time #1
Like us on Facebook! We will be posting all sorts of updates, ideas and information on our Facebook page. It is the best way to keep up on what is going on at PEC and also a great spot to chat with other brides! We would love for you to post pictures, ideas, and comments! Please keep in touch after your eception!
Any Time #2
Let us know if you would like to schedule our in-house DJ. As you get closer to your reception, we will choose DJ for you and have him or her contact you. You may complete our in-house DJ form on the Information Page before your DJ contacts you. Just click on "In-House DJ" then click on "Planning Form" to get started!
6 Months
180 days before your reception, your second $750 deposit is due. Just mail a check or give us a call with a credit card number.
4-6 Months
Set up a private tasting if you are unsure of your menu! These can be set up Mondays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.. You may have six people total at the tasting and you will also be able to see decoration ideas in our showroom.
4-9 Months
While you are doing your own planning, use our online resources to get ideas on table placements, decorations, and music! Set up a detail meeting, and we will send you a helpful questionnaire. These answers are not final but will help us in planning your day! Go over the questionnaire before the meeting since we will be asking you questions from it. That way we can get some details down in your file and answer any questions you may have for us! It is also very helpful in planning the timeline for your event!
2-4 Weeks
Approximately two weeks to one month before your event, your DJ will be contacting you to go over reception details.
16 Days
Sixteen days prior to your event (earlier is even better!) the final details, final count, and final payments are due. We will finalize all of the specifics during the final meeting. Anything you can send over in advance will be helpful! That way we can start working on your invoice and room diagram prior to the meeting.
