Get Expert AdviceWhen in the timeline should we do a father daughter dance?
Leonda By The Yarra
Hi there,
Thanks so much for this great question!
Most brides have the father-daughter dance right after their first dance with their spouse. But there really is no right or wrong time, your wedding is a day about you, you can choose the timeline that suits you and your partner best. If you don't want to have it after the first dance, other good times to squeeze it in are following the toasts and before the cake cutting.
We hope this helps you in your timeline planning!
Sincerely,
The Leonda Team
Can we have a morning wedding?
Leonda By The Yarra
Yes! We would be more than happy to talk through what your dream day looks like to you, and all the possibilities at Leonda By The Yarra.
We want to stock the bar ourselves to save money. Will it?
Leonda By The Yarra
Many of our couples arrange with us to supply their own alcohol for service (especially if there’s a beverage that is special to you and your partner!). We do ask for a minimum number of bottles to be supplied based on guest numbers (don’t worry – anything not used on the night gets returned to you and your family!); as far as cost savings though, in our experience, it isn’t a substantial saver for our couples.
