Weddings are no longer just a single-day celebration; they’ve become full weekend experiences filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. A well-planned wedding weekend itinerary keeps events organized, ensures guests feel cared for, and allows you to enjoy your special moments without stress.

At AmourArtelia, Houston’s newest event venue opening soon, we know how important it is to balance fun with flow. Here’s a guide to help you craft the perfect wedding weekend itinerary.

1. Welcome Your Guests

Friday Evening

Kick off your wedding weekend with a warm welcome. Whether it’s an intimate dinner, a casual cocktail night, or a cozy gathering at your venue, the goal is to set the tone.

• Consider a welcome party with light bites and drinks.
• Provide welcome bags with essentials (water, snacks, schedule, local tips).
• Keep it casual so guests can settle in and reconnect.

2. Rehearsal & Pre-Wedding Festivities

Friday Night

After your ceremony rehearsal, gather your wedding party, family, and close friends for a rehearsal dinner or celebration. This event doesn’t have to overshadow the wedding day, it’s a chance to relax and spend quality time with your VIPs.

Tip: At AmourArtelia, our versatile spaces can transition beautifully from rehearsal dinners to grand wedding celebrations.

3. The Big Day

Saturday

Your wedding day is the highlight, and the itinerary should flow seamlessly:

• Morning: Bridal party preparations, photography, and relaxation.
• Afternoon: Guest arrival and ceremony.
• Evening: Reception with dinner, speeches, dancing, and late-night fun.

Lighting, décor, and music should all align with your vision, creating the perfect atmosphere for every stage of the day.

4. The Farewell Brunch

Sunday Morning

End your wedding weekend on a sweet note. A farewell brunch or casual breakfast gives guests a chance to share stories, recover from the party, and send you off with love.

• Think relaxed vibes: coffee, mimosas, and light brunch bites.
• This is also the perfect moment to thank guests personally before they travel home.

Tips for a Smooth Wedding Weekend Itinerary

• Communicate Clearly: Send guests a schedule in advance (welcome bags, emails, or your wedding website).
• Plan Downtime: Avoid over-packing the weekend; leave space for rest.
• Consider Transportation: Make it easy for guests to get from one location to another.
• Choose One Main Hub: Hosting most events at the same venue (like AmourArtelia) keeps logistics stress-free.
