When your wedding venue suddenly falls through

Some weddings stay with us for a particularly long time — not just because of the emotional moments, the unique way the day unfolds and the lovely couples, but because of the journey that led us there. This was one of those weddings. A celebration full of authenticity and ease. And, at the same time, a reminder of just how valuable professional support can be when your wedding venue suddenly falls through four months before the big day.

Almost exactly four months before the big day, we received the news: the original venue, which had been booked for months (and had been a favourite for years), was no longer allowed to host events — effective immediately! In an instant, everything felt uncertain: would the wedding still take place on the planned date, and if so, where? (After all, it wasn’t just ANY date — it was 6 June 2026!) Could we find a new venue at such short notice that met the couple’s wishes: smoking allowed and a loud party lasting well into the night?

YES! By joining forces, we managed to find a venue that wasn’t a compromise, but a place to fall in love with all over again. At first glance, four months before a wedding may seem like plenty of time. In the wedding world, however, many popular venues are already fully booked by then, and suppliers and guests have already planned around the location and date. Together with the couple, we explored a wide range of options, organised venue visits, weighed up the pros and cons, and ultimately found a solution that not only matched their original vision, but even exceeded it in some ways. It is in moments like these that a strong network, experience and a cool head truly prove their worth.

The long-awaited wedding day was shaped by one particular wish: it was important to the couple that everyone could eat and drink (and smoke 😉) throughout the day. Naturally, we made sure those wishes were fulfilled. While the couple gathered with their loved ones for brunch at the wedding venue in the morning and the atmosphere gradually came to life, we were busy setting up and decorating behind the scenes.

And then, at last, the moment arrived: the groom saw his bride for the very first time. Well, that took two attempts… 😉

As the welcome drinks began, the groom greeted the guests and sent them straight to the bar, while the bride took another moment for herself. The ceremony then brought the emotional highlight of the day — but even here, there had to be a touch of party spirit.

After a short photo shoot with the couple came the part of the programme that made this wedding so special: the main meal was served in the afternoon rather than in the evening. A generous tavolata — a shared feast — added to the relaxed atmosphere, brought everyone together around one table and created a natural transition from the formal part of the day to the party, which really did last into the early hours of the morning.

Couples often look to traditional wedding schedules when planning their day. Katrin and Oli’s wedding showed once again that there are no fixed rules. Not every celebration needs an apéro, dinner at 7 pm or a traditional running order. What matters far more is that the day feels right for the couple.

Quote bridal couple:
«Working with the Liebesding team was always so easy. They are there for you whenever you need them and think of everything — absolutely everything. We couldn’t be happier.» – Katrin and Oli

This wedding shows just how individual, vibrant and personal a wedding day can be. If you, too, would love a celebration that truly reflects who you are, but need some support to organise your ideas, set priorities and bring everything together into a cohesive concept, we would love to get to know you in a free, no-obligation initial consultation.

Dear Katrin, dear Oli — thank you so much for the wonderful, funny, intense and exciting moments you shared with us throughout the planning and on your wedding day. Your wedding will stay with us for a very, very looooong time!

When Friends Take the Place of Professionals

When friends take the place of professionals, a wedding can feel especially personal and emotional. Friends conduct the ceremony, parents bake the wedding cake, or someone close to you takes care of the music and technical setup. This can be wonderful. But what do you need to keep in mind?
