Lindsay and Jake wrapped up 2022 in style with their New Year’s Eve Wedding! These two got married in Arroyo Grande and then had their big party at Thousand Hills Ranch in Pismo Beach. They picked their venue because it was large enough for a complete inside reception for 250 people. And it is beautiful facilities and grounds. It was a good thing they had a full indoor celebration as the Central Coast had an intense storm pass through. That didn’t stop these two and all their friends and family to party the night away!

5 Things to Remember When Planning a New Year’s Eve Wedding

1. Book Early – Find a venue that will allow you to be there until midnight and allow music until then. A lot of venues in San Luis Obispo have a 10 o’clock curfew.
2. Give your Guests lots of Notice – Traveling during the holidays can mean extra expenses. So giving your guests lots of notice will help make their attendance more feasible.
3. Extend Your Bar – People will want to keep the party going, so extending the bar a couple of hours will be ideal. Also, don’t forget a late-night snack to soak up some of that booze.
4. Provide Transportation – Giving people a safe ride back to their hotel is a great gesture. It’ll allow them to enjoy the night ahead without worrying about how they’ll get home.SLO Safe Ride is our favorite.
5. Tip the Staff – Catering, Planning, Bar, DJ, Photo & Video will be working long hours to help you have the best wedding of the year!!

BONUS – Create a Fun Countdown!! Have your vendors create a fun countdown with your guests. And don’t forget a bubbly bar, sparklers, confetti, hats, balloon drop, or something else to make it special!!
