THE ORDER OF WALKING UP THE AISLE

DESIGNATED OUTDOOR CEREMONY AREAS
Each banquet room has an accompanying ceremony grounds that can only be rented with that room. The WEST CEREMONY GROUNDS may be rented for those clients who have rented the Carriage House. The EAST CEREMONY GROUNDS may be rented by those clients who have rented either the Henry Ford Room or the Raisin River Cafe. Ceremonies planned indoors may be moved outdoors if Wellers is given a 24 hour notice. Click on INDOOR CEREMONIES to see how to move your ceremony indoors.

TIMING OF YOUR OUTDOOR CEREMONY
Ceremonies on West Grounds and East Grounds must be timed at least one hour apart. You will need to know your ceremony time when you sign your contract at Wellers. We will check our ceremony calendar to make sure that your ceremony time does not conflict with other ceremonies that may be scheduled the same day.

WALK THROUGH
Do an "at home walk-through" of you ceremony before you have your 60-day meeting with Wellers' and before you send out your invitations. You will then have a better idea of the timing for things to follow.

OUTDOOR GARDEN CEREMONIES AND WEATHER

Please note on your invitations that your ceremony will be performed outdoors so guests will dress appropriately. If it rains,you may conduct your ceremony inside the banquet room but guests must sit at their place settings for ceremonies performed inside the banquet room. We do not recommend outdoor ceremonies in April or November

MUSIC FOR OUTDOOR CEREMONIES
There are electrical outlets on the back posts of the garden structures for musicians. Please let musicians and DJs know that they must bring their own extension cords & dollies. Check with your DJ before you book them to see if they provide music for ceremonies. Delivery vehicles may not drive on the grounds. A 10X10 Tent may be rented for musicians.

MICROPHONE/PODIUM RENTAL
Podium/microphone rental ($100) includes podium, audio panel/speaker and one hand-held microphone. If you need lapel microphones you must rent from a rental company. There are three jacks for microphones on the audio control box located on the back of the lectern. Your minister/rabbi must get the microphone from the Banquet Manager upon arrival and turn it back in when the ceremony is completed to avoid possible charges.
