When it comes time to start planning your wedding, far too often the excitement you feel in the beginning can swiftly turn into stress, as you try to plan your perfect wedding day, while wading through a world of the unknown.
Will you choose a full service wedding venue, or are you wanting to create your own atmosphere, showcasing your style in a setting that both looks incredible, and makes your guests feel comfortable? The latter has become a fast-climbing trend, with couples opting to bring in their own mix of vendors to a ‘shell venue’ (a venue where nothing is supplied besides venue hire), and create their very own wedding experience from the ground up. The same trend also applies to ceremonies, with couples choosing a spot with an amazing view (often away from the reception venue) and having to coordinate and style the space from scratch.
Does that sound like a lot of hard work? The truth is, it can be. Juggling different vendors, costings, logistics and styles can be anything but cohesive… unless you find a company that does it all.
Here are some commonly asked questions that come from couples planning a ‘shell venue’ or ‘do-it-yourself’ wedding…
1. What kind of services do I need to think about for a ‘shell venue’ wedding?

3. How do I ensure I will have furniture and design that will suit my wedding style?
The great thing about Simply Seated is the warehouse walk-throughs they offer in the Sydney suburb of Annandale. During this appointment, couples are able to view the furniture and styling options in real life, so they can make a more informed decision. And if you can’t make it to the warehouse, you can always view all hire options via the Simply Seated website.

4. Can I request custom orders for my wedding day?
Absolutely. The Simply Seated team love out-of-the-box ideas, and relish the opportunity to create something bespoke for couples. The laser cutter is a great tool in achieving this, but bringing your vision to life is just a matter of speaking with the team and discovering what is possible.
