At Marshecka Weddings, we believe your wedding should feel like a seamless symphony, where every guest moment is intentional, elevated, and unforgettable.

Today’s discerning couple isn’t just focused on florals and fashion. They’re curating a guest experience that reflects their love story with beauty and warmth. From champagne passed as guests arrive to private musical interludes, luxury now lives in the unexpected details.

Here are a few guest experience enhancements we’ve incorporated into our signature weddings, from bespoke phone booth guestbooks to singing waiters flown in from the UK. These are not just trends. They are moments of memory making that elevate your celebration from lovely to legendary.

1. Champagne at Ceremony Arrival

Set the tone with a glass of chilled bubbles as guests enter your ceremony space, welcoming elevated and effortlessly chic.

2. Infused Water Stations

Infused water stations with fresh citrus, mint, or edible florals served in tall carafes or gold rimmed glass dispensers offer elegant hydration with a visual flourish and a beautiful opportunity to style the space with florals.

3. Live Violinist or String Ensemble

The romance of live music as guests arrive and during your ceremony is unmatched, modern yet timeless.

4. Wedding Magazine Programs in Welcome Boxes


Custom crafted like the pages of your favorite bridal magazine, these personalized programs are a thoughtful and visually stunning way to welcome your guests. Included in beautifully curated welcome boxes, each magazine features your weekend itinerary, love story, wedding party introductions, and even local recommendations, all styled with refined design and timeless elegance.

It’s a first impression that feels personal, elevated and unforgettable, setting the tone for the celebration ahead.

5. Phone Booth Guestbook

A nod to nostalgia, this editorial detail invites guests to leave voice messages memories you’ll cherish and replay for years to come. Elevate the moment by extending your floral design into this area, creating a stunning visual experience your guests won’t forget.

6. Singing Waiters from the UK

A luxe surprise moment as your servers break into operatic or classic hits mid-dinner, captivating your guests and creating a story no one forgets. One of our couples included this and it was so much fun with unforgettable energy.

7. Custom Signature Drinks & Menus

Think sculptural garnishes, hand-lettered acrylic signage, or drinks inspired by your story like The First Date Fizz or The Amalfi Spritz. You can also incorporate your wedding colors into the drink theme.

8. Our Love is Poppin’ Favors (Amanda & Calvin)

Our clients Amanda and Calvin added this thoughtful touch as a nod to their shared love for popcorn an endearing part of their custom love story. Playful yet refined, personalized popcorn bags labeled Our Love is Poppin’ were served at the farewell station. A charming and joyful send-off that felt both unforgettable and uniquely theirs.

9. Luxe Lounge Areas

Create cozy conversation corners with styled lounge furniture. It gives guests a moment to relax, take it all in, and enjoy the celebration in comfort and style.

10. Late-Night Dessert Grazing or Sweet Boards

End the night with a bang. Swap out a traditional cake table for passed desserts, a sweet grazing station, or interactive displays that let guests grab treats between dances.

11. Signature Scenting in the Celebration Space
Luxury today is multi-sensory. One elevated touch our couples are embracing is scenting the celebration space with a custom fragrance, whether diffused subtly throughout the venue or introduced during key moments like guest arrival or the first dance. Imagine a soft romantic floral blend or a warm amber and vanilla note drifting through the air, sophisticated, ambient, and unforgettable. Just like a custom song or signature cocktail, a signature scent creates a sensory anchor guests will associate with your wedding for years to come.
