5 Tips for Planning a Beautiful Wedding

The only thing better than a wedding at the Lake of the Ozarks is a wedding at Lazy Gators! Not only do we feature a beautiful view of the Lake, but we also have a sandy area for you to say your vows, AND we're Party Capitol at the Lake of the Ozarks. No matter what your wedding style, it will look perfect at our lakefront wedding venue at the Lake of the Ozarks. Here are a few things you can keep in mind as you plan your beautiful wedding.

Light it Up

There's nothing more romantic than adding some twinkle lights to your surrounding area. The right ambiance can make all the difference in your wedding, so don't be afraid to light it up! From spotlights during your first dance to tiki torches around the reception area, there are so many ways to really enhance your area.

Feast with Food

Did you know that the food is what really solidifies the event? Having the best food at the Lake of the Ozarks is going to be one great way to guarantee everyone enjoys their time at your wedding. At Shady Gators we offer catering, and we have the best Cajun food at the Lake of the Ozarks. Not to mention, our new Baja Beach Club Cantina & Tequila Bar serves up some fabulous dishes as well.

Turn Up the Tunes

Part of what makes us the Party Capitol is that we know how to have a good time. We have the best bands and entertainment around, and you can get the same results by following suit. Invest in a good DJ who will keep the night hopping with the best music around. You're guests will love that there is always something good to dance to, and you'll have some great photos afterwords from that part of the celebration.

Never Forget Necessities

Every outdoor wedding needs a few things to be completely successful - bug spray and sunscreen. Of course, you also need water too! By providing a few important things like bug spray and sunscreen for your outdoor wedding, your guests will really appreciate you remembering this important detail. You can put little pails or boxes around your reception venue with these things in them. You can also put coolers of water around so that everyone can keep hydrated! Such an important detail for every outdoor wedding.

Gear Up With Games

Do you want to plan fun games for the reception? There's no better place than Lazy Gators to get that started! If you aren't using the sand for your wedding, you can have an epic game of sand volleyball going for your guests. You can also opt for traditional games like cornhole, giant Jenga, word searches on the programs, or even hide and seek around the best wedding venue at the Lake of the Ozarks.
