Cleaning up after the reception will definitely be the last thing on your mind on your big day. Plan ahead so that when you and your new husband leave the event, the clean up will be taken care of in your absence.

Check your venue contract to determine what is included in your price. If clean-up isn't included, you'll want to appoint a responsible friend or family member to make certain the venue is left in excellent condition so that you'll receive your full refund from the cleaning deposit.

Your go-to person should have detailed instructions on what needs to be done and where items need to be placed. Ask friends or family members beforehand to be on the clean-up crew and let them know who the foreman is so they will be prepared and ready to work.

Items that may need to be cleaned up:

· Remove decorations
· Prepare all rental items for pick up or return
· Dismantle tables and chairs
· Remove linens and centerpieces
· Clean kitchen and take care of any leftovers
· Clean restrooms
· Empty trash
· Turn out lights and lock doors

Your venue will have a complete list included with the contract. Consider having your clean-up crew foreman complete a walk-through be the wedding day so she will know everything that needs to be done and where items need to be returned to.

Also, make the clean-up go smoothly by providing containers to store any items that need to be removed in, i.e. Tupperware for leftovers and boxes for centerpieces.

You'll be able to relax and enjoy your honeymoon knowing that your reception site is in good hands. You'll also be able to relax knowing that your wedding photos have captured the memorable moments of your day, when you book with Northwest Wedding Photos.
