- Appoint someone you trust to follow up the preparation of the hall and keep you updated (E.g.: pictures, detailed account); you’ll be busy with other wedding issues (no need to stress yourself up by trying to regiment everything).
Depending on the marriage formula you have chosen, you might need not only a hall, but also a swimming pool (for example).
