Event Planning: Assignment #1

Prague, Czech Republic
For our first assignment for the class, we were expected to research 10 points about a city, this is what I came up with for a potential wedding client. I chose this particular destination because I'll be visiting here in August.



  1. Located in the heart of Central Europe, venues could be:
    • Town Hall

    • Prague Castle
    • The Charles Bridge
    • Old Town Square

  4. The weather is nicest in Spring or Fall, more specifically:
    • April

  5. Incorporate local traditions into your ceremony and reception:
    • Friends of the bride weave a rosemary wreath for her the night before the wedding
    • A plate could be broken in front of the bride and groom for them to sweep together, symbolizing their new partnership and working relationship in life
    • The couple might jointly eat a bowl of soup, with on spoon, while covered with a large towel to symbolize trust
    • In place of rice or bird seed, Czech tradition would be guests throwing peas at the departing couple in order to ensure a fertile union
  6. Czechs takes their spas seriously, they have two main spa towns.
  7. They have hundreds of architectural landmarks and beautiful scenery to capture into photos for great memories
  8. There’s many different means to arriving at your wedding:
