Fall Weddings in Tallahassee, FL Tips for Getting Married During Football Season

Fall Weddings in Tallahassee, FL Tips for Getting Married During Football Season

News

Football and Fall Weddings in Tallahassee, FL go hand-in-hand. Even though Tallahassee is North Florida it’s very SOUTH! Meaning it’s a football town. So with Florida State University being #1 in college football Tallahassee in the Fall is a bit…hmm, crazy.

BUT with all that being said the weather in Tallahassee during October, November, and early December is amazing. The colors are perfect for outdoor rustic weddings. I feel bad for couples who want to get married during the Fall because the football schedules are not released until late February and early March. Plus game times are not released until a couple weeks before the actual game. I got married in October so I know what’s it’s like to plan a wedding around a football season. Seems a bit crazy, but in Tallahassee, you got to do it!! Everything from hotels to restaurants get booked up quickly on big home games. And on the two weekends that are bye-weeks everyone wants to get married so you better book your favorite vendors FAST!

If you’re planning a Fall wedding in Tallahassee, FL you have two options- pick a date and hope it’s not a big home game day OR wait for the scheduled to be released and hope your dream venue is still available. If you do pick a date before the FSU football schedule being released and then your date falls on a big game day, you really don’t have many options. If it REALLY bothers you, and you can afford to change the date, you could do that OR more realistically you will just have to get over. You’re guests should be attending your wedding because they care about YOU and I would hope that your marriage is more important then any football game.  So if your Fall weddings in Tallahassee, FL lands on a big game day and you think your guests are going to be distracted by needing to watch the game or knowing what is going on with the game you have a few options. Put a TV with the game on in the bar area, have your DJ make announcements with game score updates, project the game on a big screen in the reception room with no sound so everyone can dance and still watch a little, or kindly ask guests to refrain from football for one day.

Here's a picture of me and Ryan on our wedding day. This is one way we embraced the fact that our wedding fell on the Clemson game. Go Noles :)

If you do decide to wait for the schedule to come out and you could plan all the aspects of Fall weddings in Tallahassee, FL that do not require a date. For example, your dress, bridesmaids dresses, groomsmen outfits, flowers, centerpieces, invitation design, save the date design, honeymoon ideas, and more. You could have your favorite venue, photographer, wedding officiant, caterer, and cake baker decided so as soon as the schedule is released you could start booking them as fast as possible.

Fall weddings in Tallahassee, FL are gorgeous. I’m bias, like I said, I got married in October. I don’t like football and I like October so that’s why we did our wedding when we did it. If you are planning a Fall wedding in Tallahassee a lot of people will give you their opinion about whhhyyy would you get married during football season etc. etc. But don’t listen to them. When planning your wedding it’s your wedding and you need to do what makes you happy. Not everyone in the world likes football and you’re wedding will be beautiful whether it’s on a big game day or a bye-week.

Wedding at Golden Eagle Country Club in Tallahassee

Wedding at Golden Eagle Country Club in Tallahassee

News

On September 7, 2014, I had the privilege of officiating Hollie and Seth’s wedding at Golden Eagle Country Club in Tallahassee, FL. Golden Eagle Country Club is a wonderful venue for a wedding in Tallahassee because it’s full service. Meaning they offer tables, chairs, ceremony setup, linens, catering, bartending, day-of-coordinator, and much more. They offer many wedding packages that are much more cost effective than you would think. If you do have your ceremony at Golden Eagle there’s a beautiful white arch outside overlooking the lake. The arch can be decorated or not…either way it’s pretty. If it does rain on your wedding day and you are unable to have the ceremony outside there are a few cover and inside options that would be lovely for a wedding ceremony.

Hollie and Seth were very excited about getting married. They planned their wedding for about 1.5 years and had all the detailsorganized. The ceremony was outside with white chairs and rose pedals lining the isle. They had beautiful candles hanging from the white arch. It was absolutely gorgeous. During the ceremony they said their own special vows to one and other, and did a sand ceremony.

Another really neat aspect of Hollie and Seth’s wedding was that Hollie had a broach bouquet. She hired someone online to make it for her and it was gorgeous. It sparkled in the light like nothing I had ever seen!

On the day of Hollie and Seth’s wedding there were some dark clouds and rain sprinkles. BUT fortunately when it was time for the ceremony all was clear and we were able to have everything outside. The ceremony was wonderful and I really enjoyed being a part of their wedding at Golden Eagle Country Club in Tallahassee.

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Wagner!
