The reception is everything – the secret to an unforgettable wedding celebration with one of Sweden’s best wedding coordinators

Are you looking for practical ways to plan a wedding and tips on how to avoid the most common pitfalls? How do you manage over 30 weddings in a year – and manage to plan three in a single weekend? The answer is Keyvan from @inodochlust.se, one of Sweden’s best wedding coordinators. With a background as both a musician and an interior designer, he sketches out weddings as precise 3D designs in Photoshop and transforms empty venues into magical wedding settings (his signature touch? Over 5,000 metres of fairy lights hanging from the ceiling!).

This episode is a real goldmine for anyone who wants to avoid the classic pitfalls and plan a day that guests will never forget.

Keyvan takes us behind the scenes of a hectic peak season and shares his top strategies for the best running order, how to build a world-class team of suppliers, and how to keep the atmosphere buzzing from the first cocktail to the final dance. We also discuss common mistakes, why ‘doing it yourself’ can sometimes be both more expensive and more exhausting than bringing in professionals, and how to handle everything from the toastmaster to the flowers and logistics.

But amidst all the logistics and perfectionism, Keyvan reminds us of the most important thing of all: that the bride and groom don’t forget about each other. He explains why you must lock yourselves away in a room, just the two of you, immediately after the ceremony, simply to savour the moment and breathe a sigh of relief together.

Among other things, we discuss:

• The time trap: Why you absolutely mustn’t schedule the wedding ceremony too early in the day.
• The reception: Why the piano music puts guests to sleep and how to create an icebreaker that sets the tone straight away.
• The Toastmaster School: How to choose the right people and ensure the speeches are short and entertaining.
• The hidden room: Why you must hide away completely on your own for 10 minutes after the ceremony – without photographers, friends or family.

Whether you’re dreaming of a fully organised wedding or want to organise as much as possible yourself, Keyvan’s practical advice will give you a whole new perspective on your big day. Click play and join us!
