5 Ways To Plan An Unplugged Ceremony

1. Communicate your wishes early

Start by setting the expectations with your guests early on. Include a note in your wedding invitations or on your wedding website explaining your desire for an unplugged ceremony. A simple message such as, “We invite you to be fully present with us during our ceremony, and kindly ask that you turn off all devices,” can set a respectful tone for your wishes.

2. Signage that speaks volumes

Upon arrival at Huntsmill Farm, let beautifully crafted signs do the talking. Position signs at the entrance or as guests arrive from the car park to gently remind them of your unplugged preferences. Phrases like, “Unplug with us,” or “We invite you to put down your devices and enjoy the moment,” can serve as elegant reminders.

3. A personal request

As the ceremony begins, have your registar/celebrant make a brief announcement, reiterating your wish for an unplugged ceremony. A personal message can often resonate more deeply with guests, ensuring they understand the significance of the request. This can be a moment of connection, emphasising the importance of experiencing the ceremony together, without distractions.

4. Provide a professional alternative

Reassure your guests that the moments will be captured beautifully by your professional photographer. Our picturesque setting, from the countryside views to our rustic barn, provides the perfect backdrop for stunning photography. Let your guests know that you’ll be sharing these professional photos, allowing them to relax and enjoy the ceremony device-free.

5. Create a phone drop-off point

For those who might find it hard to part with their devices, set up a designated phone drop-off point. This can be a beautifully decorated table at the entrance where guests can leave their phones before taking their seats. You can make it fun and engaging by providing them with a token or a small card that they can exchange for their device after the ceremony.
