More Quality Time on Your Wedding Day

I often hear from couples that they wished they had more moments together on their wedding day. The day is full of emotions, conversations, program points, and excitement — and often, true quality time as a couple gets lost. To help you avoid that, here are five simple ways to create more togetherness on your wedding day.


1. Sweetheart Table!
A wonderful way to enjoy more time as a couple during the reception is the Sweetheart Table.
Instead of sitting at a long head table with the wedding party, the two of you sit at a small private table just for yourselves.

This allows you to:

  • focus on each other
  • talk about the day so far
  • actually eat your dinner in peace

And yet, you are still surrounded by all your loved ones.

2. First Look
The First Look has become increasingly popular — and for good reason.
You meet before the ceremony for an intimate, emotional moment.

Benefits:

  • It calms your nerves
  • You get beautiful photos
  • You share one of the most meaningful moments of the day privately

The surprise remains: the groom stands with his back turned and then turns around when ready.

3. Private Last Dance
As the party comes to an end and your guests leave, a private last dance is a truly magical moment.
You choose a meaningful song and dance alone in your wedding venue — just the two of you.

It’s a heartfelt, intimate way to close the day and soak up all the emotions.

4. Step Away Together
During the party, sneak away for a few minutes — just the two of you.
This could be a garden, a quiet corner, or anywhere slightly removed from the crowd.

You can:

  • breathe for a moment
  • watch your own celebration from afar
  • reconnect and share impressions

These small pauses feel incredibly grounding.

5. A Private Toast
Schedule 15–20 minutes during the cocktail hour or reception for a private toast.
Create a small area slightly away from the guests where you can celebrate the moment together.

A glass of champagne, a quiet moment, and the reminder:
“This day is about us.”

It’s entirely up to you how you include these moments — but if quality time is a priority, make sure to plan it intentionally.

Wedding days are fast, full, emotional — without structured “us-time,” it often gets lost.
