Signature Scent for Wedding Planners and Venues: The Detail Couples Remember

Couples tour many venues and meet many planners. A signature scent makes yours the one they remember, and adds a lasting touch to every wedding you create.

A couple choosing a venue might see five or six in a weekend. By evening the ballrooms and gardens start to blur. The venue they remember is the one that made them feel something, and scent is one of the most powerful ways to do it.

For venues: scent the tour

When a couple walks back in on their wedding day and the venue smells exactly as it did on the tour, the whole day feels familiar and right.

For planners: offer a wedding scent

A signature wedding scent is a natural, high-value detail to include in your packages:

  1. Help the couple choose a scent that suits their season, venue and style.
  2. Scent the day: getting-ready suite, ceremony entrance and reception.
  3. Coordinate favours and gifts in the same scent for guests, the bridal party and the parents.
  4. Leave them with a keepsake to take home, so the scent stays with them.

Couples remember the planner who thought of everything, including how the day smelled.
