What happens
A meal for the guests who have travelled, usually a day or two before the first big event: both families, the out-of-town relatives, sometimes everyone. In some families this is a cook night, or an aiburobhat (the bride's last meal as an unmarried woman) in its own right.
Vendors: catering or a restaurant buyout, decor for the room (tablescapes, a welcome sign), and a planner to coordinate arrivals, hotel blocks and transport.
