If you know that you will have guests with disabilities attending your nuptials, be sure to take them into consideration when scouting locations for your ceremony and reception. Be sure to ask the event coordinator if there are accessible walkways, restrooms, and seating for your special-needs guests. For example, you’ll want to confirm that reception tables will be at a comfortable height, and that there is room for wheelchairs to maneuver through the seating arrangement. You should also keep in mind that some of your disabled guests might need assistance with hors d’oeuvres, bar service, and anything else you may have planned.

If you are unsure if guests with disabilities will be attending, you can always list special-needs information -- such as recommendations for seating and parking -- on your personal wedding website, along with an encouraging note that anyone with special needs should feel free to contact you directly or through your site.
