I need an opinion....?

I found this amazing idea online for my wedding reception but I wanted to get some opinions on it... I found this website called scentevents.com and basically you rent this machine and whatever scents you want (example scents they give on their website can range from baked apple pie, chocolate, popcorn, to flowers, or margaritas) can scent the reception hall for the length of the reception to give it a themed feel. I am planning a fall themed wedding reception and I thought the smell of spiced cider or apple pie would really give our guests the feel of autumn but I'm not sure how people would react to this! What do you all think?!

I need an opinion....?
it sounds neat, but it might be a problem for others....some people have allergies to that kind of thing and others are sensative or just plain dont like certain scents. the apple pie would be a problem for me becuase the smell of cinnamin makes me feel sick. it might also give people headaches to smell it the whole reception. I honestly wouldnt waste the money on it and risk it being a problem for your guests.
Reply:I think that is A great idea!!! People will love it if the scent is not too strong.
Reply:sounds cool , good idea and something different
Reply:I love scents, and think they can make any place feel more beautiful. I love the spicy apple scent you are talking about, and think it would be a lovely addition to your ceremony venue! Best wishes!
Reply:I love the idea. I love smells and I love when smells remind me of something. It would be sweet if the smell of spiced cider always reminded your guests of your special day.
Reply:Why not use a bunch of spiced apple candles and give it a nice glow?? Try to incorporate them into your centerpieces.
Reply:I wouldn't bother. Let the scents of the flowers you will have and the food you will be serving be enough.
Reply:That's a very nice idea :)
Reply:I have never heard of anything like that, but it seems pretty cool. Sounds like it could get expensive though. Why not just use candles?
Reply:I'd advise against it. I have many friends who are allergic . . . and need everything unscented. They would become ill and have to leave the reception early. That wouldn't be any fun. =(





I'm serious. I have some friends one cannot even wear cologne around. If you use a scent and have just one person like that in attendance, things will not be fun.
Reply:As long as the scent is not too overpowering (in case some people don't enjoy that particular scent or have allergies of some sort), I'm sure that it would add a nice touch to the reception.
Reply:that sound wonderful, just make sure the scent isn't overbearing as some people get nauseous and headaches...you know what i mean, when youre stuck at the movies next to the woman with a whole bottle of perfume on?
Reply:This sounds good in theory, but I think it may be a mistake. One reason, obviously, being that many people are allergic or very sensitive to perfumes and scents. Secondly, for the same reason you never put a scented candle on a dining table, you don't want any smells to compete with the meals, it can definitely ruin the dinner.
Reply:that sound so cool. i am get married next month i am going to go check out that website thanks
Reply:I am not sure I would go with a "scented" wedding reception. What about those who may be sensitive to smells or those with allergies. If you do decide to go with it, I would recommend candles, that way it is less invasive and those who are sensitive could possibly steer clear easier.
Reply:very unique idea, I like it.


as long as it is within your budget, and your fiancee agree with it too.
Reply:You might want to find out if people have severe sinus problems first. If they can not use scented candles then they may not be able to take it. Or find out if it is a strong sent or just a hint of smell.


Other then that it sound like a very cool ideal.I know that the sent of spiced cider makes me think of fall.


Good luck and i hope you are able to do it.
Reply:welli think that would be a wonderful idea
Reply:my mother's work would do something similar to what you are saying and it would smell so great. :) as a guest i would love it, i would do it. :)
Reply:I would suggest serving spiced cider and pie. Have the actual natural aromas fill the air. Scent machines typically use artificial chemicals to achieve different scents. If you have any asthmatics coming to your wedding, you might end up with an ambulance at your reception. That would definitely NOT be the ambiance you wanted.
