Earlier this year, Miller’s former co-worker Ginger, a 55-year-old first-time bride, married Grammy-winning composer Jerry Peters (Marvin Gaye, Earth Wind & Fire, Lee Ritenour). It “was spectacular,” Miller says of the wedding, which featured performances by Marilyn McCoo, Billy Davis and Ta-Ta Vega.
Undoubtedly, Miller’s sister’s wedding had such an impact, that in a William P. Miller Special Events’ ceremony and reception, “the most important element is to incorporate significant and meaningful elements,” he stresses. An example of a Miller-esque idea: instead of assigning guests a table “number,” each table is named after the couple’s favorite restaurants (ie “You’re at The Charthouse,” or “You’re at the Ivy.”)
To express gratitude for a guest’s attendance, Miller emphasizes the importance of being certain every guest is greeted and provided with instructions. While a couple is having post-ceremony photographs taken, be sure that guests are properly attended to, with entertainment or refreshments while they wait for the reception to begin.
And as the trademark of a Miller-produced wedding, heartfelt gestures are encouraged. He tells groomsonline, “The best thing a groom can do for his bride is ”to be involved in the planning process;” when asked his opinion, he says, “be open and honest,” adding, “he should provide the bride with any information she requests in a timely manner, like guest names, addresses, groomsmen’s names).”
Lastly, there should always be an emphasis on thoughtfulness that Miller hopes will enlighten each of the marriages he’s help start. He advises grooms: remember to buy your bride a special wedding present “and have it delivered to her while she is dressing for the wedding ceremony.”
