Dear Wedding Venues: Please Invest in Better Hangers

One small touch can make a big difference—why every wedding venue should offer beautiful hangers for their couples’ special day.

As a wedding photographer, I have the privilege of capturing some of life’s most cherished moments. I’ve seen couples pour their hearts into every little detail—from florals to stationery to styling their ceremony. But there’s one small (yet powerful) element that often gets overlooked by both couples and venues alike: the humble hanger.

This is a formal plea to all venues, hotels, and spaces that regularly host weddings:
Please consider investing in a small variety of high-quality, elegant hangers.

Why? Because not every couple thinks about bringing a beautiful hanger for their dress or suit. And let’s be honest—nothing ruins a stunning gown or tailored suit photo quite like a plastic department store hanger or a bulky velcro one from the hotel closet.

By simply offering a few stylish wooden, velvet, or acrylic hangers, you can instantly elevate the look of a couple’s getting-ready photos. These early images set the tone for the entire wedding gallery, and they’re often some of the most emotional and sentimental shots of the day.

It’s not just about aesthetics—it’s about experience. Offering beautiful hangers shows that you’ve thought through the finer details. It’s a small gesture that can leave a lasting impression and add a touch of luxury that couples will remember (and tell their friends about).

As someone who has worked in countless venues, I can tell you that this one thoughtful touch makes a difference every single time.

And to all the couples reading this—add “a beautiful hanger” to your packing list.
It’s a tiny investment that will make a big difference in your final gallery, especially for that iconic dress or suit photo.

If you’re a venue wanting to create an effortlessly photogenic experience for your couples, I’d love to chat and offer more ways to elevate the visual story of their day.
