QUICK WEDDING TIPS

BOOKING A DJ

HIRING AND OFFICIANT

HIRING AND OFFICIANT

Ask them where their next gig is and go audition them. Do the work - go over the music and the timeline - discuss departure time for photographer, staff, bar tenders etc. 

CONTACT DJ STYLES - COMPLETE MUSIC - TOO HOT TO STOP

(Not a paid recommendation)

HIRING AND OFFICIANT

TRY NOT TO ask your friends to get ordained and make funny jokes of such an important event. DO THE WORK! Go over different ceremonies, meet with officiant several times to ensure all angles are covered. Ensure start and finish times are understood. CONTACT AMOR CEREMONIES

THE CAKE MISTAKE

HIRING AND OFFICIANT

THE CAKE MISTAKE

Every time I leave a wedding I can see cake served but uneaten as far as the eye can see!  Such a waste of money... AND CAKE! People will NOT eat a huge slice of cake - all you need to serve is a "token" - a taste of a cake that you and your husband ate as a symbol. A small 4"X2" slice is all that needs to be served! 

CONTACT ABC CAKE SHOP - NOTHING BUNDT CAKES

(I only get free cake for the recommendation)

FLORIST

THE CAKE MISTAKE

Simple - go to a reliable and reputable place. PEOPLE'S FLOWERS has been doing it for 50 years -they know ALL THERE IS TO KNOW about flowers.

WEDDING RECEPTION SCHEDULE

Get things done as quickly as possible - do NOT have a two hour cocktail hour - 45 minutes is plenty. Do events in this order and back to back: Toast, Cake cutting,  father dance, mother dance, 1st dance, say hi to your guests, La Marcha (or not), dollar dance (or not), garter and bouquet toss and then enjoy the evening without more events to keep doing, those who need to leave early get to enjoy your wedding more and now you can let go and have fun! It is also polite to photographer and any other staff that is being paid by the hour.

IT IS YOUR WEDDING

"They don't want me to do it..." 

WAIT A SECOND!  It is your wedding, if you feel you need flamingos on the tables, then flamingos it is! Anything you do not do to please someone else is going to become something you regret not doing and you wish you had. GO WITH IT! Make your day as special as you imagined while planning it in your head. MAKE SURE everyone is happy and smiling and catering to your day being that much more special. 

IT IS YOUR WEDDING - YOU ARE THE BOSS!

GETTING READY

GETTING READY

GETTING READY

Whatever time you think is "plenty of time" - IS NOT. That is the rule of thumb. So start four hours before your ceremony, ensure all of your bride's maids are there early with you having coffee and eating breakfast burritos. Make sure the guys are READY AND DRESED TWO HOURS BEFORE YOUR CEREMONY and AT the ceremony location ONE HOUR AT LEAST before your ceremony. Make a list starting with the worst thing you could forget and go down from there. HAVE FUN! Your wedding starts then!
