What was your wedding speed bump??
JennV in Planning, on May 5, 2016 at 3:05 PM

I live in the North Shore area and apparently October is a popular month for hotels to require a two night stay for the weekend. I had no clue about this and started getting super nervous. The first...

Cake Cutting Knives??
JennV in Community Conversations, on April 14, 2016 at 2:34 PM

So... are cake cutting knives really a thing? Doesn't a venue have knives to cut cakes? Someone please explain the reasoning behind it, unless its just a 'keep-sake'
