Are you all ending closing the bar before the reception ends? Our wedding starts at 4, cocktail hour from about 5 to 6. Reception ends at 10. We're thinking about closing the bar around nine to give...

So, we requested a plated dinner. My venue has suggested as an alternative, if we want, we can offer our guests more than one protein on the plate. The idea is that it will give them more than one...

So, we're having an outdoor wedding and ceremony. We keep going back and forth on the date. Ideally, we'd like to do it the weekend of 4/10 or 4/17. I think the average is about 85-88 that time of...

So, our destination wedding venue is on a rooftop in Tucson, AZ. The way it works is we'll have exclusive access to the roof from 4 to 10, at which point they have to open it up to the public, BUT we...

Is it customary for venues to tailor their contract for each wedding, or do ppl just typically sign it straightaway? I'm curious what the process was like. Did you go back and forth a few times about...

Hi all, We're trying to determine whether we spend an extra 3k on a resort wedding to ensure that our out of town guests (approximately 20-25--the rest are locals) are comfortable and have something...

So, I read here that even if your venue has an on-site coordinator it may be a good idea to still hire one, as the venue's coordinator is working on behalf of the venue and not necessarily you, or at...

So, we're foodies. My worst fear is serving nasty wedding food and being thoroughly embarrassed. My friends says no one will care because they'll be drunk lol, but that doesn't work for me. If I'm...

So, I'm considering hiring a day-of coordinator for my wedding next March. We live in NY and are getting married in Tucson, AZ (we lived there once for 7 years). I'm on the fence because our wedding...

So, we're having a garden ceremony and reception at a botanical gardens in AZ (or a rooftop wedding, TBD next month). I am remarrying my ex hubby (first wedding was courthouse). No wedding party...

Maybe I'm in the minority. lol. I'm re-marrying my ex-husband next year. We were married for 8 yeas (together 12), divorced in 2012, and now we're back together--better than ever! We'd like to have an...
