Has any one DIY'ed uplighting? Our DJ doesn't do it, which seems to be the "norm" and I don't want to have to hire and manage a 2nd vendor for this but I do think it might be a nice addition to our...

Hi All!!! We are having a smaller wedding and aren't "young" so we are trying to be super thoughtful about what we actually spend time and money on, in order to customize our wedding ... both for us...

So I have struggled a lot with choosing a photographer - It became apparent I wasn't going to get what I wanted for my budget so I increased it significantly in order to book a photographer I wouldn't...

So let me start by saying I think the answer is probably smacking me in the face but I feel like there may be angles I am not seeing... hoping for some WW help! I am managing the budget and so I am...

Hi - Looking for feedback on how you determine how much to tip vendors - and which vendors you tip... For example - we have a 20% (or maybe more) service charge built in for our caterers - do we tip...
