Father Daughter Dance
Jade, on April 2, 2021 at 9:02 PM

What song did you past brides have for your father daughter dance if you had one? I plan on playing Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman.

Post Wedding Reception Departure
Nikki, on April 2, 2021 at 12:09 PM

Have any of you done a departure with friends? So instead of driving away by yourselves as bride & groom, you hop into a limo with your close friends/wedding party?

Think we just found our venue
Cornell, on April 2, 2021 at 1:54 PM

We found a beautiful venue but it’s about 30 mins from any nice hotel. Is 30 mins too far to travel we would provide transportation. What do you guys think?

Reception walkout? So nervous!
Jessie, on April 2, 2021 at 8:54 PM

I'm an awkward person, I'm not really a dancer, and I'm not good at being the center of attention. My husband is a little better than me. We had our ceremony already, so now we're doing our reception...

Venue overwhelm
Sema, on March 30, 2021 at 4:45 PM

There are sooo many options!! How many venues did you tour/ how did you decide what venue you wanted? I'm reached out to a lot of venues and there seems to be a lot of decent options. It's kind of...

Food and Bev minimums
Maureen, on March 30, 2021 at 12:54 AM

I’m curious if other brides have had their venues waive their food and beverage minimums if they couldn’t meet it because of guests not showing due to Covid. The last thing I want is to be forced to...
