Has anyone done/heard of a shift wedding or open house? I am supposed to get married in April. I really do not want to push it back, but I also do not want to be unsafe with COVID. I was thinking we...
I've noticed that alot of venues say loud music is not allowed. Does that mean that a dj cannot play? Or do they adjust accordingly? Obviously you don't want it so loud that it disrupts any...
