Discussions from Wedding Reception

Of weddings you have attended, and planning your own, what has worked best for seating for the 13-20something crowd? Are they seated with parents or at their own table with each other to mix and...

Were they allowed a full break period or did they only get a handful of minutes to eat dinner and hydrate before going straight back to work due to photos, toasts, music, etc?

Do we need them? are there ones we can get for around 300 and under? To rent maybe? Perhaps some alternatives to photo booths... or are they even necessary.??

We are having a non traditional ceremony in the morning with a reception later that evening. I am having a hard time coming up with the timeline of events. Toasts, special dances, cake cutting,...

We are looking into having Freebirds as our food option at our reception. It’s a small group of 65 people that’s just close family and friends. Has anyone or knows of anyone serving Freebirds at a...

Has anyone used a Nespresso machine for their coffee bar? I would just get coffee pods vs the espresso but, I don't have a keurig. Trying to figure out the best option!

Hey Brides! Looking for any and all recs you have for a lively and engaging DJ who can also emcee our reception in the Tri-state area. We are getting married in Tarrytown NY next spring and so NYV DJs...

I found out our wedding venue changed their menu completely and they didn't even notify us. The first menu that we received when we booked the venue was filled with options like hors d'oeuvres, plated...

Recommendations on fruit tables for weddings

Hi All! I have never used uber events or lyft events. I know how to set it up and such, just curious of if the rides are guranteed or not. If I create an event does it give drivers time to commit to...

Hello all! Having a hard time deciding if whether to have a cake or do a dessert vendor. My fiance and I dont really do cake but we do love cheesecake. Weve been to alot of weddings where the cake...
