Band VS DJ - why???
SXC, on February 21, 2013 at 10:12 PM

What was worth it vs what do you regret?
Jessica, on October 30, 2023 at 10:18 PM

What do you wish you did looking back? What do you believe was worth the effort/price? What do you regret having or purchasing for your reception?

Is it rude to accommodate an “Adult Only” wedding? Dancing? Drinking? The groom biting the garter from the bride’s thigh?

Too much?
Halie, on June 11, 2019 at 8:01 PM

I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out if this song is too 'heavy' if you will. This song means a lot to me and my fiance, but it's it to much for a first dance? I'm really torn because the...

Are weddings boring?
Gabby, on June 12, 2021 at 9:15 PM

How does everyone handle table/seating cards?
Alexandra, on October 11, 2023 at 10:51 AM

Do you do individual cards, or some type of board situation? Do you hand write or have printed? What is the most cost effective??
