Is anyone using edible flowers? If yes, where did you get them? Do you have pictures?
I was thinking of playing some oldies music during dinner, such as Frank Sinatra, etc. Has anyone played oldies music at their reception? If so, should I mix it with some new stuff as well or keep the...
How did you decide what food presentation you wanted for your guests?
Hi there, I’m getting married in a week, and I can’t believe I haven’t thought of this before. So I’m trying to figure out when we toast with champagne in the flutes vs toast with speeches. Is it...
Hey all! we don’t really want speeches (unless any of our people absolutely want to!). Have you been to weddings where there were no speeches? Were they missed? We are also thinking of us toasting our...
Hi all! So my wedding reception is in the Crown Room of the Fairmont hotel in San Francisco. It’s the very top floor of the large tower that’s apart of the Fairmont and it has an absolutely incredible...
What did you all choose for your last song of your reception? We are wracking our brains about it, lol!

When we hire a bartender do they bring the portable bar or do we have to rent one?
Are there any suggestions
For those that already got married, how many guest didn’t show up? And what did you end up doing with the extra food?
What song did you enter your reception to? We love to have fun and love all sorts of music. We were considering some EDM (a mash up of Sandstorm and Ke$ha’s TikTok) or something else that was...
I'm in lockdown here in Australia, looking for some uplifting, joyful stories about the funniest thing that happened at your reception or ceremony! Did a child sit on your veil? Did your father in law...
