Wedding Restaurant picked Out!
Megan, on February 14, 2021 at 4:52 AM

Hopefully I don't change my mind because I just got done with renting out the terrace of a GORGEOUS restaurant in Miami---Area 31. We have a super small guest list, so it was thankfully an option....

Food question for the ladies who are already married
Ava, on April 27, 2021 at 3:39 PM

There has been a lot of discussion today about couples not eating at their receptions. I am wondering if there is any correlation between what type of meal you served and whether you get to eat it. I...

I need help with wedding favor suggestions. We're getting married in November. Right now my ideas are a mini succulent with a little card attached saying "let love grow" or make a candle in a small...

Cocktail hour space
Natty, on April 28, 2021 at 3:39 PM

Me and FH just booked our venue which has more space than we know what to do with! If the weather turns out to be perfect, we will be using the outdoor garden for the ceremony, which would leave the...

Gf/df Cake Options
Elizabeth, on April 26, 2021 at 5:00 PM

I am getting married in September, but my cake baker recently told me she is moving to Scotland a couple weeks before my wedding, so I am trying to improvise. I have a dairy and gluten allergy, so the...

Feeding vendors logistics
Michelle, on April 27, 2021 at 5:10 PM

Are they eating at the same time as guests? Are they eating in the same area with a designated table on the outside of the group in the reception room? What are they being served? The same menu as...

EmeraldBride, on March 28, 2021 at 5:14 PM

I don't have the best relationship with my dad - it's just 'meh'.. nothing special. Long story short - my parents divorced when I was young. I lived with my mom full time. My siblings lived with my...

Hello lovelies, I need help! Since we cancelled our venue and were getting down to the wire with our DIY backyard wedding, my newest dilemma is what to use for dinnerware. I am in a toss up for...

Couples who didn’t eat?
Michelle, on April 27, 2021 at 2:46 PM

So many brides say they were unable to eat. How does that work? Is it due to nerves or something else? If you did eat at your wedding, did you have to force yourself to sit down or was it like any...

Cake/cupcake Servings
Frevrwevr, on April 27, 2021 at 1:58 PM

When ordering cake and desserts, should you order enough for everyone to get something or enough for everyone to get one of everything? Our cake is big enough for everyone to get a slice and we have...

Is anyone planning on having a groom's cake? Do you think it's worth the money?

Kids’ meals
Michelle, on April 25, 2021 at 5:02 PM

What are you serving? Will they get a choice on the reply card of a plated meal like adults do? Or will they have their own buffet? Are you giving older kids the option of an adult meal?

Reception entrance
Katherine, on April 24, 2021 at 9:16 AM

Has anyone done a slow song for the couple's entrance? I was thinking the bridesmaids and groomsmen men come in to something upbeat and fun, then a slow down for us to add a little drama to the...

Floor Plan
Kristin, on April 25, 2021 at 10:09 AM
