This week, I’m joined by Emily, who works behind the scenes at Little Wolf Catering and brings such a unique industry perspective to her own wedding day.
Emily and her husband Leo were married at the Glasshouse in Morningside back in 2021, and in this episode, she shares the story of planning a beautiful, food-focused celebration during the rollercoaster that was the pandemic era.
We chat about:
💜 Meeting through mutual friends in 2018 and getting engaged on top of the Pinnacles
💜 Planning a six-month wedding while working in the industry and already knowing which vendors she trusted
💜 Choosing the Glasshouse Morningside and why it was perfect for an April wedding
💜 Putting food and guest experience at the very top of their priorities
💜 Creating her custom dress with Kenny and Harlow and Leo’s custom Crane Brothers tux
💜 Skipping the bridal party and spending the morning surrounded by friends instead
💜 How the timing of the day felt and why the morning dragged more than expected
💜 Navigating a wedding during lockdowns and ending up with a beautiful 70-person celebration
💜 Her biggest tips from both a bride and a catering insider
💜 Why people really do remember the food, service, and overall guest experience
…and so much more!
Let me know what you think of this episode!
