Vendor shoutouts
A huge thank you to the vendors who contributed their wisdom to this episode:
Rachel (Wedding Events Coordinator, Cleveland Estate): Make the day represent you rather than strictly following what is trending on TikTok and Instagram.
Ruby (Videographer Down the Road Weddings): Provide drinks for the ceremony - it sets a great tone and acts as a big, warm welcome for your guests.
Dani (Singer/DJ/Stylist, Logan Events): Sit your family on the opposite side of where you stand during the ceremony so they can see your faces, rather than your backs. Also, avoid timing your aisle walk to a specific song moment, keep table styling simple so it doesn't impede guest interactions, and remember: if you want people on the dance floor, the couple needs to be on the dance floor!
Jacinta (Musician/Planner/Florist, Champagne Electric): Don't forget to spend quality time with each other! The day goes by in a blur, so build in time to step away together.
Melissa (Celebrant, Marry Me Mel): "Pay more, do less." Let your vendors do the heavy lifting, hire a professional MC, and remember that you are the guests of honor, not the hosts.
Alyce Bailey (Celebrant): Put specific names on the front-row seats at your ceremony to avoid awkward delays or confusion among extended family members.
Nick Mercy (DJ, More Than a DJ): Consider a change of dress for the bride when it's time for dancing so you can move comfortably.
Chris (DJ/MC Apples): Provide comfy shoes (like sneakers or fluffy slippers) for later on in the night to keep the dance floor going.
John Edney (Celebrant/DJ/MC): Embrace the imperfections. Things outside of your control will happen, so let it roll off your back like water off a duck's back.
Sarah Chippendale (Celebrant): "Marry someone with nipple tassels" (Hey, whatever works to keep things uniquely you!).
