…Wedding coordinators are so helpful at tying up loose ends and making sure all sorts of logistics are handled. Many venues require certificates of insurance – your coordinator will make sure these are collected in time. Worried about your bridal party missing a cue at the wedding ceremony? Hire a wedding coordinator! They will run through a detailed rehearsal and stand by your side on the wedding day to make sure it all flows smoothly. If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator, lemme tell ya, they are SO worth it.

Caitlin of Plan It Event Design & Management says…
No matter how well you plan, nothing can prepare you for the anticipation and energy needed to execute your perfect wedding day, unless you’ve done this before professionally. Having a seasoned pro there for you on your wedding day, other than family and friends running around, is so valuable and often priceless. There are many things we experts look out for in terms of logistics and management like What time is the DJ arriving and what songs will they play at which time? When will they be queued to know you are walking down the aisle to change the song? Who will escort and guide your guests for a smooth transition into the cocktail hour from the ceremony? Who will sign for the cake order while you are getting ready? What if guests arrive that didn’t RSVP? What if the wrong color linens show up? And much more…

Brides often ask me for my input on a variety of things pertaining to their wedding day. From the color of their bridesmaid dresses to the types of bowties the groomsmen should wear, I’m always more than happy to give my input on what will look best when it comes to their wedding photos. Over the years, I’ve found that there are some things that can make a substantial impact on the way a wedding photographs and I wanted to share my top picks for where I think my clients should splurge on their wedding day that will make the most impact in their photos. Dare I say that, more than anything else, the CHAIRS you choose for your reception space will make the biggest impact on the look and feel of your reception space.
