SPOILER ALERT: There is no one “right” or “wrong” way for you and your VIPs to enter for your ceremony. But building your own processional can be a confusing process if you’re tasked with creating it yourselves. If you’re getting married in a church or incorporating a lot of religious or cultural el [...]

This first message is called an "inquiry" because [...]
A few weekends ago, as we were getting ready to start a wedding rehearsal at one of our couple's venues, the on-site coordinator walked up to our client with a clipboard and piece of paper. We knew in a heartbeat that it was a "dreaded" questionnaire. Now, we're really not fans when venues and vendo [...]
