How are you supposed to know?

1. Start by prioritising

2. Think where your flowers fit in your theme

3. Budget, budget, budget

4. Think about the colours

6 Tips for Wedding Seating Arrangements

Aunt Lizzy wants to sit near Aunt Fran and Bob wants to chat with Joe and you need to make sure everyone gets a chance to be near the people they want to sit with. NOT an easy task, but this is how you will make your guests happy and comfortable.

1 Go through your list and see who the buddies are outside of family lines.

2.  If you invite kids you can put kids at a table by themselves  near a table  of parents nearby if they are old enough (over 5).

3 If anyone is disabled or Ill it will be best to put their table near the door and not across the room in a corner.

4 Put your youngest and biggest partyers near the bandstand and your guests more sensitive to music in the far end of the room.

5 Make sure everything is symmetrical.

6. Food service, Buffets...Don't put a buffet with stations on opposite ends of a room with tables in the middle and make people carry plates across the floor.

Top Tips for Planning the Perfect Wedding in Italy

Italy is a special place to have your wedding, offering the perfect setting to tie the knot with the one you love. The great thing about Italy is that is has something for everyone, from the rolling hills in the Tuscan countryside, to the beautiful beaches along the Amalfi Coast. However, having all these options can also be overwhelming!

Tip #1: Ignore regions and open your mind to outside of just of the “heavy-hitting” locations.

Tip #2: Italy has beautiful weather (most of the time). So be prepared just in case.

Tip #3: Regions and traditions in different countries is what makes them unique and special. Be as authentic as possible!

Tip #4: Dining is an experience – embrace the Italian way with food and timing, even if the wedding is completely international!

LGBT Weddings Montreal

At heart a wedding is about nothing more than two people in love standing up and declaring their love to be permanent. But it's not always that straightforward when it comes time for a same-sex couple to plan their nuptials.

"This is a job for life...

"This is a job for life... DJs are not like footballers or pop stars – we don't have a shelf life based on our age... the first wave of the bigDJs – Oakie, Pete Tong, Carl Cox, myself – we don't know what the retirement age is. And no one seems to have noticed that we're old, cos they don't have posters of us on the wall. As long as we can make it to gigs, stay up till 6AM, and provide the service, no one seems to care how old we are. Which is good!"

8 Tips for Hosting an Outdoor Wedding Ceremony and/or Reception

While indoor weddings have their own unique appeal, we're big fans of outdoor weddings for several reasons. Not only does being outside give us plenty of natural light to work with as photographers, but we also simply love the fresh air, stunning sunsets and overall welcoming feeling an outdoor setting provides!

1. Talk with Your Wedding Vendors (Especially the Photographer) About Your Outdoor Wedding

2. Look for Shade

3. Have a Backup Weather Plan

4. Dress Accordingly

5. Notify Your Guests About Your Outside Wedding

6. Remember Your Décor and Arrangements

7. Offer Pre-Ceremony Refreshments

8. Keep the Bugs Away

7 Tips for Avoiding a Wedding Toast Disaster

Here are a few simple tips to help you through your next wedding toast.

1. Keep the alcohol at bay. Even Dean Martin sipped apple juice when performing.

2. Don’t wing it. Think about what you are going to say long in advance. Then write it down.

3. Keep it short and simple. No more than three minutes.

4. Don’t rush it. Speak slowly and loudly enough for everyone to hear.

5. Tell one story about the bride and groom. An embarrassing anecdote may be funny — but this may not be the time to share it. Try to say something the couple would enjoy hearing. It’s their day, not yours.

6. If you want to get fancy by staging a skit, singing a song or performing some elaborate dance, be careful. Most of us dance more like “Seinfeld’s” Elaine than the Jackson Five’s Michael. And remember who are the real stars of the show.

7. Have fun. Think of giving a toast as a great opportunity, not a burden.

How to Choose a Wedding Photographer – 5 Tips to Make the Perfect Choice

We live in a time in which photography is the most important and least important thing in our lives. We take more photos than ever, yet very few have meaning to us. We fill our phones and our minds with images that often don’t live up to moments they contain. Your wedding day should not be one of these moments.

1.) It all starts with WHY

2.) Organization

3.) Communication

4.) Image Quality/Style

5.) Reviews & Referrals

"I'm not a jukebox.

"I'm not a jukebox. I don't play exactly what the crowd wants to hear - that doesn't make sense. But, I do look at people's requests. At the end of the day, they are the ticket payers and they are the ones that come to the show. If I played music that purely entertains me, I'd play very weird music."
