Wedding To Do List

What to do First ?

Are you engaged, planning a wedding, getting overwhelmed? I can help. Now that things have opened up, we see a lot of couples scrambling to pull together their dream weddings, competing with all the couples who have had to delay their weddings since 2019, 2020 and 2021. It’s blowing up! There is so much misinformation and noise out there on what to do, in what order and none of “those people” out there offering this the advice have any skin in your game. So who do you trust?

Some couples choose the perfect date for their wedding only to find the venue they wanted is no longer available. Many venues have gone out of business and kept large deposits from couples who couldn’t even have their weddings. Sucks.

Other business are repurposing their industrial or commercial spaces, barns or properties with tents, calling themselves wedding venues.
