By Hannah McCarthy Sales Manager When planning a wedding, couples typically fall in two categories. The first are couples who absolutely love it and want to experience the planning season to the fullest. They enjoy communicating with their vendors and figuring out all the small details that go into their special day. The other extreme are couples who do not like all the planning involved in putting together their wedding. They get overwhelmed with all the details and frustrated when communicating with vendors. Regardless of their mindset, all couples need extra help for their wedding day. Whether you enjoy planning your wedding or are beginning to consider the merits of eloping, having someone come alongside you to plan the wedding will make your engagement season much more enjoyable. In this blog, we’re going to share a few reasons why you should hire a wedding planner.  What is a Wedding Planner?
A wedding planner is different from a day of coordinator. A day of coordinator will meet with you once or maybe a few times to discuss your wedding, but is not involved in all the details of planning your wedding. They will make your day run smoothly, but all of the planning falls on you. If you have a very limited budget, a day of coordinator is a great option. They will ensure that your day is fantastic. A wedding planner comes alongside you and your fiancé as you plan your big day. They will be as involved as you want them to be. My suggestion is that you have them involved as much as possible. Hire them in the early stages of wedding planning that way you can get their insight from the very beginning. Experience Weddings are a planner’s job. They will have the expertise and know how to plan your wedding in the smoothest way possible and can walk you through the entire process. They will know what works and what doesn’t. They can calculate such details as how many staff will be needed, how much time is required for photos, what will be needed for your cocktail hour, and so much more. From discussions with you, the planner will be able to see what you want and then make it come to life for you. If you don’t have a solid vision, they will help you create it. Vendors Wedding planners are in the industry, so they are familiar with who the very best is in the industry. They can help you find a venue, florist, photographer, caterer, rental company, bartender, DJ, designer, and any other service you may want at your wedding. You can trust their suggestions because they have seen many vendors and know who outshines everyone else. Planners can reach out to your vendors and arrange details with them. Day of Ease Just like your planner organized and planned all of your details, they will do the same thing day of. You can be at peace on your wedding day because they know as much as you do about your big day, if not more. They know when and where everything is happening. They know how all the decorations will be set up. They know about any family drama, have made a plan to work around it, and will diffuse any family issues that arise. Your planner will field questions and phone calls, so you won’t be bothered. They know everything that goes into your special day, so you won’t need to worry about it. Hiring a wedding planner can make your engagement season much more enjoyable. Your wedding planner will ease your worries, give you peace of mind, and work out all of your details! The coordinators listed below are phenomenal and are sure to take away your wedding planning stress! Recommended Planners After the Engagement: www.aftertheengagement.com
By Hannah McCarthy Sales Manager Often times, wedding details are a reflection of the bride and her preparation. Some grooms want to be involved and others prefer to stay out of the planning process. One thing that the groom will definitely be a part of is the bachelor party. While many grooms enjoy going to Vegas with their buddies, some prefer something much more low key. In this blog, we are going to share a few non-traditional bachelor party ideas!

By Hannah McCarthy Sales Manager Find your seat and bon appetit! The reception can be the most fun part of the wedding for your guests. It can also be the most awkward. Every wedding is unique and so are the relationships of the people present. Some guests might be close friends and some might not like each other. Family can be great, but sometimes those relationships are strained. Some of your guests might be the life of the party, but some might not know anyone else there. Making a seating chart for your reception can help everyone have a blast on your big day! If you have members of your family at odds with each other, put them at two different tables. If you have a friend there that does not know anyone, place them with an outgoing and inclusive table. One of the things you will need to do is communicate seating arrangements with your guests. Having a seating chart at the front of the reception will give your guests direction! You can get creative and have fun with your seating chart. Below are a few of our favorite seating charts!
Each wedding is just as unique as your guests! Use these ideas to help you navigate the arrangement of your reception. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about how to setup your big day!

By Gianna Bellino Hiring Manager There are some things for your wedding day that you are better off making a straight investment in. The food on the plate can’t be returned, and the perfect staff is irreplaceable (Sorry, shameless plug!), but there are other items you can rent that will save you so much time and money in the process.
Florals Florals are one decoration that any wedding cannot go without, and unfortunately, renting is scarcely an option for this unless your flowers are fake and can be rented. A bonus to buying the flowers is that you can dry and keep them as mementos, and pass them off to your guests as a parting gift. However, the vases and decor that the flowers come in can be rented. Save hundreds by paying for the flower itself and not spending as much on the arrangement or vases.
Diamonds It may sound unusual, but you can rent your jewelry including diamonds for your wedding. Other than that perfect engagement ring to last forever, other earrings and large necklaces will only be worn once. Sites like William and Henri allow you to rent jewelry (yes, even rings!) so you can be as elaborate as possible without breaking the bank.
We hope these rental ideas have been helpful! Feel free to reach out with any questions you ma have about renting items for your big day!
