Bridal PARTY!!
April 26th, 2010The Power of Anticipation
April 24th, 2010Take a few moments the night before or morning of your wedding, to envision everything that you have planned for your big day.Think through the sequence of events. By doing this you’ll feel mentally prepared for everything that’s going to happen. You’ll have a wonderful excited positive attitude that will spread out to all your family, guests, vendors and most of all each other. Now you’re ready for the most amazing night of your life!!
Preparation is the Key to a Great Wedding!
April 23rd, 2010I recommend having all the details for your wedding finalized about a month ahead of time. This will allow time to make any minor last minute adjustments. Give your vendors all the info they need to do their job. You’ll get their best results and you’ll be able to relax and enjoy your big day. Try to keep changes last minute changes minimum, if possible. Do the work, then leave it up to the pros!
Hire Friendly Experts
April 22nd, 2010To fully judge a vendor, try to set up a face to face meeting. This is by far the best way to judge a vendor’s work. Also, consider how comfortable you feel with this person. This is especially important for your Band, Wedding Planner, Venue and Photographer. These are the people you’ll be dealing with the most. Build your team with the vendors you feel the most comfortable with, not only as expert professionals, but who are also caring, friendly people you like!!
What YOU Love!
April 21st, 2010Fill your wedding with everything you both LOVE. Pick the colors, flowers, music, dresses, food, venue and guests that represent every that says who you are as a couple. Even if Martha Stewart, the Kardshians, or the Knot say it isn’t the hottest trend for 2010 it doesn’t matter. Your wedding has to be YOURS. Your wedding should say, ” This is who WE are, and what we LOVE!”
What Makes a Song Danceable?
April 20th, 2010The truth is, there is no measurable answer. As you think about what songs you’d like your band to play, try this: Close your eyes and picture yourself at the wedding hearing that song. Would you be inspired to stay on the dance floor? Some songs are great to listen to but not good for dancing. A professional band leader knows the difference. It’s important you do too.
Remember to Say Thanks!
April 19th, 2010After you’ve returned from your honeymoon and are reflecting back on your wedding there’s one important thing you can do to help all the people that helped you. Write reviews about them. They are incredibly valuable not only for the vendors themselves, but also to other couples that are considering hiring them. When vendors speak about how great they are is one thing, but when a bride from last weekend’s wedding raves, the creditability goes up dramatically. It only takes a few minutes and is GREATLY appreciated!
Hire who you trust and trust who you hire!
April 18th, 2010You’ve spent a lot of time researching and choosing the absolute best vendors for your wedding, right? The next step is to TRUST them. They have likely performed hundreds of weddings in a variety of sizes and venues and dealt with nearly every situation. They know how to handle everything for you. You hired them for their expertise, so rely on them to help you every step of the way. Hire who you trust and trust who you hire!
Whose Wedding is it Anyway?
April 17th, 2010As you plan your big day, you will get a lot of opinions. Listen to them all, but ultimately it’s YOUR wedding. What if your cheesy Uncle say you HAVE to the Electric Slide? Or a florist says you HAVE to have $50,000 worth of flowers? Your well meaning parents may base the prices or ideas from 1979. Your little sister may LOVE hot pink OMG, but you might not agree. Let them know how much you appreciate their help. Keep an open mind, but ALWAYS consider the source!
The Best Time to Book Your Vendors
April 16th, 2010It’s never too early to be booking your wedding vendors. OK maybe over two years is a little much, but in general it’s always to your advantage. By booking well in advance you can get much higher quality vendors because more dates will be available. This will also give you time to be guests at your friends’ weddings, read blog articles etc… You can relax knowing you got great vendors already set up for your big day. Then you can make decision based on preference instead of just availability.

Real Stories of Caring
This is Ilene. She is the Grandmother of the groom Daniel. She wanted to see the wedding ceremony outside, but it was a little too windy and chilly. She was about 90 and in a wheel chair.
Ilene was resigned to watching the ceremony through a little window in the door. That didn't seem right. I had a big blanket in my car and ran out and got it and wrapped the blanket around around her. She was able to watch the ceremony outside with everybody else. She was truly happy. It was a quick moment, but meant a lot to her and Dan.
Created Just for YOU!
Jenna and Peter LOVE the Cubs! I wanted to create something one of a kind for their wedding about the Cubs. This is a canvas photo of the sign outside Wrigly Field. All their guests signed it. We invited the bride and groom up to the bandstand to sing, "Go Cubs Go" with the band. Since they were also huge Bears fans they sang " Bear Down Chicago Bears" with the band. We also gave them an official jersey of Bears player Matt Forte which all their guests signed. Go Bears, Go Cubs, Go Jenna and Peter!!
