Wedding DJs Are Expensive
As a wedding DJ, some people think I don't charge enough and some think I charge too much. Wedding DJ costs can vary widely, but across the board, DJ's are far cheaper than bands. So there is another side to the story... but I'll stay away from that here. Fun fact: Bands typically hate DJs.

10 Trendy Wedding Ideas
1. While weddings are meant to be the happiest of days, too many weddings have shadows cast by parents, friends, and relatives who do not show up because they don’t support the marriage. To this, I have just one bit of preaching to do: please rethink your absence. Whether it is an LGBT ceremony, a mixed-race wedding, or just someone who hasn’t won all the right approvals, the show will still go on. But your absence will tear at heartstrings and be the cause of much distraction and angst on an otherwise happy day.

How to Plan a Jewish Wedding
You’ll need at least a year to plan your perfect Jewish wedding.

Wedding Planner vs. Day-Of Coordinator
As a professional in the wedding industry, I sometimes forget that engaged couples, and basically everyone that does not work in this industry, is not super familiar with all of the wedding vocabulary. One of two terms that fall into the most confused category just so happen to be my specialty. Clients and other vendors mix up Wedding Planner and Day-of Coordinator. So, if you’re raising your hand as a member of the “I’m confused” category, don’t fret! Allow me to clear some things up.

What to Do With Purchased Items Post-Wedding
Chargers, candles, napkins, dinnerware, glasses, and more. If you wanted to knock the socks off of your wedding guests, you probably acquired all, or most, of these items to bring that stellar vision of yours to life. You could have rented many of these items, or borrowed from your newlywed mates. But if you’re a DIY bride, like so many are, you thought, “hey, I can buy those same glasses for $1 at Dollar Tree instead of renting for about the same price.” Well, you weren’t wrong, my dear… but I’m pretty sure once you woke up from your freshly-married, blissful daze, only one thing came to your mind (and probably your mother’s):

You're Engaged—Now What?
A new engagement is a joyous occasion filled with excitement — excitement that can quickly devolve into chaos when the realization of event planning sets in. Without some guidance, wedding planning can be like sitting on an isolated raft in the middle of the ocean, and with too much guidance it’s like making your way through an erratic swarm of bees. Couples tend to feel either lost or overwhelmed.

An Italian Wedding
I was never one who believed in fairytales. In the deepest and most private parts of my heart, I sometimes prayed and hoped that they existed. But, I genuinely did not think they happened on Earth. So, this spring, when I finally experienced my own fairytale wedding, it almost seemed too good to be true. It is only now (after allowing some time to pass) that I actually understand how beautiful and special my Italian wedding was.
