There is no shortage of awkward topics when it comes to wedding planning! Here are three of the most common:
✨ how do we tell our guests that kids aren’t invited?
✨ we already have a toaster, glassware and dishes, what do we do if we don’t register?
✨ we want our wedding to have a dress code, how do we share this?

This vibe is all of us today—SMITTEN IS OOO!

After a very good, very exciting and very long year, our team is officially out of office for some r+r and Christmas cheer. You can still find us here, of course, but we’re going to give our laptops a break until the new year.

Happy merry everything!

There is bound to be a little love/hate when you’ve been planning weddings + events for as long as we have. And so, we present to you: 10 Things We Hate About Weddings—
1️⃣ Long speeches
2️⃣ Rude guests
3️⃣ Late vendors
4️⃣ 2am event strikes
5️⃣ Mediocre vendor meals
6️⃣ Too much DIY
7️⃣ Covid (such a buzz kill 🙄)
8️⃣ The song “Don’t Stop Believing”
9️⃣ When guests sneak a peek at your timeline and say, “so things are running late, huh?”
🔟 Wangovers (aka the wedding hangover)

DISCLAIMER: we really do love weddings, these are just a few things we’ve grown to dislike after experiencing them 100s of times over the years 😉

Two truths and a lie about Smitten—
1. Devon and Jordan have been best friends since they were kids.
2. Since launching in 2013, Smitten has produced 415 weddings + events
3. We are spreadsheet obsessed and love to geek out by organizing our google drive.

Can you guess the lie?

Ever wonder how we got our name?

Devon and I worked on developing our partnership, services and rebranding for more than a year before launching Smitten in 2013. We tested out dozens of names but the one that stuck—and represented what we wanted for our company—was Smitten Events. We love that you can be smitten with your partner, your friends + family, your clients or a cause, and it’s our job to help you celebrate with one-of-a-kind event experiences to revel in for years to come.

PS. It’s our 10th anniversary, so stay tuned for lots of memories and top 10 moments we’ll be sharing this coming month!
