5 Reasons Why You Need a Wedding Rehearsal

✨ Relieves Anxiety + Pre-Wedding Jitters
If you put so much effort into planning your entire wedding, why wing the ceremony? Having a wedding rehearsal will relieve your stress and any pre-wedding jitters before your wedding

✨ Don't assume everyone knows what they're doing
Not everyone has been part of a wedding party, and they might not know what to do or what expectations you have for your ceremony.

✨ It's quick + easy
It lasts 15-30mins, rehearse it at least 2x so that everyone knows exactly what to do. Everyone will feel much more confident and comfortable because they're informed.

✨ Less questions on the day of
No rehearsal will result in more questions from your wedding party and family members. You wouldn't want to have to answer people's questions right before you walk down the aisle.

✨ An opportunity for everyone to meet each other
Putting faces with names and your wedding party can help build a rapport with each other to make the day more fun. It's important that everyone meets as they will be your go-to people everyone will need to look for at your wedding.

Let me know in the comments below if you plan to have a rehearsal before your wedding!

Venue Coordinator VS Wedding Coordinator

Wondering what the difference is between a VENUE coordinator and a WEDDING coordinator?

SO MANY brides have this question and whether they need a WEDDING coordinator. I can’t stress enough that I absolutely HIGHLY recommend hiring a wedding coordinator for your wedding day.

We aren’t there to just make sure the day runs smoothly, we are there to:
👉🏼 To mitigate any issues
👉🏼 Communicate with all your vendors for every change
👉🏼 Tie all the details together
👉🏼 Set up and tear down of your personal items
👉🏼 To execute every detail of your day to be curated to your exact requirements
👉🏼 Create timelines and documents to ensure all vendors including the venue are on the same page
👉🏼 Responsible for all the logistical wedding day management leading up to your wedding

AND👏🏼SO👏🏼MUCH👏🏼MORE!!

Both a venue coordinator and a wedding coordinator are crucial elements of your celebration. We work together as part of the larger team to ensure you and your partner have a happy and stress-free wedding! Our jobs are not to compete with each other.

Venue coordinators don’t coordinate weddings and wedding coordinators don’t run venues!

INVEST IN YOURSELF ✨

One of the biggest obstacle I had to face is the entrepreneurship road. By learning everything there is on Google, Youtube, Instagram and other platforms, it took me a VERY long time to get my business to where it is today.

I decided to invest in coaching programs to learn from other experienced entrepreneurs on THEIR method and systems and how to do things the right way, WITHOUT spending hours and hours of researching and DIYing my business myself.

Looking back now, I saw the greatest improvements as I gained knowledge and skills that I never knew I had in me. It was hands down the best decision EVER to learn from the experts.

I was where you are when I had to plan my best friend's wedding before I came a wedding planner.

You DON'T need to do everything when it comes to planning your wedding - in fact, doing everything is probably what's going to make you burnt out and make you hate the wedding planning experience.

If wedding planning makes you feel stressed and overwhelmed just thinking about it, I'd love to show you my step-by step proprietary system for planning a fun and memorable wedding WITHOUT spinning your wheels and wasting hours trying to do it yourself.

Comment "S2W" below and I'll send you the deets!

First Family Photo Session 🎄🎁

For those that have been following my stories, we did our first family photo session ever and I'm so happy how these turned out!

Thank you so much ❤️

If you're looking for a photographer for your wedding, make sure to check out their work and do a trial run with them AKA engagement shoot or any mini sessions they're offering.

When checking out the photographer's work, keep these things in mind:
✨ Look at how the shot is composed and captured
✨ The photo editing style and the colours shown in the images
✨ Do you see yourselves in these type of shots and poses

My partner and I love the moody photo aesthetic, so we pulled the trigger when we found out was offering Xmas mini sessions.

What photo aesthetic do you lean more towards?

1️⃣ Moody
2️⃣ Light and Airy
