Staying with the B & W for a minute because it’s classic.

I had written a whole post on the sacredness of all the parts of your wedding because, well, all those details are special to you and your love.

It was really good, but then my app froze for a minute and it was all gone.

So I will sum it up by this. Details of your day are the expression of the love you have created together. They do matter. So what if the flowers die and the ink on the invites fade. The feeling of those fleeting moments when you’re surrounded by all your favorite flowers, hearing your favorite music, wearing your dream wedding attire with all your favorite people watching as you meet up with your beloved to say your vows…..that feeling remains. Love is everything. ♾️🩷💜💙

A small collection of excerpts from our latest reviews. As I continue to grow in this industry, I find myself connecting with like-minded couples and clients. These connections are what help me achieve the level of work that these incredibly individuals truly deserve. I am not for everyone, but for those I do find that connection with, I promise you, the sky is the limit. Let’s make the magic happen ✨

Hey you…

My name is Jeff. When I look back at the photos that took of me, this is one of my favorites. Why? Because it speaks a lot about who I am. Let me explain.

When I was younger, I found that I would slip into deep, long periods of joy and sorrow. Days, weeks sometimes (still do). It was always triggered by overly, emotion driven moments that would happen because or to people around me. I would often react oppositely. If someone seemed overtly joyful, I became deeply quiet. If others seemed down, I was coming hot with energy. It wasn’t intentional, just a strange part of me. Exhausting to be honest…pretty much a living example of yin-yang.

During the later part of our planning process with our couples, I ask when do you listen to music? Do you listen to it when you’re feeling joy, sorrow, anger, fear, or all the above? For me, it was all of the above. Music helped, and still helps, me get through all those various swings I find myself in. Some of my favorite songs aren’t ones that are lyrically the most appropriate for weddings. Ben Folds Five “Brick”, Goo Goo Doll’s “Name”, or Pearl Jam’s “Nothingman”. All incredible acoustic ballads. I’ll listen to these songs until my ears bleed and I feel every ounce of sadness leave my body.

One of the other questions I ask is what is your one ride or die song. Not the one you think would work at the wedding, but the song that would be buried with you. Knowing where clients started and where they are now, as well as what stuck with them really begins to define how we plan their wedding entertainment. These days, when given the direction to provide the musical background for formalities like ceremony or cocktail at weddings, I might sneak songs like those in there. They are often instrumentals or covers of. It is my way of acknowledging that my clients have deeper musical tastes than others. That they also experienced a music journey in their life that eventually brought them there.

(Continued in the comments…I know what a diatribe)

How do we look at weddings…

I think Maya Angelou said it best when she delivered her famous line that “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Attention to details are important. Focus on the areas that invoke feelings you want you and your guests to experience. They’ll never forget that.
