Can I tell you guys a secret? 🤐
I. Did. Not. Plan. My. Wedding. Day! When Roberto and I got engaged, it took me FOREVER to set a date!
Why? Because everything wedding-related stressed me out! I put off wedding planning as long as possible (1.5 years to be exact).
As soon as my mom mentioned hiring a , my head perked up, my eyes widen, and I said, "YES, please!"
Our Wedding Planner, and her company was the best investment we could have ever made to making our wedding dreams a reality!

Decorating the bar is always a nice touch, however making the bar functional is a priority! 🍾✨

Bar Set Up Tip💡👀: If you are a DIY bride consider setting up a second table behind the bartenders. You can keep the bar area clutter free by storing coolers, boxes, and cleaning supplies under the extra space!
