In this episode we talk about the all intrusive subject of Covid.   Invitations - what is appropriate to ask your guests and how do you get across a message of safety without overwhelming the romantic vibe.  Is it appropriate to tell your guests that they must get vaccinated before the wedding?  What obligations do you have before and after the wedding when it comes to finding out someone has tested positive?

We are all going through Covid burnout which is made worse by the ever-changing protocols that seemed to be based not only on your state and city, but what a particular venue will allow.

The host, Keith Willard, gives his very straightforward feelings regarding a couple of local venues - which remain nameless but should absolutely be called out for their inhuman request of their staff.

 A bad DJ or Band can destroy a wedding that took months, or even years, of planning. There is literally no way to recover from having a sub par performance from your entertainment choice. This means you better be damn sure that you have chosen correctly. But where to start? How do you figure out what you need? Does it fit your budget? Who should you trust? Tune in for a straightforward and honest conversation about what you should know before you go!
