There are literally hundreds and hundreds of reasons why we love weddings. In this episode, we’re unpacking WHY we love weddings - destination weddings, surprise weddings, elopements, all of it! Is it for the cake? The dancing? The unfiltered post-wedding stories? Listen in to find out. As professionals, we see everything, hear everything and we are HERE. FOR. IT. 

Episode Notes
In this episode, I test Joe’s patience by holding out on my favorite part of a wedding. There are so many things to love, and it’s so hard to pick just one! We learn how serious I am about cake (VERY SERIOUS), and how serious Joe is about old fashioneds. Don’t worry - we also share advice and tips on how to incorporate things that you love into your wedding, while still staying true to you and your wedding. Brides, grooms, family and friends - listen in to get the inside scoops.

Things We Love About Weddings

• The Overall Guest Experience: Have you seen a surprise wedding or enjoyed an over-the-top dessert bar? How about a whiskey bar, late night baby donuts, or a dance floor under the stars? These are just a few examples of how to create a memorable guest experience.
• A Good Toast/Speech: We’re not talking about a “speaking from your heart” speech - we’re talking about a pre-planned speech with intention, humor and a toast at the end. 
• The Couple, Taking it All In: We’re obsessed with that moment before the couple walks into their reception for the grand entrance. Does it get any better than this? 
• Post-COVID Celebration: We love when a party comes to life. Does it feel like things have gotten even better post-COVID? We think so.
• An Open Bar: Not gonna lie, I love when guests do shots. Listen in to find out my reasoning (I promise, it makes sense). 

Links and Miscellaneous Thoughts from this Episode:

• Intro: I rapid fire questions at Joe, and try to get him to answer them as quickly as possible. (SPOILER ALERT} Joe talks too much, doesn’t give quick yes/no answers, and he hates cake. Major eye roll.
• I talk about a surprise wedding… love this!
• Joe tells us about a story involving helicopters and surprises… listen in for the details.
• Having dessert bars on each guest table just makes sense.
• How to make an Old Fashioned
• Cocktail, the movie
• The secret to a good speech? Don’t Google it!
• Check out some speeches gone terribly wrong.
• Dad Jokes (When does a joke become a “dad joke?” When it becomes apparent.)
• Does anyone else love SHOTS as much as I do?
• Are these songs on your “must play” or “do not play” lists? Electric Slide and Macarena
