Selina and Nick paid $50k to host 200 guests in Long Beach for an absolute blowout wedding experience with multiple performers (yes, performers!). Selina gives great, actionable advice for combining cultures and how to make your wedding your very own. 

They had a clear goal to give their guests a memorable experience and that was centered around 3 zones -- eating, drinking, and dancing. Outside of those zones, sacrifices have to be made but it’s so worth it in the end. 

Highlights:
13:20 The rule of 3 - the #1 thing to keep in mind for wedding planning.
