"Today's guest is Austin Paz from Cinema Roll (best name ever, right?). Austin captures weddings with style, humor, and so much heart. From the big cinematic moments to the tiny details you don't want to forget—he gets it all. Austin has this amazing ability to capture everything—the laughter, the tears, the big romantic moments, and all those little ones in between. His films are gorgeous, but they also just feel so real and personal. We're thrilled to have him on the show!"

“Quiet Life” Weddings. Yes, You Can Plan a Stress-Free Wedding!

Celia and Andrea talk about the New York Times article "Quiet Life Weddings". Just another name for "micro-weddings", really, but what a great way to get married without the craziness and huge budget!

You can make big memories with a small gathering, and this doesn’t mean cutting back on the things you want it’s about doing exactly what you want and letting go of the pressure put on them by social media to have the “perfect”Instagram wedding.

Find the NYT article here https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/24/fashion/weddings/stress-free-wedding.html?unlocked_article_code=1.SE4.sU5S.kS54f__xRESQ&smid=url-share

We're also dishing on Il Tulipano in Cedar Grove—a stunning hidden gem with gorgeous garden spaces, bright modern vibes, and (praise be!)

New episode alert! 🎙️ We're diving into 2025 wedding trends—what we HEARD vs. what we actually SAW this year, and honestly? Some surprises!

We start with ceremony must-haves (yes, you need mics! Fresh batteries are your friend 😅) and processional music tips (spoiler: one song per person = Endless processional). Then we get into trends that actually worked: intimate guest lists and wedding parties, wedding vow tips, unique wedding locations, and those gorgeous seasonal touches.

Plus we're talking private cake cuttings, signature drinks + hot cider bars, the canoli vs. wedding cake debate, and whether favors and garters are still a thing. The best part? Many of these choices aren't just stylish—they save you time, money, drama, and stress too!

Whether you're planning your 2026 wedding or just love all things weddings, this episode is packed with real talk and practical tips. Link in bio! 🎧✨
