So, in this episode, wedding pricing is the target of our discussion. Therefore, we must state that every wedding is unique and no standard or average can accurately describe YOUR wedding and what it should or could cost. However, the Wedding Wire's 2020 Newlywed Report average cost of a wedding in 2019 was $33,900. Furthermore, just because, your friend or neighbor received a great price for their wedding venue or photographer, doesn't mean that you may get the same deal! As we've mentioned before, your wedding date, wedding location, and time span factor greatly into your unique pricing quote from any wedding vendor. Finally, when you decide to book a wedding vendor and what options you decide upon will also factor into the calculation of your price quote.

Thus, we must fully disclose that our guest is Kia's son, Kelker. On weekends he works with Engaged Connecticut as a wedding runner. Yes, he's the one, in the background, doing all the odd jobs that keep the wedding running smoothly. Consequently, a wedding runner helps to park cars, prompts the entertainment that the ceremony is ready to start, or moves the ceremony chairs to storage after the ceremony to stocking up the booze for the bartenders. Finally, Kelker explains why it's so important to have a wedding runner. In The Second Half, we answer the question of what is a sequel wedding. The sequel wedding simply refers to a couple hosting several sequential ceremonies/celebrations. However, this is not a new concept. Therefore, due to Covid restrictions, the marriage ceremony may only have close family and friends, with a larger guest list invited to a second ceremony, followed by a still larger reception.

Actually, we mention the tradition of throwing rice, but we do NOT recommend this idea. Furthermore, the idea of "Send-off Wish Lanterns" (small hot air balloons made of paper, with an opening at the bottom, where a small fire burns) is strictly forbidden in CT. Alternatively, ideas for your exit could include "Spreading The Hearts", simply get some beautiful and colorful heart-shaped paper cut-outs along with colorful confetti. Mix both of them and let your wedding guests spread the hearts everywhere when you make the grand exit. Also, glow necklaces handed out to your guests, who then form a colorful arch for you to walk through, make an amazing exit photo. As a matter of fact, you can do the same thing using sparklers.

So, in this episode, should you have both, an on-site wedding planner and a day-of coordinator? In fact, Kia explains and breaks down the differences between the two.In short, a day of coordinator starts working with you about four to eight weeks before your wedding day. What is more, their role is to touch base with vendors, review signed contracts, confirm details, create detailed timelines and floor plans. Also, to do a final walkthrough of both the ceremony and reception venues, manages the rehearsal, and oversees everything on the wedding day. On the other hand, an on-site coordinator works for the venue or facility. Therefore, they can help a couple with the decisions being made concerning the venue itself like menu selection, floor plans, venue timelines, and payments. Finally, join us for another installment of wedding professional, Keith Alan's, insightful "The Keith Alan Minute".

More specifically, when clients tell their vendors they are having a "small" party when in reality, it's a wedding reception.Unfortunmately, this happens more often than you might think. Most people don't think of the invisible labor costs that go into producing a wedding. There may be multiple phone calls, complex setup and tear-down instructions and extra staff on hand to serve guests and deal with meltdowns. Also, you might not get the same level of service you might have had if you'd told the truth, in the first place. A wedding professional will tailor their service toward the wedding and provide insightful knowledge that you would not get otherwise.
