After reading this blog post, I hope you understand why professional wedding planners are a *thing*. Paty Araujo Photography at Ember Ranch Emotions are at an all time high. Expectations are heavy. Personalities are strong. So many things happen during wedding planning and on wedding day. Here's just a few juicy stories and tidbits of actual weddings I have saved up just for this blog post.

Tamar + Sabina’s Gather Greene wedding is one that I will NEVER forget. From start to finish, every detail and moment was crafted with intention. From their warm and cozy portrait session to the jubilant ceremony, stations-style dinner and the roaring dance party, this wedding was one for the record books. Photos by the incredible Tracy Jade Photography.

Ahh the emergency kit- every wedding planner’s best friend, & every clients’ savior! You hope to never need it, but to go without would be risky. My personal emergency kit has evolved over the years and gotten more and more complex. What was once a small carry on roller is about to transform into a full-on suitcase. I’ve picked up several little tips & tricks over the years, and today I share them with you.

A virtual-physical event, also known as a hybrid event, offers event organizers the chance of getting the best of both worlds between virtual and physical (or in-person) events. This new style of event is becoming increasingly popular after the global COVID-19 pandemic forcing the cancellation of many large-scale physical events throughout 2020 and 2021 due to social distancing and quarantine policies.

What happens when a global pandemic makes it impossible to host a large wedding celebration for more than a year? A wedding boom! Thousands of couples have had to push their weddings from 2020 and 2021 into 2022, resulting in a wedding boom unlike anything the industry has ever seen. Weddings are now taking place one after another, leaving professionals with little time to breathe between events.
A Day to Cherish

I am finally getting the chance to sit down and write this blog about Emily & Justin’s wedding. They were one of our couples that unfortunately had to endure a Covid wedding. We begin working together in 2019 and they tried hard to have a 2020 wedding but unfortunately, that didn’t happen. SO, we rebooked and went for it in 2021! I must say they had so many obstacles in the planning process and they both just rolled with it.

As a Hudson Valley and Catskills wedding planner, my specialty is what I call the “mini destination” wedding. A lot of our couples (and their guests) come from New York City and the surrounding areas. So, while we’re not arranging destination weddings to the likes of Mexico, Italy or other international destinations, most of our couples are bringing their guests for a great wedding weekend experience upstate.

(for guests) The 6 years I have had in this industry have served up a cornucopia of…interesting stories when it comes to interactions with guests. As such, there are some points of etiquette that I would love to address. My hope is that these ‘Commandments’ spread far & wide to educate guests everywhere. Something happens in a person’s mind when they’re at a wedding; similar to how clients can get “Wedding Brain” or “Wedding Goggles” the closer they are to the wedding.

It’s no secret that event organizing is among the industries most heavily affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic, and is also one of the industries that have evolved dramatically due to the global pandemic. In early 2020, the early days of the pandemic, the majority of physical events have been canceled due to the social distancing and quarantine policies, many of them have been replaced by virtual events.

Meg and Alex were truly dream clients. I already knew Meg from the local boutique scene, she worked part-time at my friend’s shop The Counting House. I already knew she is not only a gem of a human, but also loads of style. Meg and Alex really wanted to bring their story to their wedding day, which is my absolute favorite. They held their ceremony for closest friends and family at their historic, home in the Heritage Hill District of Grand Rapids.

Last Summer saw many of our postponed weddings from 2020 finally take place post restrictions being lifted. Our gorgeous couple Amelia and Matt celebrated their wedding at the brides family home in Wiltshire, after moving their wedding three times due to Covid 19. When they were finally able to celebrate their wedding, over a year later than originally planned, it was certainly worth the wait!

Almost every one of our wedding couples asks, "Who should I tip and how much should I tip?" While it may be tough to find additional funds in the budget for gratuities, tipping is always appreciated for a job well done, as well as a thoughtful and caring gesture. If you intend to tip your vendors, make sure to budget for it early on to avoid going over budget.

WAIT, HOW MUCH ARE ROSES NOW? If you are planning a wedding or event, you may have noticed how expensive flowers are. Yes, there is currently a massive flower shortage and the wedding boom is real. We have been working around the clock for our client’s this year and next. The result of the pandemic has not only caused postponements of original dates but industries are feeling the long term effects of the sudden boom in events, especially the floral industry.

Brittany reached out in early 2021. She was pregnant with her first baby and trying to plan her dream Northern Michigan wedding, in a pandemic, of course. Looking for guidance to create an August, flower-filled, upscale tent wedding at the beautiful Deer Lake at Boyne Mountain.

Ashlen Sydney Photography Have you ever heard people say “make sure you remember to date your spouse long after you’re married”? Seems like solid advice, and so I am going to take it a step further. Make sure you’re staying connected to you love specifically during the engagement process. Planning a wedding is already an emotional & fairly challenging venture these days.
