Machine Shop Where Hannah Weds Jason

Real Weddings

Feb 10

One of the best things about the Minnesota wedding industry, from the vendor side, is this big push for community over competition - collaboration over, well, over being big c words.

Hannah is the perfect example of that. Not just because she was SO excited, as a wedding planner, to work with her favorite vendors, but because she hesitated zero when asking me to be her day of coordinator. ME? You want me there ???

Dang. I was so glad to be there.

6 THINGS WE CAN LEARN

It's okay to be strict about start times.
If you're going to go with balloons for your decor, then put them EVERYWHERE.
If you don't allow kids at your wedding, you don't allow kids.
Sometimes what you plan (escort cards on the rim of champagne glasses) doesn't go as planned.
Deciding, 10 minutes before your first dace, to do a balloon drop towards the end of that first dance only works if you have a day of coordinator to rally table 8.
Last minute changes to room layouts make for momentarily cranky vendors.
