Who is Your Wedding Coordinator?
It’s interesting to see how fast people will waste their money on “$500 Day Of Coordinators” with no experience, but think that they are actually saving money by not going with a professional that has a higher rate. There is that old saying “you get what you pay for”, and we would like to speak …
Hurricane Sandy
It’s hard to believe that it has been two years since Hurricane Sandy came tearing through New Jersey. No one was prepared for it because it’s NJ, not Miami and we don’t get hurricanes here. At least, not hurricanes that can paralyze a state for weeks and months on end. Snow storms? No problem. Superstorm …
Venue Coordinator vs. Wedding Coordinator
“But our venue comes with a coordinator, so we don’t need a planner.” “Our venue told us that they have an on-site coordinator, so we don’t need to hire a planner for the day of.” “The venue said that they handle everything that a planner would.” I have heard all three and frankly, I have …
Oscar de la Renta

No keg stand at your wedding? Marriage of Doom!
First of all, I did not think finding a picture of a bride doing a keg stand at her wedding would be that easy to find. Google it. There are literally hundreds of images. If you think this is OK then stop reading. This week, CNN put out an article basically stating that an extravagant …
35 States. And Counting.
35 states this week. It should be 52, and it will be, but right now, same sex marriage is legal in 35 states. Ta-da! We are so happy to hear this news, especially since we’re currently hosting a contest where one lucky same sex couple will win an all inclusive wedding. New Jersey has been …
Let Them Eat Cake. Seriously. Allow This.
Know what my favorite thing about this cake is? It’s real. It’s made of flour, sugar, eggs and other stuff that bakers use (I am not a baker) and is presented for the entire duration of a wedding. Guests “ooh” and “ahh” over it all night and then the bride and groom cut into it …
