WEDDING INSURANCE FOR COUPLES AND WEDDING PROFESSIONALS

What is Wedding Insurance and do you need it? If history has taught us anything, it is the value and importance of being prepared.

SHOULD I TIP MY WEDDING VENDORS?

“Should I tip my wedding vendors? How much is appropriate?”

One of the most sensative questions that couples ask is with regards to tipping, gifting, and gratuity. My standard answer for over 20 years has been, “Gratuity and gifting is never expected, but always appreciated.” I mean that with all my heart, but I know that the statement does not answer the question. The fact is that my clients are incredibly generous, and they want to show the team just how much they truly appreciate their efforts and work. As a client, you want to say thank you and show your a gratitude to the dedicated and imaginative professionals who invest their time, passion, and effort into bringing your dream wedding day to fruition.
