Hashtags - Using hashtags for the wedding day has been a helpful tool for years now. In the show, we chat about the pros and cons and how often they are actually used. Key takeaway?
If you want to do hashtags, make sure your guests see the value - most people don't like to spam their own Instagram feeds with 50 photos a day so it makes it hard to get a good collection wihle using your hashtag. UNLESS - you do something really cool as Jenna talked about from her own wedding where guests could see their posts in live time during the event (so cool right?!).
Other great alternatives are out there to guarantee you have some beautiful photos from your guests like a shared drive, RFID buttons, live stream of people posting pictures.

Most often, couples become “Facebook official” with their venues first.
We have had countless tours with couples saying they are canceling their contract with another venue because of the additional fees, misunderstandings, and tricky wording. Listen in for tips to not get screwed over by wedding venues!

​When you are planning your wedding day, it is no surprise that the majority of MOST couples’ wedding budget goes toward a venue. It’s ALSO normally the first or second vendor that couples hire, so (most often) this is their first step into wedding planning.

Hello again!
​
Today we’re diving into the point of view of the venue and what we wish more people would ask during tours. 

We want everyone to feel comfortable and confident in their booking process and know what their getting into.

The venue guide is also going to help with process because we have included all the good questions to ask. SO go get that venue guide (BELOW).
Part 3 is what we’re going to cover here and it includes 17 questions we wished more people would ask us as a venue.

Haven’t listened in to the first part?
Maybe even start with episode / blog post #01 “Engaged, Now What?” To get the most of the guide.

We are so excited you are here and jumping into our first ever recorded podcast series with Behind the Party. Now this series goes hand in hand with our free venue guide that helps you skip the stress of not knowing what to ask, or why it’s even important. 
You can grab that free guide here, and in this blog we’ll dive into a little more behind the scenes and cover all the help. 

So you’ve changed that facebook status to engaged (cue the confetti) but - now what? 
Here’s what we noticed our friends and family saying to us… they felt overwhelmed, and stressed when they thought about planning. By the time they got home from work, fed the dogs/cats and made dinner they were ready to relax watching their favorite show and they would much rather save inspiration videos or photos on Pinterest, Instagram or TikTok than take the time to scroll through hundreds of venue and vendor options with no idea how to narrow it down. ​

The first thing you need to get set before planning is your budget.
Yes, we are prepping to plan guys! Trust us though, this will help give you an outline to work with and to narrow your search for those professionals to bring your vision to life.

Why do I need a budget?
