Wedding Must Haves

For me looking back I'd say for us our first look was a must have! I had a feeling it would be my favorite part of the day and it was!! It also was a huge help in making our day flow very nicely! So many guests commented on how nicely our day flowed (they went from the ceremony right to the reception and we showed up shortly after because we did the majority of pictures before the ceremony)

Our coordinator was a life saver. Most people prioritize food, photography, their wedding outfits, and venue but a trained professional that can run your day makes a huge difference. I highly urge people not try to be a hero and run their own wedding day on the day of.

Not necessarily a must have but when I look back on the day, the catering staff, band, and magician totally all rocked it and the evening would not have been as good without their skill, organization, personality, etc. When we hired the catering company, we had no idea what staffing crew they would send so it was out of our control... but from the chef, to the head waiter, to the bartender - they all had so much personality and ENJOYED our evening WITH us which made it all the better. Same with band and magician, we had an idea of the skill but you can't assume how personality will be with your guests/vibe of your evening and they were all so so wonderful and I could not recommend them all enough.
