Where Should We Seat the Suppliers at the Reception?
Should we seat suppliers such as the photographers and musicians in the same room with guests? We have to provide meals for them, but the problem is our venue is not big enough to have an extra table for eight suppliers.

Tipping The Wedding Planner?
Though there is not a general rule for tipping wedding planners, if you feel yours has gone the extra mile there’s no reason why you can’t do something to recognise that. After all, that’s what a tip is — a way of acknowledging excellent service. Extra cash is always appreciated, but if you hired your…

Above all, try not to freak out. There’s not a lot you can do once the day is underway, so, in the short run, let the right person know if the order is wrong or do your best to track down a missing supplier. If the professional can provide a quick fix — for instance,…

Can I Have Two Florists?

Is Tipping Mandatory?
Tipping isn’t mandatory — a tip is an added reward for service well done. That said, unless one of your suppliers really botches something, they’ll probably expect at least a small amount of gratuity. Before you start forking over the dough, be sure you check with your reception site to see whether they have any…

Paying Ones Who Aren’t Pros?
Your solution sounds like a great idea, and it’ll help to avoid an awkward “payment” conversation! This man is probably not expecting anything of you — he’ll be pleasantly surprised with your gift, which is a gracious and thoughtful gesture.

Career as a Wedding Coordinator?
First, you should take it seriously! Planning your own wedding and loving it is a completely different experience from planning other people’s weddings for a living.
