FEATURED REAL WEDDING // We love so many things about Emily + David’s wedding: her gown, her headpiece, his tux, the skulls, the table names, the guest advice coffin, the cake, the donuts, the names of their signature drinks, the spooky and gothic elements, and just how unique it was.
But most of all, we love this story from Emily: “We had people recommend songs in our invitations. My grandma wanted “Achy Breaky Heart” by Billy Ray Cyrus. Little did we know that she would teach everyone the Electric Slide—it was hilarious watching my 86-year-old grandmother teach everyone the dance!”

FEATURED REAL WEDDING // We love asking our couples what they think their guests will remember from their weddings, and Connie + Garrison’s family-friendly wedding had just that: something very family friendly and super fun (and we’re for the earworm you’ll have after reading this!). Connie says, “Baby Shark.” She explains, “After all the solo dances and toasts were over, it was time for everyone to join the dance floor. The first song to play was “Baby Shark.” That’s right, “Baby Shark do doo do do doo.” We had about 20 children under age five at our wedding, and them and their parents all rushed out to dance to a song they recognized and loved—it was our modern day version of “Macarena.” Seeing everyone laughing and being goofy was amazing.”

FEATURED REAL WEDDING // One of the things our couples tell us all the time is how fast their wedding days go, but for Kelsey + Michael, they snuck a little time before the day’s festivities for just the two of them (well, three of them if you count their adorable dog Butter, who played a significant role in their ceremony...but you’ll have to head on over to their featured real wedding to find out what!), and it turned out to be Kelsey’s best part of the day, “ Our first look and reading our vows to one another in private before we did it during the ceremony was the best part of the day for me. It was such an intimate moment and helped to get out any nerves. It was also such a nice moment of calm before the whirlwind of the day took place.”

FEATURED REAL WEDDING // Goose bump moment from Madison + Mark’s wedding, “One unexpected and very special moment involved a dragonfly. My grandmother was an artist and passed away in 2015; one of the last drawings she made was of a dragonfly. My aunt custom-made my veil with an embroidered dragonfly on the train. We also had a walkway with a bunch of pictures of Mark and me for our guests to walk through; above one of the pictures, a beautiful dragonfly had landed on a tree—it made me feel that my grandmother was there in spirit.” Goose bumps, right?!

FEATURED REAL WEDDING // We all know that there are going to be hiccups at weddings, but we had a little giggle at the hiccup at Sabrina + Nicholas’s wedding:

“One of Nick’s Grooms-mates had to go shoe-less for part of the day because Nick forgot his shoes. Luckily someone was able to bring them to Nick eventually.” Shoeless Joe Groomsmate?!

FEATURED REAL WEDDING // One of the questions we ask of all of our featured real weddings is what advice they’d give for couples who are planning their weddings right now, and Karissa + Michael’s advice rings true: “Planning a wedding is a lot of work but worth it in the end. Take mental screenshots of the day because it will go by fast; also, pick great vendors since the good ones do their best to take care of you.” We totally agree, especially on the picking great vendors!

💍 Wedding Coordinator FAQs 💍

Planning a wedding is a big deal, and I’m here to make it stress-free! Let’s answer some of the top questions couples ask:

1️⃣ Q: When should I hire a wedding coordinator?
A: Ideally, 6–8 months before your wedding, but we can jump in at any stage!
2️⃣ Q: What’s the difference between a planner and a coordinator?
A: A planner helps with the full process, while a coordinator focuses on the final details and day-of ex*****on.
3️⃣ Q: Do I need a coordinator if my venue has one?
A: Yes! Venue coordinators handle the venue, while I manage your overall vision and all vendors.
4️⃣ Q: Will you help with last-minute emergencies?
A: Absolutely! From fixing dresses to tracking down lost groomsmen, I’m your go-to problem solver.
5️⃣ Q: Do you work with our vendors?
A: 100%! I’ll confirm details, manage timelines, and ensure everyone is on the same page.

FEATURED REAL WEDDING // We love hearing from our featured real weddings special moments, funny moments, and the unexpected non-scripted moments that happen during their wedding; and when we heard the unexpected moment that Kaelan shared with us about her wedding to Mark, man, would we have liked to have been a fly on the wall of this epic dance party...So. Much. Fun...we think you’ll agree!
Kaelan says, “We’ll never forget when a few male friends took their shirts off for the photo booth, which then led to almost all of the male guests taking off their shirts—including my stepdad and Mark’s dad—for a huge shirtless photo.” Yep, we’ve got the photos to prove it! We’ll tease a few fun ones here, but then you’ll have to head to their wedding on our website to see more: realweddingsmag.com/epic-dance-party-family-style-wedding-valhalla-tahoe-kaelan-mark
Plus, their dog, Cali, was all over the wedding… and you know how we are about pups at weddings (LOVE IT!)!
