Create Breathing Room


I can’t count how many couples tell me, “The day flew by!” Your wedding will go fast, so plan quiet pockets of time. A short pause after the ceremony to be alone together can be invaluable. An extra 15 minutes for guests to settle before dinner is also a great idea. Even a moment during your drinks reception to just watch everything happening around you can be refreshing. You won’t regret these small breaks.


Sound Matters More Than You Think


As a live performer, I know how overlooked this is! Whether it’s for your vows, your aisle walk, or your speeches, sound quality plays a pivotal role. Make sure your venue has a good sound setup, or that your suppliers (like me!) bring their own equipment. You want your guests to feel every moment, and that starts with clear, beautiful sound.


Personal Touches Trump Perfection


I’ve seen weddings with designer details and flawless florals. However, guests often remember the personal moments the most. A bride who sang to her partner, a groom who cried during the first dance, or a sibling who read something funny and heartfelt—they create lasting memories. The imperfect, unfiltered, human parts of your day are what make it unforgettable.


Trust Your Suppliers—We’ve Got You!


One of the best things you can do is choose suppliers you trust. Once you have them, let them do what they do best. I always arrive early, adjust to the vibe of the room, and remain flexible if the timeline shifts (because it always does). Good suppliers will bring calm, creativity, and backup plans you didn’t even know you needed.


Choose Music That Feels Like You


Your wedding music should reflect your relationship. It’s not just about what’s trending; it’s about what means something to you. I’ve sung everything from Beyoncé to Ben E. King. The most magical performances are always the ones that resonate with your love story. Not sure where to start? I’m always happy to help you build your dream soundtrack.


Bonus Tip: Embrace the Unexpected


Some of the most special moments I’ve witnessed weren’t planned—rain turning into a beautiful indoor ceremony, a surprise performance from a family member, or spontaneous dancing during the drinks reception. Don’t be afraid to let go a little. Remember, the beauty is in the realness.
