Tips for a (traditional) Jewish wedding- make sure you have at least two non-folding chairs to be lifted in (much safer) and plan for 99 percent of guests to all be on the dance floor for at least the first 15-20 minutes of the reception. Lol

[@cynithiav3254]

"Have you seen rental tables they nasty"😂😂😂😂😂

[@cassandrasiegel-chau6645]

When talking to my rental company about our 66" round tables at the venue they were like "Do not put more than 8 people per table" was so happy to hear this as I knew I had picked the right vendor.

[@montanalloyd7269]

Jamie: your guests will have 1 drink per hr Me: you clearly have not met my father in law🥴

[@ThePryncess9]

Not even getting married, just watch for you 😂😅 (also early prep and research 😉)

[@JD-im2kh]

Bethany Fairman that is the best thing you can do! I watched this channel all summer and I got engaged a month ago and I am so glad! Every vendor I have spoken with has said I was well prepared!

[@gymnast4life517]

SO glad I am not the only one! 😂

[@laurendaniels6817]

You know, just sitting here watching Jamie talk about rentals as she's wearing a shirt that says "panic" 😂

[@GlitteryCassie]

I just got an internship at a wedding planner, so I'm binge-watching all of your videos to prepare :)

[@PinaySuperMom]

Hi im also a wedding planner in Asia. Hope we can connect

[@mamaharryandmaisxo168]

I got married over a month ago but I can’t stop watching 😩😩😩

[@jillianchaloux6186]

We booked a venue that allows us to hold the ceremony, and reception. It includes a guest house for the entire weekend and a wedding planner for the week of the wedding. To me that killed 4 birds with one stone.

[@Helennnnnnn____]

I need you to post more Jamie!! I’ve already watched all of your videos twice. It’s not even about the wedding. Your personality is so addictive!! You’re my KZbin big sister 🥴

[@PinaySuperMom]

Hello sis im a wedding planner in Asia and would love to connect with you

[@jenelopebean]

How about some engagement videos? Engagement party DIYs, suggestions for your engagement, throwing a house party engagement or other venues etc! Thanks!!

[@RaeleyBarchers]

Was just looking at benches to rent for the ceremony! I saw the price and 😱😱. $400 to rent benches. Everyone can stand for the ceremony. 😅😂 The venue provides benches for around 40 people to sit on, so ederly or people thah can't stand can sit there.

[@alexapeters5914]

So thankful that my venue includes handmade wood tables, wooden chairs and white chairs for the ceremony in their rental package! Makes my job so much easier Haha

[@kelleym1735]

For tenting, Bright Event Rentals does allow clients to cancel their orders 10 business days before the delivery and they will refund the deposit. The weather forecast might not be perfect at that time but you can make your decision based on semi-accurate information rather than taking a chance months in advance of your wedding!

[@kitrinagruber3383]

So grateful for your videos! I am completely lost trying to plan my small wedding! A venue I am looking at provides nothing table/chair wise. Are there rental companies that decorate the venue as well? Thank you!

[@7BearSarah]

I originally wanted long farm tables (I've seen round tables at a million and a half weddings and I wanted to be unique) and when I talked to a few rental companies that our venue suggested, they were quoting up to $1200 FOR TABLES. I immediately scrapped that idea lmao

[@misslyntheena]

I’ve been binge watching all your videos the last couple days and immediately am greeted with yet another amazing upload ✨ I don’t even have a boyfriend/girlfriend but my wedding is planned to the smallest detail.😂

[@PinaySuperMom]

aww another lovely vlog! WEDDING BUSINESS is booming here in my country and its massive. Just so happy that we have already positioned our team before it explode into a huge business opportunity here!

[@LolaBolaa1012]

My fiance and I were LITERALLY talking about our rental options before you posted this! I feel like I'm your top student haha, I took notes the entire time :)

[@JD-im2kh]

Also catering companies can restrict you to only renting items sourced through their preferred companies. One caterer told me all of the rentals, even furniture had to be through them. Ask your catering company and check your contract before signing. I also wanted to use chevari chairs for ceremony and reception and they said I needed double my guest count because they would not move them. The ceremony is just outside of the reception building. It is always good to ask and not assume that you can use the rentals for both ceremony and reception. I do agree that getting everything from one place is nice so I think I’m going to let the catering company handle it all since I have enough on my plate!

[@cynithiav3254]

Getting married in october 2020! I wish i can buy a ticket, however i dont live in CA i live in nyc😭😭

[@citlali333]

Regarding adding items on later to a rental- i helped with a wedding where we decided to add more wine glasses after the cutoff date, and they said they did not have more of our style available, but they could offer the smaller size. Yes you should try to reserve your max amount, but if things change, it may not be a big deal if you can be flexible.

[@jenniferturriciano8535]

Jamie! Just had to give a quick thank you for all your videos, I have been watching your channel since your video on what your guests DGAFA 2 years ago when we got engaged. You have help me so much and I feel prepared to get married this Saturday!!! The day is finally here! I will still watch your videos to support you. Love you girl!

[@orionspero560]

You are talking much more like the rental places than like me about tables. I am much more comfortable with six than eight for an eight foot table. I would also say that seven is crowded for a seventy two inch round and five is crowded for a sixty inch round.

[@jessann5581]

We used napkins for our cake station, and fingers as it was cocktail sizes and also help yourself as many times as you want until it’s gone. It was a very laid back type wedding. Also we did have a TAB/Open Bar, glasses were on tables for water and wine glasses were used only at the bar for wines. Beer was can or bottle as it was and same with spirit drinks, cans and bottles. $2000 (Australian money) down on the TAB and by 11:30pm it was all spent and the wedding was coming to an end anyways. HD 5 hours of the TAB and an hour off cash bar were you pay for your own drinks until TAB starts.

[@paperologist]

OMG at overwhelm ... thanks for the info and professional advice

[@cassandrahunt6668]

Girl hook me up with veil diy PLEASE those things are way to dang spensive

[@26Bluegb]

Oof- they are ridiculously expensive! Have you thought about borrowing from a friend or family member and have it be your "something borrowed"?

[@Hayliehomemaker]

Cassandra Hunt have you looked on etsy?! I saw some the other day for like $25-40 that looked like pretty good quality!

[@elizabethpenton2306]

Amazon

[@daniellesprague5249]

Try resale sites like poshmark or mercari! I just got one for $15 on mercari

[@bayliesage]

What the heck! I think YT unsubscribed me. Glad I binge your videos often enough that it came up in my suggested anyway. Resubscribed!

[@PinaySuperMom]

Hello dear Im a wedding planner also and would love to meet new friends who are also interested with wedding stuff

[@bridgettdent4416]

YOU.ARE.SOOOOO.HELPFUL!

[@charityoverman]

Omg with the glasses. So glad I watched this!!!!

[@beautybysilk]

Loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee your channel! One of your subs that isnt even getting married but still loves watching wedding videos lmao. my bf and i always talked about not having an elaborate wedding but more so doing something smaller like getting eloped. Can you do some elopment planning videos??

[@diamend5]

Can you do a video on vendor contracts? Like basics, what are red flags to look out for, when do you sign, etc?

[@keeganryan3217]

Will you do a video on how to incorporate your kids into a wedding? We have a 4 year old together and we are finally tying the knot after 10 years!

[@amandalatouche3384]

Whooaaa I never even thought about glasses for the mixed drinks at the bar!! I had in mind wine glasses for the tables, and water glasses 😫 Is it tacky to do clear solo plastic cups for the drinks/dancing !?!

[@HaleySanchez22]

I don't know! I don't think so 😂 I'm doing cups from Dollar Tree because they had beautiful designs!🤷🏽‍♀️

[@fizzaith]

We're doing a buffet style dinner- how many extra plates should we account for? Should we assume 25% of guests will go back for a second plate?

[@lauren2521]

SAME. Please help @jamiewolfer

[@francisbarker1328]

Same

[@cindy846]

Oof, I'd assume way more than that! What did you end up doing?

[@doloresleyva8810]

Be a drill sargent when it comes to venders!! Double and triple check on them and do NOT allow anyone else handle the arrangements that you have already put in place. Be the only contact. Don't take chances with a mess up on your fine day!! Good luck 👍

[@amandabateman2920]

My wedding is on June 13th of this year and you have been SO MUCH help with these videos! I ❤️ your channel and really appreciate all of your advice! Love from Dallas 💞

[@HaleySanchez22]

Amanda Bateman How was your wedding!

[@Lionqt7]

Hey! I love your videos, you are so informative. This question isn't really related but I'm getting married this weekend. My venue is all inclusive, so I'm not sure how much each vendor costs individually. Do you have any idea on the best way to tip everyone?

[@aisforana]

I have an upper hand because I work in Event Operations at a conference hotel. I am VERY familiar with all of the equipment (tables, linen, chairs per table). And a 12top table is SO uncomfortable to serve. Can’t imagine having to eat at one 🤮

[@myrthe1203]

Very interesting - of all wedding subjects, renting glassware is one of those that doesn't really have an 'everyday life equivalent'. Thanks for creating. Have you ever considered doing a video on DJs? Hiring a DJ is something else that doesn't really come up in everyday life.. and how do you know a DJ is good? I know pants-all about DJing - but I gather it's something about crowd interaction, picking music the crowd likes, and mixing. You can ask for a demo in mixing.. but how do you judge if they do the 'crowd entertainment' aspect well? (Even if you're lucky enough to see them in action, I assume there's a difference to entertaining a crowd where the average age is 'college' and where the average age is 'has kids in college'.)

[@Peachlover345]

Can you do a video on BYOB? My venue is BYOB. Thinking about going to Costco :D

[@Hayliehomemaker]

shoppinggirl125 if you like beer/your guests like beer you can order 1/2 kegs for pretty cheap online. It’s cheaper per drink to do it that way instead of bottles. I plan on doing two half kegs (one with bud light and one with corona) and a few handles of Jack Daniels (my fiancé loves jack and coke so it’s a must). Also, the Costco brand alcohol is actually really good! Especially their vodka and whisky haha.

[@loreenabradley]

I'd love a video on this as well! My boyfriend and I wanna do a BYOB and potluck reception to save a lot of money and waste

[@faeentity]

I wish i could get everything from one company but $4 chairs at one venue versus $12 at all the others i looked at is well worth the price difference. We cant afford 1,600 on just chairs! Unfortunately the place with the cheap chairs doesn't offer tents or tables.

[@xoxodes13]

For my reception we are having 72” round tables. I know in the video you mentioned that size table could fit 10 people. We were considering only doing 8 people per table. Would that be too little of people seated at that size table?

[@sum12sumwhere]

Workout done! Now wedding planning videos!! I am looking to rent inflatables and some games for our wedding...I am not a dancer so I just wanna be a big kid and play

[@ericavanpoppelen5802]

Hi Jamie! Great video, super helpful! I have a question regarding renting lounge furniture or providing accessible spaces at your wedding venue. Anybody else feel free to chime in if you can help, too! My father and grandfather both have really bad backs and the normal chairs provided by most venues/rental companies are very uncomfortable for them, so I'm looking to rent some large lounge furniture that they can be more comfortable in for the rest of the evening after and before dinner. I haven't done much research, but any help would be great! Also any tips on making the wedding as accessible as possible are appreciated. My dad is set on walking me down the aisle (I'm praying for a good back pain day!) but it will be difficult and will most likely impact his movement for the rest of the day. I want it to be as comfortable for him as possible without creating a 'scene' or drawing attention to his situation. I'm sure there could be a whole video about accessible weddings, but I'll take any advice you can offer! Thank you!

[@kelleym1735]

There a lot of companies with really great furniture selections. If you are getting married in California or Arizona, I recommend checking out Bright Event Rentals. But if you really want to invest in comfortable chairs, I would highly recommend Chameleon Chairs as they are the most comfortable and versatile; just be prepared to set aside a significant portion of your budget if you are getting these chairs for everyone. 😉

[@ruthvansandt9713]

My tip… forget rentals, go disposable 😂

[@sarahmichelle4421]

Ive just been looking at rentals so perfect timing!

[@haileecrawford9656]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the little vase on your bedside table and the flowers! Where did you get them?? Love your videos!

[@neenanguyen6304]

We sat on the cafeteria floor cross cross applesauce in elementary LOL

[@kaelynschannal613]

This comment/ question is highly off topic. And I still need to ask- the lamps in your night stands are outstanding.💜💙 Where did you get these, how did you make them?

[@amandalatouche3384]

This is all I needed to know!!! Thank you 🙏 I am having such a hard time finding Mulberry napkins 😫😫

[@mharloveandre8827]

How many centerpieces would be needed for an 8 foot rectangular table?

[@lizmoraes1249]

Amazing advice thank you!

[@trenelfrancis6679]

Do you think it’s cheaper to rent everything with an open venue or a catering hall where everything is included in the price per person?

[@caitlinfoster9508]

Hi Jamie! Great video, but do you have any tips about renting backdrops? That is my current issue

[@Zoffi95]

Definitely taking notes here! And nope, not getting married hahahaha

[@lexythompson9131]

Why would they have a service fee? Wouldn’t the price for running the business just be included in the price of the product?

[@Hayliehomemaker]

Lexy Thompson I think it’s so that they can have a competitive price. So instead of marketing that they have $2.00 each glassware and no service fee, they say $.50 each glassware with an x amount service fee because in the eye of the client, fifty cents is less per unit and therefore a better buy (even if the end cost is exactly the same). Most people are used to having taxes and other fees added at the end of purchases so they might not even flinch at a $50 service fee but they’re more inclined to walk away from the sale if their perception is that they can get a better “deal” down the street at the competition’s company.

[@lucyrosereeder15]

What do you think about disposable plates, cutlery and cups/glasses? Would that be cheaper?

[@cxh5481]

How many plates do you need if your having a buffet style dinner🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️

[@Qerialife]

How much time is needed to spare for set up and break down time for a reception because the venue we are looking into only allows 8 hours and that have to include set up and break down time as well???

[@nataliemarie4640]

Is using plastic wear the resembles silver or gold wear inappropriate?

[@lisak1185]

Hmm so I talked to my caterer and we’re just assuming that people will reuse their glasses so I only ordered guest count + 10 extra of each kind (wine, water, cocktail). Also, my caterer is handling all the rentals (ordering and picking them up etc) do I still tip the rental company?

[@kelleym1735]

Lisa Experimentalveggie I think it depends on the format of how you are serving drinks. Will there be a self service station? Will there be wine and water at the table? If so, you probably just want to order your guest count and 20 extra of each screw in case of breakage. If you have a bartender serving drinks, some people may assume they have extra glasses behind the bar. In that case you can make a sign or announcement for people to bring their glasses to the bar. For the tip, if the rentals are being delivered by the rental company, it would be a nice gesture to allocate a tip for the driver and helpers! But that is just my advice based on my experience in the rental industry 😊

[@lisak1185]

Kelley Marston thanks so much!

[@tilarfifield2407]

I had a NIGHTMARE experience with the chair cover rental company we almost went with. The guy was extremely rude when we decided to cancel because of budget cuts. He never made us sign any agreements or pay a deposit, this was all verbal agreement over the phone and some email. But the guy basically yelled at me and told me I screwed his business for that day. I felt really bad but we literally had NO extra money, and we canceled a month and a half before our wedding. So I thought that was plenty of time in advance, I guess it wasn’t? Sorry dude, maybe make your customers sign agreements so this doesn’t happen? 😬🤷🏼‍♀️
