[@SloantheBeast]

I LOVE Your energy! You are gorgeous. When we finally decided to have a wedding (we've been married for 10 years) we actually started at Step 1: SET A BUDGET ... This has saved us so much heartache when beginning our venue and vendors search.

[@WuraManola]

You’re so welcome! And 10yrs! Wow, congrats! Your wedding will be amazing! ❤️

Hi

[@miguelivanmartinez3418]

Before COVID my partner and I were looking for wedding venues and we had so many beautiful options in Chicago for $95,000 for 150 guest, at some point the hotel person in charge of my wedding had so many terrible expensive ideas, a $13,000 wedding cake that was not just ugly but they would offer a cake testing.

[@estherasim]

How do I choose colors I’m getting confused

[@johnrainsman6650]

What's the difference between the tasks/duties of a wedding planner and a wedding reception manager? As a matter of fact, _do_ wedding receptions have a professional manager?

hi good day were are you uk or usa

[@LJ-ql7xe]

I got engaged last month but we are having a long engagement so we can afford more of a wedding. We’re going to get married at a Registry office with the family ( siblings parents, nieces and nephew ) then have a big outside reception. As his mom owns a lot of land in the countryside. I have 4 parents and im from a big family with siblings& my fiancé has 3 older sisters.... HELP 😂😂

[@tommyalvarado545]

Me and the love of my life just got engaged .. we want to get married in about 5 months.. we have no clue where to start

[@mommatee41]

Good video…slow down a bit so we can follow 🥰

[@WuraManola]

Thanks, will do! Tip: you can always slow down the speed of the video 😊

[@tdunkley77]

I just got engaged I'm pretty much on track. My date is 10/22/2022. I am having trouble creating a wedding website, could you please do a video on creating one. I've downloaded write and the knot and I'm clueless. I've created my own invitations and want my guest to be able to rsvp online once they receive the invite, is this possible? Last when is the best time to send save the dates out.

[@MaiMai-ys4yg]

Yes that’s the part of nervous about. Venue and date is secured, wedding party is small and secured, I have an idea of dresses, wedding bands purchased. I just need to get officiate and of course the whole rsvp/invite/ wedding website thing. Ughhhhh it’s so much!!!!!!!!!!! Date 11/4/22!

[@WuraManola]

Hi there are a number of great planners in Nigeria. I’m based in the UK

[@Withmanju]

Covid spoil my wedding plan😢

[@aprilsnow2296]

About how much does a wedding planner and wedding coordinator cost?

[@WuraManola]

Doubt you’ll still need this answer but it varies depending on the level & expertise of the planner amongst other things. It’s a very difficult question to answer as people charge differently. For us in the UK & US a common pricing style is to charge a percentage of the wedding budget and would have a minimum spend
