Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Book Your Wedding — 6 Honest (and Funny) Reasons
Sometimes, the best wedding advice doesn’t come from a planner’s formal checklist — it comes from a candid conversation. Recently, I asked my banquet Coordinator Alisha for “5–6 bullet points” on why it’s a good idea to book your wedding for 2025 instead of waiting a traditionally long time to get married.
Challenge accepted.
