Let’s be real: planning a wedding can feel like a full-time job. Between the spreadsheets, the family group texts, and the never-ending decisions, it’s easy to lose sight of the actual point — celebrating your love.After working with tons of couples, here are a few quick tips I always share that actually make a difference:&nbsp; 📧 Create a Wedding Email Trust me — this one’s simple but a game changer. Set up a separate email just for wedding planning. Having all your contracts, vendor convos, and spreadsheets in one place saves time and stress. No more scrolling through your main inbox trying to find that one message from your caterer.&nbsp; 🤝 Hire a Solid Team Your vendors matter more than you think. They’re not just checking boxes — they’re shaping the energy of your day. Go with people you trust, connect with, and feel good around. If your gut says no, listen to it.&nbsp; 🎉 Enjoy the Day Things will go off script. That’s just how it goes. What matters is how you react and how present you let yourself be. Stay in the moment. Laugh when it’s not perfect. Soak it all in — it flies by.&nbsp; If you’re looking for a DJ who brings good energy, communicates clearly, and helps keep your day flowing stress-free — I’m here for it.Let’s make this easy (and fun).

I’m thinking about how the night flows, how the vendors are syncing, and how we’re doing on time.
