I love working with couples when the walk down the aisle is not their first. They tend to want a more untraditional wedding. So of course, I dive into all the details with a much more out of a box and unexpected flare. Not only the decor and the food, but also the music. For one wedding, I started out with an acapella choir for ceremony, , rock violin show for cocktails, an incredible jazz singer for dinner, and instead of dancing I created a dueling piano lounge. I love making these client’s wedding experiences even more unique. So when I come up with these entertainment concepts, one resource is I turn to is Mary Rothe of Mary Rothe and she will find a great match for my idea. Her musical (and non musical) entertainment have graced my events since right after I started planning events, a “ few” years back.

Service a la Russe, or commonly called “ Russian service” is still used at some high end hotels. This differs from French service as seen in Downton Abbey. I cover these in my Frankly Speaking Etiquette training. ( which covers much, much more than just dining etiquette)
