One of the best reasons to have a guest book at your wedding is the sentimental value it provides. Being able, at any point in time, to look back on the messages left you by your family and friends can be a truly heartwarming experience.
Now imagine, instead of reading their messages, being able to hear the voices of those same family and friends sharing their wishes with you.
With an audio message you not only hear the message, but you feel the emotion and passion of the person delivering the message.
And how impactful would it be to listen to the message of a friend or family member who has passed away? Wouldn’t that be an amazing gift?

What’s a wedding reception without dessert?
Everyone loves to watch the couple cut the cake and feed it to one another at the beginning of the ceremony, but what everyone is really excited about is what type of dessert(s) are available for them to eat!
Whether you’re serving a sweet selection of candies, donuts, cupcakes, or savory popcorn choices, we have amazing displays to present your delicious desserts.
And if you need the equipment to pop the popcorn, make the cotton candy, or shave the ice for sno cone snacks for your steamy July wedding, we have that equipment available too.
Whether you’re looking for indoor games or outdoor games or games for children or adults we’ve got you covered.
Our collection of Party Games includes:
Flowers add a beautiful touch to any wedding whether used only for the bouquet for the bride, or in corsages and boutonnieres for the bridal party and decor for the wedding hall and reception.
Silk flowers offer a wide range of benefits that make them an attractive choice for many brides.
They’re cost-effective, durable, customizable, and convenient, allowing for a stress-free wedding planning experience.
While real flowers offer a natural fragrance and beauty, silk flowers provide lasting memories, flexibility, and a level of practicality that many brides find invaluable for their big day.
If longevity, budget, and convenience are top priorities, silk flowers are a smart, beautiful option and you don’t have to worry about your choice of flower is, “in season”.
The design team at our sister company, Occasions and Stems has designed, delivered, and installed some amazing silk floral designs for weddings including a floral chandelier, amazing backdrop floral accents, arch accents, and gazebo accents along with custom bridal bouquets.
They’d be happy to design something unique to match your wedding colors and theme too.
Wedding Planning
A wedding planner can help bring the bride’s vision to life, offering creative ideas and suggestions based on the couple’s preferences and theme. They have an eye for design, trends, and detail, helping to create a cohesive and visually stunning wedding that reflects the couple’s personality. Whether the bride needs help choosing colors, flowers, or décor, a planner can guide her through the creative process and ensure everything looks perfect.
Hiring a wedding planner provides peace of mind. The bride can rest easy knowing that a professional is handling all the details, solving problems, and ensuring the event runs according to plan. This allows the bride and her partner to focus on what truly matters: celebrating their love and starting their journey together.
Day-of-Coordination
Hiring a Day-of Coordinator for a wedding is an excellent way to ensure that everything runs smoothly on the big day without the bride having to worry about the details. Unlike a full-service wedding planner, a Day-of Coordinator typically steps in just before or on the wedding day to handle logistics, coordinate vendors, and ensure that the bride, groom, and their families can relax and enjoy the celebration.
A Day-of Coordinator provides peace of mind by managing the wedding day’s logistics, ensuring a smooth flow of events, and allowing the bride and groom to focus on enjoying their special day. They handle all the last-minute details, keep the timeline on track, and troubleshoot any issues that arise, ensuring that the bride and her family can relax and enjoy the celebration without the added stress of overseeing everything themselves. For couples who want to enjoy their wedding day without the logistical burden, hiring a Day-of Coordinator is a smart investment.
