Hi! Would you think having pre made cocktails from a water dispenser is tacky? Other option is having glasses pre poured with the cocktail.

Huge fan of readily accessible cocktails at weddings. Disclaimer: I may be tacky, but I’m just looking to party.

No need to consider the legal considerations — this is approved by our venue and it’s not actually hard alcohol (sake + another liquid cocktail)

Facebook groups, thumbtack, task rabbit might help if you haven’t already scoured vendors there.

Would a bartender be pouring from the dispenser, or would guests pour their own?
If the former, no issue!
If the latter, I don’t think it’s tacky, but pre poured might just be a little nicer - guests can just grab from a tray

Thanks! We could hire a bartender to pour from the dispenser. It’s just one signature cocktail

I don’t love a cocktail in a glass that you grab, could just be paranoia but I always prefer to pour a drink myself or see a bartender do it. I think the dispenser idea is fun! I’ve seen it at parties before

This is a really good point!

Hi everyone - We are thinking of changing our wedding photographer after unsatisfactory engagement photos and unsatisfactory communication (unresponsive after multiple attempts). We paid a $450 retainer which we know will be not refundable. However, we are not sure about other liability as we read our contract and found these 2 clauses (in comments). Please advise! Definitely not happy with her and would like to switch to another one but also want to make sure we make the right move. Thanks!

Comment where you are cutting back to save money. Here are ours:
- Not doing a presidential suite, instead we’re getting a normal suite and using a conference room for hair/makeup/meals
- Centerpieces. We are doing a few bigger centerpieces, then small bud vases at the rest of the tables.
- Transportation for guests. Our wedding is in a major city and ubers are easily accessible.
- Flowers. No flowers for men, only the groom is getting a boutonnière. No flowers for parents/grandparents.
