54 I Broken Promises, Drama, & Wedding Music

Text the Wedding Planning Hotline

When couples plan their weddings, many hope that their day is relaxed and stress-free. Many will say the last thing they want is "wedding drama." However, as a wedding planner, part of my job is to choreograph moments of drama or excitement for your guests on the wedding day. This can be done in many different ways, one of them is with wedding music.

In Episode 54, we continue our conversation with Eddie and Caleb, who experienced firsthand the turmoil and drama that comes with wedding planning. From wedding vendors breaking contracts and excluding their wedding planner, to planning a wedding during a pandemic, it seemed like wedding drama followed Eddie and Caleb could not catch a break. 

Today we hear about this drama and how Caleb and Eddie dealt with it. In addition, to talk about what went wrong, we talk about what went really well, including their choice of wedding music and how it created excitement and the "right" drama on their wedding day.
