"I'm not going to be at your holidays" with Kaitlin Carriger of It's KEE Events

This week we sat down with wedding planner Kaitlin Carriger, owner and lead planner at It's Kee Events.

Kaitlin is incredibly fun and brings a tremendous amount of wisdom and experience to the table. We are so grateful for the time, laughs and advice she shared with us!

Here is the advice she would give to any couple planning a wedding and preparing for marriage:

1. Set your budget! Know your budget and decide what aspects of the wedding are most important to you. Make sure to add at least $1000 for miscellaneous expenses you didn't plan for (like stamps- this is a great tip!)

2. When you're touring venues, ask for layouts. Make sure the space fits your needs.

3.  Brides, it's ok if your dress gets dirty! It probably will. Don't let that get you down!

4.  Be picky your guest list and your wedding party list! This is your day!

5.  If you're getting married in a city, check the events happening in the area (i.e. marathons, sporting events, conferences, etc). It's going to impact travel in the area as well as hotel prices. 

Again, we are so grateful for Kaitlin hanging out with us! We hope our conversation with her made you laugh and gave you some advice you haven't heard before!
