Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, so when friends and family offer to help, take them up on it! Just ask Corinne and Alex, who had some amazing (and unexpected) things happen because they let others in on the fun.

For their wedding at the historic Pfister Hotel, Corinne gave Alex the job of stocking the trolley with drinks. He came through with a surprise that was a huge hit: a massive six-liter “methuselah” bottle of champagne that he “secretly bought” for the bridal party.

They also learned the importance of having great vendors in your corner. When their original wedding favor supplier dropped the ball just two days before the wedding, Ultimate Confections Chocolates swooped in to save the day. The company “designed beautiful little chocolates bearing our initials and wedding date” and had them ready just in time for the reception. Talk about a lifesaver!

With all the memorable moments, their favorite part of the day was a personal one: the “Juliet balcony surprise entrance” at the start of the reception. So, as you plan your big day, remember that a little help goes a long way.

Congratulations Corinne & Alex!
