There has been a lot of talk about wedding insurance lately, especially with the presence of COVID as many 2020 couples have had to make the hard decision to cancel or postpone their event(s). MLE encourages all of our couples to consider obtaining wedding insurance (some event venues even require it). Here are some things you need to know regarding what wedding insurance does and doesn’t cover, and what policies are worth looking into before you make any decisions. MLE strongly encourages couples to educate themselves on their options and obtain a coverage policy to protect themselves from a potentially devastating situation. The best day of your life shouldn’t turn into a large financial loss if the unforeseen happens! The right coverage will offer you peace of mind as you plan and help you to avoid financial regret. We hope all couples will be smart about planning their big day and choose to protect their financial investments while doing so.

Engagement season is right around the corner, literally. Fun fact, 90% of engagements happen between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day! So if next week you’re one of those newly engaged couples trying to decide WHAT a wedding planner does and IF you need one, MLE’s FAQ section can help address that. At very minimum, MLE (and most wedding venues) highly encourage couples to invest in a month-of coordination package.

Being prepared for unforeseen weather is often forgotten about during the excitement of wedding planning.

As wedding season fast approaches and those pretty little invitations find their way into mailboxes, the biggest question on everyone’s mind once they’ve opened that beautiful hand-calligraphied envelope is usually: what do I wear? Now that you’ve done your detective work and know if the dress code is black tie, semi-formal, casual, etc. … what do these terms even mean? Don’t worry! MLE can explain what all those fancy dress code terms mean.

Wedding season is here and, as we’ve mentioned before, the key to a successful wedding is hiring the right team of vendors, including a wedding planner!

Having both a venue coordinator and event planner will make your entire planning process much smoother from beginning to end. We truly work together in order to provide you with the best experience possible.
