We got engaged recently and are planning an engagement party in the new year... wondering if there are specific traditions that people usually have at their engagement party? We obvs don't want it to be the same as the wedding. Is there anything special/different that happens at an engagement party?

We're hosting our ceremony and reception at one venue and would love some ideas to make our cocktail hour fun and unique. We're planning to head off for photos after the ceremony and would like guests to be entertained during that time!

I recently got engaged and am looking and a bunch of different options for venues at the moment. I've come across a few "all-in-one" wedding venues, which sounds really appealing in one sense because this would mean I don't have to worry about sourcing catering, decor, venue hire etc., which means I'd have more time to enjoy being engaged and not stress about all the suppliers I'd need to find - but how does this actually work? Are venues flexible with style and what we want or is it mostly like "this is what we have, take it or leave it"? I'm also wondering how we make our wedding unique if we're just going with one of these venues that a bunch of other couples have used - I know it's silly but I would kinda be crushed if someone had the exact same wedding day (as in like copy/pasted event) as me. How do venues mix thing up to make your day unique to you? Sorry... lots of questions in one go... PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND!!! - An already stressed out bride-to-be xx

Hello. I'm wondering, what's the difference between what a wedding venue coordinator does and a wedding planner? And does the venue coordinator do styling or is that separate?
