I’m a child of the internet age, and with that in mind, I have done pretty much the majority of wedding planning thanks to the internet. Sure, there’s a little word-of-mouth thrown in for good measure (for example, our jeweler who is the one my parents use and our venue, which is where Mr. High Wire’s cousins got married). But generally, the way we decide on our vendors is research, obsessively reading reviews, and working with vendors who give timely responses to my emails and requests for additional information.
If they type their emails in a way that makes me think they have this expression, even better:

I decided that I didn’t want to deal with hotel blocks, and that everyone could put on their grown-up britches and book their own rooms. Why?

I’ve been thinking a lot about our guests lately. Since we’re having a semi- destination wedding for a lot of people and it’s a weekend shindig, a lot of our guests are going to be staying at the property for a night or two. There are four different lodges on the property, and part of my job is to figure out where people will be staying. Because it isn’t just a hotel with plenty of available rooms, I really want to get the room assignments figured out just right so that as many guests as possible can stay on the property and not have to worry about driving home after the wedding. But while I was working on this, I started thinking about what I would want if I were a guest at our wedding.
