If you’ve met me for longer than five seconds you know I have a DEEP love for Brancato’s. Of course one of the reasons is because of their stellar food, but they are my top choice for a wedding caterer because of their service. Catering can truly make or break a wedding day. You want a caterer who is going to bring extra flatware because they know some will get dropped. You want a caterer who will refresh a buffet before your guests even know anything was out! Most importantly, you want a caterer who will be transparent about pricing and flexible with building the menu you want. Check out these quick tips on what you should look out for in a caterer and what the experience is like!

In a world of negative news and all the doom and gloom...shift your focus to the positives. I know this can be "easier said than done" when you've invested tons of time, money, and energy into your plans. But keep your focus on the good things to come like...marrying your best friend, being healthy, having vendors who have helped transition your original wedding to a new postponed date or helped with details to bring your vision to life with the new normal. Please remember that this time won't last forever. We are all in this together and we will come out stronger.
