Dealing with a No-Show DJ

Pickle: No-Show DJ

It is always a bride's biggest fear. What if one of my vendors don't show up? You can generally get a feeling of reliable vendors before you book them, but the control freak in you may be freaking out. Especially if it is one of those DJs that don't do contracts.

The Pickle: The DJ cannot make… Continue

Running out of Food at Reception

Pickle: We Did Not Just Run Out of Food!

If you are opting for a buffet for your reception, you better be talking with the caterer about how much food will be provided. If the food is running low towards the end of the reception, good.
