bake your own wedding cake

Should you bake your own wedding cake?

By fivestarentertainment | April 1, 2024

bouquet toss

Is the bouquet toss history?

By fivestarentertainment | March 18, 2024

The bouquet toss isn’t the staple at weddings that it once was.

And yet it provides such great photo/video ops. It…

The not-so-big wedding

By fivestarentertainment | January 22, 2024

Twenty-five years ago, architect Sarah Susanka authored a fascinating book titled, “The Not So Big House.”  In many ways, her thinking is a natural complement to a post-pandemic trend, the ‘not-so-big wedding.’ Susanka points out that the 1980s sparked what she called the “‘starter castle’ complex, the notion that houses should be designed to impress…

bad wedding vow

The wedding vow from hell

By fivestarentertainment | January 8, 2024

Your life pivots on your wedding vows. Nothing is (or should) be the same thereafter.
