The DJ, wedding coordinator, photographer, and videographer must work together to make the reception flow smoothly. I absolutely loved that ATRG made sure that I was in the area before announcing any major events. Some DJs start the first dance or bouquet toss without ensuring that the photographer and videographer are ready. It rained briefly before the outdoor ceremony began. The DJ grabbed papertowels and joined the wedding party as they dried off the seats. They definitely go above and beyond what is expected.

I highly recommend Head Over Heels wedding planning service. It is truly amazing how much of a difference a wedding coordinator can make at a wedding! Weddings can be so chaotic but a coordinator will ensure that everything runs smoothly. Head Over Heels has something for everyone….They offer full-service wedding planning and day-of coordinators. Laura is down-to-earth and fun to work with. To schedule a consultation, you can reach Laura at 704-840-7549 or email headoverheels@lauramassie.com.

Last fall, I overbooked myself by scheduling 2 weddings per weekend. The weight of my camera equipment took it’s toll on my back and neck. I was so sore after a double wedding weekend! I found an excellent massage therapist in Huntersville. Karen at Valeria is amazing! Chad booked massages for us this week. I had forgotten how wonderful the experience could be with the right masseuse.
During the busy wedding season, I usually have knots in my upper back that Karen works out for me. It’s a little painful but totally worth it! When there are no knots to work out, it is just a relaxing and indulgent experience. The 9-head Swiss shower is complimentary with any spa treatment. I haven’t tried the shower yet, but Chad loves it!
The deep tissue massage is 50 min- 1 hour and costs $75 (plus tip). When I visited Karen this week, she gave me 15% off certificates for new clients. If you would like to schedule a massage with Karen and save 15%, please email me at kate@kateashbrook.com. Valeria is located less than a mile off of exit 25 on I-77. Their number is: 704-987-3888.
I have had wonderful and not so wonderful experiences with other Charlotte wedding vendors over the years. The city definitely has it’s share of people who are passionate about their work in the wedding industry! I will add recommendations for those I have worked with who consistently exceed client expectations. When you have vendors you can trust, you can expect your day to flow more smoothly. =)
