§ 01 · What it is

The Reception, briefly.

For families planning · for vendors listing · for anyone who cares about doing it right.

The celebration after the formal vows — dinner, speeches, first dance, open bar (or not), the parent-child dances, the bouquet, the cake, the DJ set that runs until 2am. This is the event your guests will remember, and it's where experienced vendors separate themselves.

Melaa's job is to show you the vendors who've actually done this before — not the ones who'll learn on your wedding.

§ 02 · What to ask

Five questions, every vendor should answer.

Copy these into your first DM or brief. Their answers will tell you everything.

01

Can you handle low-light indoor shooting without flash-fatiguing guests?

02

Do you capture the speeches, not just the dances?

03

Will you stay until the last song, or do you leave at a set hour?

04

How do you handle the parents' first-dance moments (they're tender)?

05

Can you coordinate with the DJ for cake cutting, bouquet toss, etc?
