Has anyone actually eaten at the White House restaurant over in Unknown Town? Any reviews?

Hey! I actually rented a tent for about 80 people—complete setup with white tables and benches, roughly 10x4.5m, everything included for $233, plus they handled delivery and assembly... went through Miller's outfit over in Rural County near Indianapolis. If you want their info, I can shoot you a DM.

Can someone please point me toward a hairstylist in St. Louis who actually knows what they're doing for wedding updos? There are plenty of options out there, but let's be honest—half of them are a gamble I'm not willing to take.

You don't even have to pay until after the wedding is over, and if you have any leftover boutonnieres, she'll actually take them back. It's such a lifesaver!! 🙏🙏🙏

And where exactly across the border? Like, near Memphis or what??

Sarah Taylor4 said:Henry Thompson5did you end up calling about those bluegrass musicians I sent you the number for?

Hey! I actually made a few more calls and managed to track down some cheaper options over in Richmond.
Well, I guess I owe you one after all... thanks.

Does anyone have recommendations for where to pick up wedding rings in Richmond? I’m also on the hunt for a solid makeup artist/salon recommendation.

Sarah Taylor4 said:So, you mentioned looking for a band nearby because the ones you hired only perform in their own rehearsal space—that got me thinking, are you actually hunting for a folk group specifically?

If so, I know a group that might fit the bill, and I can pass along their number if you want.👍

Right... I could definitely use some bluegrass musicians. Send the info to my inbox.
Thanks...🙂🙂

...I'm such a klutz... does anyone know how to fix the timestamp on my post? It keeps jumping two hours ahead of me like it's on some weird schedule

And it’s for the exact same reason—they don't want anyone getting any bright ideas about ordering some traditional😉

..you have drinks because of that...👍
..all they told us was that we can't play music at the house...
what kind of venue are you even using???

Folk music?

My guys are a Bravo band... they aren't folk musicians. They play just about everything except the traditional stuff. Since my fiancé is a rocker at heart, why would we want anything else?

I've got my wedding coming up on October 3rd. It’s being held at the White House, and the Bravo band is playing. I'm actually heading out to hunt for a wedding dress next month...

Does anyone have any recommendations or contact info for local musicians? I'm looking for people who can play unplugged—basically just some talent to perform at the venue itself since they won't be traveling to my place.
Also, what kind of budget should I set aside for this? I'm thinking maybe a small band or even just a solo act.

They’re great, honestly. Really nice quality. The best part is you don't have to seal them off completely; you can adjust the sides however you want depending on the breeze.
As for invitations, I haven't even started looking yet. Since we're planning this out of town, I haven't checked the local shops here. We were actually thinking about checking out a specialized print shop over in Chicago.
The prices seemed fair, and they look sharp. Just Google that print shop and you'll see what I mean...

How much did you end up paying to rent your tent??? I already checked out that gallery in Indy and they actually look pretty good... I'll probably go with them since there isn't much worth seeing in New Orleans...
Thanks!!!🙂

And... does anyone have any solid recommendations for getting invitations printed?

Since we’re touching on the Midwest—which doesn't pop up here all that often—I was wondering: where can I actually rent a wedding tent? Just for the backyard portion of things... you know, in case the weather decides to turn?
