		<description><![CDATA[At one of my seminars at the recent Grand Wedding Show in Auckland, a couple revealed one of the main reasons they didn&#8217;t book a specific Auckland wedding venue. A venue they&#8217;d looked at thought they had more control over the music than the couple themselves. Allegedly, if the venue didn&#8217;t like their song choices, [...]]]></description>

During the past season I worked with a photographer who said all the wrong things.  With the bride, groom, and [...]]]></description>

When I meet with couples to talk about their wedding plans, I almost always ask if they&#8217;re are considering using a professional videographer.  if they&#8217;re undecided, I share the following story.
