World Kitchen Presents Wedding Day Radio: Beth Parentice
When is green champagne a welcome sight at a wedding reception? When it’s poured by Beth Parentice of Eco-Bar. “More and more spirit companies are making their products organically—not using preservatives and pestacides. And if it’s a hard liquor that uses corn or wheat, the distillers are using organic corn or wheat,” she tells I Do Radio host Angela Chester. “What we do is not only use organic spirits, but we combine them with organic juices or herbs or dairy products. “We’re also economical because we don’t usually come with a full bar. Most clients will choose about three signature cocktails, plus one wine and one beer.”

World Kitchen Presents Wedding Day Radio: John Rudy
Brevity’s not only the soul of wit, but of wedding toasts too. “There’s a funny story that happened last year at a wedding I was catering. The bride was terrified that her brother and dad would go on forever with their speeches at the reception—and of course say something inappropriate,” John Rudy of Food For Thought tells The Wedding 101 Show host David Rothstein. “We told her, ‘We can help them. We’ve got outlines that are perfectly suited to giving a wedding toast. It’s a foolproof way of making sure they stick to the script.’ She said, ‘They’re not going to use it, but give it to me anyway.’ So we gave the brother and dad the outline—these guys were not public speakers—and they said, ‘This is great. We would’ve gotten up there and fumbled all over ourselves.’ They got through the toast in under two minutes.”

World Kitchen Presents Wedding Day Radio: Tracee Wright
Perfect as any bride hopes her nuptials to be, something usually goes wrong, big time. That’s why Tracee Wright of Weddings Done Wright totes a super-sized emergency kit to every event she produces. “That’s one of the things that separates us from other planners out there,” she tells Success with Grace and Charm host Walethia Aquil. “Their kit is basically a purse. Because they’ve seen the movie The Wedding Planner, where Jennifer Lopez has a cute little purse with all the different compartments. That’s fine when I’m going down the aisle with the bride. But for the real emergency situations, I have a piece of luggage with me, hidden behind the DJ or the bar. So say your dress is tight. We can let out the seam a little, and use Velcro. Because we don’t want you getting light-headed and fainting during the ceremony. But we also have smelling salts, so we can take care of that too!”

World Kitchen Presents Wedding Day Radio: Rick Bisesto
Just when you thought you had a handle on all the elements necessary for a memorable post-I-do-bash, along comes Rick Bisesto to explain the many misconceptions of tenting—namely that it’s just this big white piece of canvas. “It depends on the vendor you use. They may only have one or two tents to choose from," the vice president of Stamford Tents tells Wedding Planning Radio host Jeannie Uyanik. “But others will have many. There are white-top tents, clear-top tents, different shape tents, and tents made from different types of fabric. There’s one called a ‘sail cloth’ tent, which is in fact made from a beige sail cloth, so the sun shines through it, giving everything inside a magical glow, like you might see in Nantucket just before sunset.”

World Kitchen Presents: Erika Beckwith and Robin Hunt
Cocktails and Conversation hosts Erika Beckwith and Robin Hunt know how stressful the wedding-planning process can be. After all, over the past decade, they’ve done it hundreds of times for their own clients in the Detroit and Atlanta areas. However, says Erika, “Our advice to you is take a breath, make yourself a French martini and calm down. Planning your big day can seem like an overwhelming task, but if you break it down into bite-sized pieces, it can be manageable. The first question you need to ask yourself is, Do I see my wedding as modern and contemporary, or classic and traditional? After that, do I envision it taking place in the spring, summer, fall or winter? And then, what would be my ideal number of guests?”

The kitchen
Today we are going to be talking about the kitchen and how we can get on top of things in there. We will focus on cleaning and organising and learn how to keep on top of things once it's all done so that we do not have so much to do after we're done.

World Kitchen Presents Wedding Day Radio: Leah McCarthy
Planning an outdoor wedding? Fabulous! Just be sure to take a tip from Weddings with Leah host Leah McCarthy. “The most obvious detail to consider is the weather. Not only rain, but here in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, we have to take into consideration the heat. And the time of year we choose,” she says. “We can of course say our prayers. But when Mother Nature’s involved, you never know what’ll happen. So you want to make sure you have a contingency plan. Often at popular outdoor venues, there will be some indoor space nearby that can be easily switched. And if you do choose a hot month, you’ll want to keep your guests comfortable. So be sure to have some cold drinks available before the ceremony, and perhaps even some towels on ice with lemon slices.”

World Kitchen Presents Wedding Day Radio: Jeannie Uyanik
“If you’ve recently gotten engaged, the first thing you should do is sit down and think about your guest list,” says Wedding Planning Radio host Jeannie Uyanik. “Because it sets the tone for two things: how much space you need, and how much money you need to pay for all of those guests. Whenever I talk to couples, I always ask, ‘How many people on your guest list? And they always say something like, ‘We think it’s about 200.’ But most of the time, it’s actually about 300.”

World Kitchen Presents Wedding Day Radio: Raymond Tsang
When you hire Raymond Tsang and Justin DeMers of Stillmotion Pictures to shoot your wedding, be prepared for a production worthy of Steven Spielberg. “Regardless of how small the cameras are becoming, there still needs to be a relatively large setup, compared to someone with just one tripod, Raymond tells Wedding Planning Radio host Jeannie Uyanik. “And in Jane and Fred’s case”—he adds of Jeannie’s pals who tied the know last year—“it was very much kind of a fairy-tale wedding. And Jane looked like a princess. So the steadycam in that case was fitting. It made the shot very grand, very eipc, which was the effect the couple was looking for. So we were able to tell a much more powerful of a story.”

World Kitchen Presents Wedding Day Radio: Debi Lilly
“When you first get engaged, you have a lot of things you’re figuring out and learning about and it becomes overwhelming because there’s so much to do,” says Debi Lilly of A Perfect Event—aka Oprah Winfrey’s wedding planner. “So we’ve created a storefront you can walk into seven days a week and see trends tables that are always set with linens and china and flowers and menu cards and favors—just like you’ve walked into a wedding. We also have a full stationary department, where we carry the big-name brands, and do custom designs. We had a bride who was marrying an NFL player and she ordered a silk box embroidered with her monogram in antigue blue with acqua gold. And, boom, that’s what we created.”

World Kitchen Presents Wedding Day Radio: Jacqueline Nwobu
Jacqueline Nwobu has a simple message for couples planning their honeymoon: forget the Carribbean. “We have a feature on our website called The Pearls of Africa that we started after our research showed a wealth of great honeymoon destinations there,” the Munaluchi Bridal magazine editor tells Nightly Candy Chat host Nana-Adwoa Ofori. “Now we’re out to change the perception of Africa, so when people think of the continent, they don’t automatically associate it with poverty and suffering. We want them to realize there’s surfing and blue water and beaches and skydiving. Any activity you can think of can be done over there.”

World Kitchen Presents Wedding Day Radio: Samantha Goldberg
If you know what’s good for you, you won’t arrive late at a wedding planned by Samantha Goldberg of Style Network. “My biggest peeve is people who walk in as the bride is about to walk down the aisle and they’re trying to get in front of her so they don’t miss her approaching the alter,” she tells Wedding Podcast host Robert Allen. “But I just tell them, ‘You are not going. You are so not going. You’re going to wait, because that’s really disrespectful to the bride.’ So many times I’ve seen guests come into the church, scurry to the wall and try to race the bride down aisle.”
