World Kitchen Presents Wedding Day Radio: Sara Mendelsohn

Let’s face it: everyone loves watching a wedding ceremony culminate with the groom kissing the bride. But equally enticing is the swag that awaits the guests at the reception—particularly it’s been assembled by the likes of Sara Mendelsohn of Sara’s Gracious Goodies. “Gift bags are really the meat and potatoes of what we do,” she tells Wedding Planning Radio host Jeannie Uyanik. “These past few years it’s become a custom business where someone says, for example, I want a New York theme. So we’ll develop a concept based on that, everything from a black-and-white cookie to New York-style prezels that are fresh baked to a Serendipity frozen chocolate bar. Also a copy of New York magazine. And of course, New York being the Big Apple, an apple. We’re always looking for new products that are very signature to New York.”

Just listening to Cindy McClure describe her latest libation is enough to make us tipsy. “It’s a birch martini we created for a rustic wedding reception,” the CEO of Dress the Drink tells Black Bag Productions host Kim Moss. “It’s a white chocolate martini, and we drizzle the inside of the glass with chocolate then put it in the refriderator so it looks like branches. Then we rim the glass with crushed edible flowers and gourmet cocoa, and adorn it with one of our sweet-glazed edible voilas on a chocolate stick.” But if you want to keep your wits about you during the event while not missing out on all that sinful confection, Cindy’s got you covered. “We also offer a non-alcohlic version,” she says. “Our mixologists call it a white chocolate ‘mocktail.’”

As anyone who’s attended a wedding reception in recent years can attest, photo booths are the hot feature. But what forces precipitated this trend? “Weddings are a special day and capturing every moment is so important. Hiring the best photographer, hiring a cutting-edge videographer is only a part of that,” Cheryl Bayma-Brock of Shutterbooth tells The Wedding 101 Show host David Rothstein. “Photobooths have become a new way of capturing a whole other side of the wedding. Guests really let loose in the photobooths. Now, everybody owns a digital camera, or a smart phone with a built-in camera. The problem with those is that a lot of people never print out their photos. But because out booths print out the photos on-site, they become a treasured keepsake.”

Sorting through the vast array of DJs who tout themselves as perfect for your wedding party can make your head, ah, spin. So you’d be wise to heed the advice of a pro like Curt Zimmerman. “No two weddings are the same. When we do meet with bride and groom, we ask them what they'd like, what their vision of their wedding reception is, and how we can best make that vision become a reality,” the founder or Stax O Wax Productions tells I Do Radio host Angela Chester. “Every couple has their own favorite style of music and knows if their family members are big dancers or not-so-big dancers. It’s very easy for us to change up styles, so we really strive to make the reception what they want it to be, and not what we think it should be.”

Tags: World Kitchen Wedding Day Radio The Reception wedding videos Brett deMarrais of WedIt
Brett deMarrais reveals what led him to found WedIt, a service that takes the videographer out of the picture while delivering professionally edited wedding videos for under $500. “I always had a love for film and movies so I started doing research, and I came across a stat that 50 percent of brides nationally—over a million a year—don’t get a wedding video,” he tells Cocktails and Conversation hosts Erika Beckwith and Robin Hunt. “One of the reasons was the cost. The other reason was that there’s a stigma attached to wedding videos, namely that they’re invasive—you don’t want a cameraman in your face while you’re eating. We dispensed with the videographer so if there is someone shooting you during dinner, it’s your best friend. And because you’re not paying a crew to show up for half a day, we’re a lot more affordable.”

Exotic ice cream is fast becoming a favorite at wedding receptions. And there’s no one better to expound on this trend than Natasha Case of Coolhaus. “Our ice creams are all-natural, they don’t use any artificial ingredients or preservatives, and we use antibiotic- and hormone-free dairy,” she tells Wedding Planning Radio host Jeannie Uyanik. “So we started thinking, let’s partner up with an ice-cream chef, because we make some crazy stuff, like fried chicken and waffles ice cream, and brown butter and candied bacon ice cream. A lot of the development process was trial and error. We were just Googling recipies and tweaking them as we went. Then we just passed the idea on to our pastery chef and told him, ‘Make this happen.’”

While wedding receptions are typically held at a different location than the ceremony, don’t make the mistake of having too big of a gap between venues. “A wedding I planned a few years ago, the ceremony was in Kensington, Maryland, and the reception was in Gainsville, Virgina—about an hour’s drive away!” says Confetti Radio host Debbie Quain. “The wedding was beautiful, but the logistics of getting to the reception were a nightmare—even for guests who were local to the area. I can’t imagine what it was like for those folks who were from out of town. Even if the bride and groom provide transporation to the reception, then it gets into things like where do guests leave their cars, when do they get onto the shuttle, and making them wait for the shuttle to return if it just left a minute ago.”

“As photographers, we get up close and personal with your flowers, so it’s really important that they’re the best quality they can possibly be,” says Savvy Biz Talk host Toni Nelson. “I’ll never forget one time I was shooting a wedding and we walked in and the bridesmaids were frantic, and the problem was, they’d gotten their flowers at a local grocery store. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but the quality wasn’t what they wanted. The flowers had been in a refridgerator overnight, and many of the roses had brown edges on them, they were wilting, they just looked terrible. The client asked me what to do and I told them to take the best flowers from the bunch and make the bouquet from that.”

What better way to immortalize your wedding day than by transforming your bouquet into a painting? Artist Reenie Rose explains that process. “I try to go to the florist the day before the wedding. Usually the boquet is done by then,” she tells The Wedding 101 Show host David Rothstein. “And I take a gazillion photos of the bouquet, because I’m thinking about finding a painting there. I also do paintings for anniversaries. I’m doing one now for a couple’s five-year anniversary, so I got in touch with the photographer who shot the wedding. He was thrilled and gave me his entire proof sheet from the event. I’ve also done anniversaries from as far back as 25 years, where the only photo available was a small, poor 35 millimeter. But I was able to work with a florist to recreate the original bouquet and use that as my model.”

The most eco-friendly weddings start when your guests sit down for dinner, says Kate Harrison, author of The Green Bride Guide. “The majority of the environmental impact from a wedding comes from the food. Because you’re feeding upwards of 150 people, and the average meal travels three to five thousand miles from where it’s grown to our place setting,” she tells The Wedding 101 Show host David Rothstein. “So try to plan a meal either using an eco-friendly caterer, or working with your regular caterer and asking them about what’s available locally and trying to incorporate the season and the region that the wedding is going to be in into the menu to decrease how far food has to travel. Also, you’ll get fresher, more delicious, often less expensive food.”

Tags: World Kitchen Wedding Day Radio The Reception commin wedding-day mistakes The Wedding 101 Show host David Rothstein
The Wedding 101 Show host David Rothstein tackles common blunders made by brides and grooms on their big day. “The first mistake they make is having separate rooms at their reception—one room for dinner and dancing, and another room for the bar, photo booth, suite tables and so on,” he says. “But what that does is draw half of your crowd out of the main room, where they hang out. That’s a dangerous thing to do. What you get is two half-weddings. The second mistake is having too many events at the same time. Sometimes couples will have six toasts, and then a video montage, and then Uncle Jim’s going to play the trombone with the band and then there’s a special presentation to your grandfather. The danger here is that if any of the events run longer than scheduled, it gets exhausting for your guests.”
