My Wedding Regrets pt.2 | #wedding #planning #regret #lateguests

I didn't realize planners had to also be bouncers

[ashleywilliams]

It’s the fact that the friend didn’t get let in AT ALL.
To me at least it would make sense to hold late arrivals until the Wedding Party has made their entrance

[aurorabehymer-smith]

I feel like they should have asked you about that...

[cgmanning]

I'm planning my wedding right now and your wedding regret videos are making me consider things I hadn't even thought about. Thank you!

An outdoor venue, a seat in the back… pretty sure after you were down the aisle and things were settled he could have snuck in without disruption

[sofiajs]

okay that is sooo important because i would’ve been PISSED like mad mad if they didn’t let someone in

[MrKongsMom]

As a former wedding planner I would for sure chat with my clients about something like this prior because people are constantly late. But honestly most of my brides did not want latercommers to be allowed in because it is super disruptive during the ceremony. I would however frequently quietly sneak people in through a side door who were late. As a guest I would recommend leaving a bit early if you are unsure of where you are going or to account for traffic. Wedding day timelines are usually super tight due to venue restrictions.

It sounds like THEY should've asked this question. It's not something that you would necessarily think of and you're hiring a planner because they are supposed to be the experts. They should've run this by you beforehand.

oh lord.. i m so grateful that I live in India.. this is not a thing at all to let or not let.. Door is open 24/7 and we appreciate the thought of theirs to get ready n come to venue all the way..

I instructed our planner to not let anyone in during our walk thru. Until bridal party and me we’re down the aisle, late comers could come in . I felt it was disruptive

[observer]

Damn, I feel like this needs to be talked about more! Thank you for sharing, I’m sorry that happened to your and your friend… and the fact that he stayed and just waited 🥺

[tanyahugill]

You don’t have to tell your planner that. I am in the business. It is customary to hold people until the bride gets down the isle and than assist in seating them. I am sorry this happened to you.

Considering we're having a Filipino wedding, the venue coordinator would be lucky if the worst thing I did was deny her a tip for pulling this. My in-laws would murder me if I were a tight-ass about the timing!

[Flowerlady]

I always let people slide in late if it will clearly not disrupt anything. There are planners, staff, photogs, videographers, walking around constantly. No one would really notice someone skipping in late. The planner just sucked.

[sammiejam]

Most hilarious memory of my wedding is seeing my lanky little cousin sprinting through bushes and across the back of the field as I’m preparing to walk down the aisle 😂

[kmackblack]

This is something the wedding planner is responsible for bringing up..not the couple being married. Something like “Hey so my typical policy is to not allow anyone to come in after the ceremony begins, what are your thoughts on that?”

[Monica-leoi]

There’s be a bigger scene if they didn’t let me than if they just let me slide into a seat. While someone is walking down the aisle I understand the no. Once everyone’s in place ima be moving toward a seat.
If I miss the wedding my gift misses it too.

[harshitaarora]

You should come to an Indian wedding, we even have strangers coming in!

[msmoonbeam]

The wedding planner was totally out of line if someone is invited they should have been let in.

[maddielopez]

That would’ve ruined my day. Seems like someone was on a power trip.
