Meet Dynamic Sound & Lighting!
Our social media takeover week for April 18, 2022 features Dynamic Sound & Lighting of Casper! Meet owner Jeff Schafer and his crew and learn more about this company that is aptly named — we’ve worked with them for years through both our bridal expos events and having them provide sound & lighting for our other hat, Laramie Dance Center, when we had a pandemic-fueled plan B recital inhouse in 2021. They were fantastic! But I’ll stop blabbing on and let DSL introduce themselves and their team … “Hi Everybody!

Virginia Ruth Photography: Emotion. Captured.
We always love promoting the talented wedding vendors that we’re blessed to have work with our publication, and right now, we’re hoping that you all will give them some extra love. It’s tough ALL over. There isn’t a person who hasn’t been affected by this pandemic somehow. We hear a lot about eating out curbside-fashion to support your local eateries (and we love that!), and about getting gift certificates to support your local retailers (love that too!) … but what about some of those businesses that fall outside both those categories? What if you yourself are unemployed now and/or budget crunched and can’t spend a lot of money right now?…

The Reception Experience — WOW Your Guests!
By Sabrina Spears, Wedding/Events Planner & Designer Sabrina Spears Events – sabrinaspearsevents.net 307.333.4676 Ever attended a wedding and were completely bored out of your mind (not to mention the food was horrible?!) I’m certain the thought, “When are they going to cut the cake so we can leave?!” crossed your mind. The reality is the blissful newlyweds probably didn’t share the same sentiment as you did — they had an amazing time! The experience a bride & groom have during their wedding is very different from their guests. I often remind my couples that while the marriage and ceremony is all about them, the reception should be designed with the…
