Be glad you’re not a celebrity. They’ve got it tough as you will soon see. But when they get married, celebrity weddings can teach you three valuable lessons.
Celebrity Weddings Lesson #1: No need for a destination wedding
Take Jeff Bezos. The second richest person in the world, with a net worth of $203 Billion (according to Forbes) is getting married in Venice this summer. No, not Venice, Florida, or Venice, California. Venice, Italy. As you might guess, Jeff’s buds are fellow billionaires with a smattering of millionaires thrown in for good measure. For example, Katy Perry (net worth of $330 million) and her fiancé, Orlando Bloom (net worth of $40 million) are expected to attend Mr. Bezos’ wedding.
Your lesson: if you’re like the typical couple with whom we work, you don’t have money to burn. Even our wealthiest clients (and we have many) recognize that destination weddings cut out many guests who decline your invitation because of the high cost of attending.
Family and friends are more important than celebrities. Since entertainment makes the event, we’ll keep the dance floor packed all night long to ensure your guests have a better time than if they had spent a couple of days on a plane flying to Venice!
Celebrity Weddings Lesson #2: No need to get married on a yacht
As People Magazine reports, Bezos will probably get married on his $500 million yacht … in Venice (Italy)! That’s a long ways to go to get married on a boat, especially when he could sail it back to the States and save his guests some cash!
We have some incredible venues right here in Cookeville, so save you and your guests some cash and plan your wedding in your hometown. We’ll pack the dance floor to ensure your guests the time of their lives. No need to travel 4000 miles (each way!).
Celebrity Weddings Lesson #3: No need for celebrities
Everyone thinks it would be cool to have celebrities at their wedding. Be careful what you wish for. Celebrities can be pretty high maintenance. So, speaking of Katy Perry, watch the video below for just one example!
Wedding celebrations are very much about relationships, obviously beginning with the love of the betrothed couple. It expands to include the family and friends who have added such rich meaning to your lives.

No need to get married on a boat in Venice surrounded by privileged celebrities. Scott Stevens Entertainment will treat YOU like royalty.

Amazon’s 100 Greatest Wedding Songs contains many of the usual songs you’d expect at a Cookeville wedding. “At Last” by Etta James tops the list followed by Elvis’ “Can’t Help Falling In Love.” Number fourteen on the list is an interesting song, because the composer himself didn’t like the song. Billy Joel’s “Just the Way…
Social media churns out juicy wedding controversies on a weekly basis. This blog ran across two recent stories that point to larger question than just wedding etiquette questions.

One of the greatest speeches in American history, the Gettysburg Address (re-enacted in the video above), took but two minutes to deliver. And yet a recent bride writing to an advice columnist mentioned that her future in-laws gave a 20 minute wedding ‘speech,’ a real no-no. Even Martin Luther King’s iconic “I Have a Dream”…

Discussions on how to give a wedding toast typically focus on younger couples in their twenties or early thirties. Young love is especially passionate, often reflected in the toasts themselves.

Netflix released another wedding-themed movie, Mother of the Bride, starring Brooke Shields. It follows right on the heals of Irish Wish, starring Lindsay Lohan, released just a few months earlier. Although wedding movies can be endlessly fun, Mother of the Bride was haltingly boring. The premise: Emma (Miranda Cosgrove) springs on her mom, Lana, (portrayed…
