we deal with the drama so you don’t have to.
one couple had divorced parents who could not sit near each other. we made separate “head-ish” tables and shuffled their friends so it felt normal. no tension. just smiles.
another wedding in dumbo had a super tight venue with funky table sizes. we built a floor plan that fit everyone, didn’t block the bar, and gave the grandparents an easy exit path (trust—they appreciated it).
