MISTAKE #2: Hiring amateurs or friends for your wedding day.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of including your guests in your wedding day. By all means, have Aunt Sally sing “Ave Maria” for your ceremony or ask your brother to perform a song he wrote on guitar. But don’t expect amateurs and hobbyists to deliver a professional performance at your wedding.
There will be awkward gaps. They will miss some of those important moments. An amateur won’t know what to do when something goes wrong, which usually means that things will get worse. If you like your friends and family…and you’d like to keep it that way…don’t hire them for your wedding day.
*WARNING:

If you decide to hire an amateur or a talented friend to provide a service for your wedding day, make sure you adjust your expectations. If less a than perfect performance is going to make you unhappy, don’t do it.
