Here we are...7 weeks until the wedding. We are getting married on a beach that just so happens to also have a small restaurant off of it. The restaurant is also ran by the venue. My wedding is scheduled for 6pm, dinner is at 7, cake cutting at 8, dancing from 8-10pm.
I was just informed "The DJ will have to stop playing at 8:30pm because we will have a live band on the restaurant's deck that begins then. Wait...WHAT?!
Then-- they tell me I can't do my sparkler send off at 10pm (even though I was previously told it wouldn't be an issue) because it could be a fire hazard. Really? They are sparklers. We planned to have guests dispose of the used sparklers in a bucket full of water when finished, and I spent good money on the extra long 80 second sparklers and on the sparkler tags (that have our names and wedding date on it) and on the custom mason jars I made for each table to hold the sparklers.
What am I going to do?!? I can't have dancing from 8pm-8:30pm and then stop.
I also can't believe a sparkler is that big of a fire hazzard. It's a beach. There are no trees or branches, and they are raking the beach prior to to clear it, so there are really no chances of any issues. I just...am beside myself.
Signed,
Stressed & Depressed Bride
