Real Brides Podcast E22 CHAUNCEY HOTEL PRINCETON NJ
In this episode of The Real Brides Podcast, Vanessa shares how she chose Princeton’s Chauncey Hotel for her reception—falling in love with the picturesque grounds, the historic Laurie House for getting ready and cocktail hour, and the convenience of on-site lodging that saved time (and transportation costs). She highlights flexible indoor/outdoor spaces (including a beautiful tent), gorgeous photo locations, great food, and standout coordination from the venue team. Her advice to couples: arrive with a vision but stay open, prioritize staff vibe and communication, and always taste the food before you book.

Real Brides Podcast E21 FAVORITE VIDEO MOMENTS
Rosana revisits Nico and Mia’s Battleground Country Club wedding film, packed with sweet and funny moments: Mia’s first look with her twin and her pizza-focused brother, a prank first look that swaps the bride for her tall brother, and an emotional real first look that sets the tone. During the ceremony, Nico “makes it right” with a surprise re-proposal, and the night shines with marquee letters, golden-hour portraits, and a packed dance floor. Their takeaway: trust your photo/video team—even if it means pausing cocktail hour—for memories you’ll replay forever.

With help from a stellar day-of coordinator, the celebration still shined—but Vanessa’s takeaway is clear: don’t mix friends and vendors, vet thoroughly, and prioritize professionalism over a “deal.”
