Commellini Estate, established as a wedding venue in 1941, is a private location in north Spokane with six different wedding venues, a gorgeous creek, grassy lulls, romantic trees, an in-house chef, all the amenities you need for you and your loved ones, AND rehearsal & wedding day coordination.

In my conversation with Desiree, we talk about:

- the history of Commellini, it's rich culture, and why Commellini is close to her heart
- the estate's grounds, and what the venue provides, location wise (think: romantic, billowing trees, soft grass, rivers...)
- the services Commellini provides: wedding coordination, rehearsal coordination, flexibility in property access, event management, inventory & decor, getting ready suites, catering (they have an in-house chef!), and a full beverage service.
- bridal packages
- FAQ's: what are the parking amenities like? What is the venue's capacity? Is there a cut-off time for the wedding? Will there be concurrent events during the time of a wedding? Do you have a liquor license? Can I hire outside vendors?
- Desiree's advice when searching for a venue and wedding coordinator, and planning a wedding.

Create a photo experience that guests are EXCITED to post! With Electric Photoland's impressive 20+ employee team (spoiler alert: they make their own software! *gasp*), and roster of 20 different photo booths, Electric Photoland creates FOMO at your event and gives guests something to cherish, long after your event is over!

I sat down with Ashley Cone of Electric Photoland Photobooth and we dove in! We chatted about:

1. How does a photo booth work - does it print photos right away, or send them to your phone?

2. What types of photo booths do you provide? Can the booth be customized to a couple's aesthetic?

3. Why is having a photo booth important, at a wedding?

4. Ashley's love for photography (it started in elementary school!)

5. The places she's been, with her photobooth (a Meta event, anyone?)

6. Electric Photoland's sister company: backdrops!

7. Electric Photoland's start-to-finish process, to bring your vision to life, on your wedding day.

8. Advice, and funny stories (aka: "What can Electric Photoland do if things get a little crazy in the photo booth? I may need some photos deleted!")

Did you enjoy this episode? Please share with a friend!
