Is WeddingTalks for you?

Is this you?

You're engaged and excited… but the planning feels overwhelming.

Two families, two sets of expectations, one budget.

You want the wedding of your dreams without breaking the bank.

You care about the marriage, not just the party.

You wish someone wise would just sit you down, tell the truth, and help you sort it all out.

If that sounds like you, WeddingTalks was created for you.

What is WeddingTalks?

A 1‑hour experience for couples who want clarity

WeddingTalks is a weekly, in‑person event hosted inside one of New Haven's most beautiful bridal boutiques.

For one powerful hour, you'll join a small group of engaged couples as Wedding Realm Founder & serial entrepreneur Ide Ehigiato shares practical wisdom on:

handling wedding stress and family expectations

planning a beautiful day on a smart budget

preparing your relationship for the lifetime that comes after "I do"

It's honest. It's funny. It's real.

You'll laugh, maybe tear up, and walk out lighter, more connected, and more confident.

1

Prepare, Plan & Preserve your marriage

Ide shares how couples use Wedding Realm and local vendors to maximize their budget - without sacrificing beauty, joy, or guests.
