The role of best man
A lot has to go right for the day to be successful. It's all about finding the balance between humour, challenges and good experiences for the whole group - with the bride or groom at the centre.
- Start planning early - for better flow and more opportunities.
- Share the responsibility. You don't have to do everything alone.
- Remember, the most important thing is that the bride and groom feel seen, included and celebrated!

- Feel free to use the bride/groom as a guide to avoid missed shots.
