    <p>Host: What is the benefit of using a wedding specialist?</p><p>Gerry Rogers:A wedding specialist focuses exclusively on weddings or events, usually more on the wedding side and they will have all of those kinds of props and specialty items that weddings have come to expect. So, if you have a Jewish wedding, a wedding specialist will undoubtedly will have a hoopa, they will probably have several different designs of hoopas and even some custom designs that they would do specialty for your wedding. They will also have specialty props for your table centerpieces. Some wedding specialists also get into things like fabric and lighting, they will really handle more than just flowers. It's really about the design and a cohesive design for your event. A wedding specialist will be more likely be a designer than a simple florist.</p>
