Planning a wedding is an incredibly exciting and sometimes stressful time for any bride-to-be. There are many details to organize and you may feel overwhelmed by the amount of it all. There are 4 necessities that can spell a recipe for disaster if not properly planned and budgeted: 1. Ceremony date and location 2. Reception location 3. Wedding Dresses 4. DJ / Entertainment and your list goes on. So, one might inquire about hiring a wedding coordinator. That's great if you have the resources and ability to trust someone to create your vision. But, the majority of us plan our own wedding. First priority is to secure the ceremony location. You need to do this in conjunction with inquiring about a banquet hall, which is the second priority. You may find that you've got your wedding date and a church, but the hall you want is already booked. The opposite can happen if you have your heart set on a particular reception hall, and your ceremony location is not available. Contact them as soon as possible. Pick two or three reception locations to try and offset date conflicts. Reception locations vary in prices just like everything else in the wedding business. Be flexible, as you may need to put wedding dollars in more important areas. Third priority is the dress. The Bride and Bridesmaids dresses need to be ordered in advance allowing for ample time prior to your wedding day incase of incorrect dress size, color, or style. When considering a seamstress, it is a good idea to have the salon where the dresses were ordered, make the alterations. The fourth and most forgotten priority is your entertainment. There needs to be a lot of communication in this area. If you are hiring a band that is known for wedding performances, find out what is, and is not included. Will there be a Master of Ceremonies? How will you have your first dance? Are any announcements made? Bands are usually more expensive than DJs. The only problem is that you've spent a lot of your budget already on things that will make your wedding beautiful. But what will make your wedding memorable? The entertainment. Many people are shocked, if not appalled at the rates of professional wedding DJ services. So, they bargain hunt for entertainment because they've spent fifteen thousand dollars on food at nice location, fourty-three hundred on fresh flowers, thirty-six hundred on photo and video sometimes with extra charges to follow. Many people think that DJs are all the same so why not hire the cheapest. This often ends up being a mistake. Keep in mind the old saying "You get what you pay for.". There is a major difference between a DJ and a Wedding DJ. Of course, you're going to research reception locations that fit your style. You'll browse dozens of dresses searching for the perfect one. Flowers and a photographer are most certainly needed. But wedding entertainment is what makes or breaks your reception. It's a fact. |
