Planning Tips

We all know how difficult the last couple of years have been.  Although couples are still getting married, they are looking more closely at where they want to spend their money. 

One suggestion I have is to prioritize what is most important to least important when looking at your overall budget.  For example, are the photos the most important thing to you?  The band? The flowers? The decor? the invitations? your gown?  When you are going through this process, remember that when all is said and done, the memories you have of the day will be recorded for you by the photographer.  He/she will document the day for you so you can look back on it for years to come.  Don’t under-estimate the importance of hiring a professional, seasoned photographer.  With the advent of digital cameras, there is an entire new generation of wedding photographers cropping up. But like, inexperienced wedding planners, they often do not know what they are doing and end up making the day a complete mess. When interviewing photographers see lots of albums and ask lots of questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for references from recent brides they have worked with but remember we all have a different benchmark for what constitutes a good photographer, so when talking with the bride, have key questions you want answers to.   And remember a picture is worth a thousand words!
