Choosing The Right Venue

Posted on Nov 24, 2008 under Wedding Venues | No Comment

10-03-2006-12-28-43-812-copy-2.jpgHe asked the question…you said yes, you picked a date and now it’s time.  Time to choose the venue.  

But how to decide?  How do you know what to look for?There are so many details  you never even thought about…

When choosing a venue, keep in mind these several (and I mean several) points:These are the obvious ones…

1.  How much? (this is a loaded question beacause it has multiple answers….)

2.  How many guests does it hold? (be careful with this one!!)

3.  How early can we arrive to set up? (wait till you hear this answer!!)

4.  How late can the party go? And, how much time do we have to get all of our things out?( you would be very surprised to hear what many venues say about this on!) 

5.  Can we use our own catering/ DJ/Photographer/ Flowers etc?  (this should be a no-brainer, right?  Think again!)

6.  Outdoors? (does the venue have a contigency in place in case of inclement weather?)

7.  Oudoors?  (does the venue have to abide by a noise abatement program?)

8.  Does the venue allow pets? ( some like to use their pets in the ceremony, some venues say no)If you are the slightest bit shaky on any of the points mentioned above, you need to do your homework.  I deal with brides every week with venue issues.

If they had the Exclusive Wedding Guide (a brides best friend) they would have been armed with the knowledge! 

There are probably at least 10 more very crucial points to be considered that have not been discussed.  They are , however, located in the Exclusive Wedding Guide >>>

Get to know your Wedding Emcee/DJ

Make sure you clearly spell out what you consider appropriate and inappropriate.

Each DJ/MC’s level of skill and talent for presenting activities can vary greatly. If you happen to meet with other Disc Jockey’s that do not offer activities to you, please do not hesitate to ask what unique ideas they bring to the table.  It’s takes a skilled professional Master of Ceremonies or a Story Teller to perform  events properly. Remember it’s not what you do; it’s how you do it.

If other DJ’s tell you they do activities don’t give them any details, instead ask them how they would perform certain activities. There answers may tell you quite a bit about their skill level and knowledge.

Delegating Wedding Duties

Posted on Sep 29, 2008 under wedding planning | No Comment

dscf2594_edited-1.jpg

One of the most important factors that go with planning a wedding is

determining who you will be delegating specific duties to. For example, if you are terrible at choosing flowers, who will you assign to do it for you?

It is always best to try to give different duties to others so that you will not be overwhelmed by them yourself. Let’s take a look at some of the various duties that you can hand out:

· Catering: Who do you believe would be the best person to handle all of the arrangements for the food and drink at your wedding?

· Invitations and seating arrangements: This person will be addressing and mailing out invitations and making sure that people are seated in a fashion that will ensure everyone’s mutual comfort and enjoyment

· Decorations for wedding and reception includes center pieces

· Rehearsal dinners etc.

· DJ/Entertainment

· Brides maid and groomsmen gifts and favors

· Gowns, and tuxedos

· Bridal showers/bachelor parties etc.All of these things are usual must haves when it comes to a wedding, unless of course, you opt not to have bridesmaids or groomsmen in the wedding. All of these things can be murder to try to do on your own as well.

That is why you have to get in touch with people who are capable of taking over some of the menial jobs for you. All of these things seem small at first, but they can quickly add up to quite a bit of money when they are all combined together. Let’s take a look at who will do what…

bride-poster.jpgIf you are planning a wedding….then treat it like a wedding. Do your homework, prepare and come to the realization that it will not be cheap!!!!  Cheap is a block party with your home stereo speaker out the window and Uncle Bob cooking burgers on the grill.  Cheap is having your sister take pictures while she is trying to calm her 2 year old.  

If you want a classy, unique, memorable wedding….don’t treat it like a block party.

If you can’t afford it…postpone it.

DYI Weddings…..Save Money & Do It Yourself?!…BEWARE!!

Posted on Sep 03, 2008 under Uncategorized | No Comment

Yes, they say “Do It Yourself” and save a ton of money. That is a fact Jack! You can save a bunch of money, however, at the expense of your time and sanity. Be careful and choose your projects wisely.  DYI wedding invitations are a great idea for example, however it is a very time consuming project.  Getting married is a very hectic and involving process.  Don’t fill your plate with too many projects or you will become frazzled. Remember to “Delegate Duties”. 

The Exclusive Wedding Guide has devoted an entire section to your wedding party’s duties. Everyone has a job, from the Ushers to the Maid of Honor.

I have seen too many brides who are completely drained (emotionally and physically) on their wedding day.

Work smart….not hard!  The Exclusive Weddding Guide will show you how!
