wedding planning

When you’re planning your wedding, one of the biggest decisions you’ll make is choosing your venue. Just about every other part of your plan comes back to the venue, and picking the wrong place can put a damper on your big day. It’s never a good idea to jump into a venue contract after simply touring a place. It’s important to ask questions so you can make sure that the venue can accommodate all of the details that matter in your dream wedding, from capacity concerns to catering policies.

When it comes to wedding planning, it is important to be aware of trends for inspiration, but to utilize these trends in the right way, to suit your unique tastes on your special day.

Let’s be honest: Weddings can quickly get expensive. While it is absolutely worth it to splurge on your special day, sometimes the sticker shock can leave you a little dizzy as the cost of centerpieces and decor and invitations begin to add up. Most wedding planning experts urge couples to invest in the two most important aspects of the day: The venue and the food. It’s not worth being stingy on the elements that guests are likely to remember most. While we don’t recommend skimping on your wedding entertainment (after all, bad DJs can be really bad), it is an area of planning that can be pulled off on a budget with a little bit of creativity. Learn some tips for planning your wedding entertainment on a budget, below.

After you've been to a wedding, what are the details that you most remember? Oftentimes it's the food that stands out most but for many people, a close second is the epic dance party that lasted well into the night. Having the right music can completely change the atmosphere at your wedding so choosing the right DJ is an important consideration. If you've decided against a live band (or will only have them play for a short amount of time), then you'll need to start thinking about bringing in a DJ. While you could queue up a playlist on your iPod and leave it at that, a professional DJ will make your wedding one to remember.
