Hire a Wedding Coordinator<\/span><\/h3>\n

A wedding coordinator has a vital wedding experience. Even with the smallest budgets, they <\/span>know which corners can be cut, what prices are reasonable, and which vendors to trust.\u00a0<\/span>They will iron out any issues and make your vision a reality.<\/span><\/p>\n

Envision your wedding<\/span><\/h3>\n

Is your dream wedding a formal affair, or more laid back? Primarily indoor or outdoor? Is it a\u00a0<\/span>huge gathering, or are you surrounded by only your most intimate friends and family?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pick a date<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you are planning on a June or August wedding, you are going to want to hustle. These d<\/span>ates are filling up fast for any venues and vendors that you might be interested in. <\/span>When choosing a date, it\u2019s important to check with family, bridal party, and other key people. <\/span>If you have your heart set on a specific venue, photographer, DJ, etc. you may want to <\/span>check to see if they have your date available before making a final decision on the date.

Budget<\/span><\/h3>\n

I know I don\u2019t need to tell you this, but weddings are EX-PENS-IVE!! If budgeted a<\/span>nd prioritized correctly, your wedding can be everything you dreamed and more, even w<\/span>ith the smallest of budgets. Start with what is most important to you. Find ways to make y<\/span>our money stretch. Think you can\u2019t afford a DJ or a photo booth? Save $5 a day by making <\/span>homemade lunches for the next 3 months, and you already have $450 ready to use. Shave\u00a0<\/span>a little off your spending, find ways to earn a little extra, prioritize the things you don\u2019t want to\u00a0<\/span>skimp on and be creative on the things that don\u2019t matter to you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Book a Venue<\/span><\/h3>\n

Take into consideration the size of your guest list, whether you want a kid-friendly or adult-only<\/span>\u00a0environment, and the style you are going for. Schedule tours for your favorite venues.\u00a0<\/span>You may pay more at locations that offer everything included, and less for the place where\u00a0<\/span>you are responsible for everything. Knowing your priorities and budget will help you\u00a0<\/span>determine what location is the best fit for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Reception\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Book your vendors<\/span><\/h3>\n

The best vendors at the best prices are the first ones to become booked out first. Prioritize y<\/span>our needs and place a deposit to hold your day. These vendors may include a caterer,\u00a0<\/span>photographer, videographer, DJ or live band, florist, photo booth, hair and makeup artist, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n
