7 factors to consider when planning your perfect wedding.
1. Budget
Wedding budgets are all about balance. If you decide not to get a wedding planner, your wedding will be the biggest event of your life to plan, let alone creating its budget.
- Write down how much you’re willing to spend and stick to that number
- Create a wants & needs list
- Take into account the venue, catering, wedding planner, invitations, attire, photographer, DJ, and some flowers and decor
2. Research, Research, Research
If hiring a wedding planner isn’t in your budget, research photographers, DJ’s/bands, florists, and caterers local to you. When you have 30 minutes on your lunch break or are out with the girls, stop by each vendor and have a conversation. If it’s feasible, ask for references. Ask questions and get their business cards.
3. Guests
Have an approximate number of guests you’ll invite to your wedding before settling on a venue.
This will ensure ample space for your guests, tables, waiters, the DJ, and a dance floor. A good rule of thumb is to allow 25-30sq ft of space per guest.
4. Location & Venue
One of the most important decisions you will make while planning your wedding is where to hold the ceremony and reception. With so many wedding venues available, you’d think choosing one would be simple, but it never is.
5. What’s on the Menu
After determining your budget and the approximate number of guests, it’s time to plan the menu. Does the venue you choose offer food and beverages or are you responsible for bringing in caterers? Many large facilities offer a full banquet service, giving you the opportunity to plan a variety of menu options with their chefs – eliminating the extra steps of locating your own caterers. If the venue doesn’t offer catering, plan on researching local wedding caterers and read customer reviews.
6. Review the Playlist
Hiring a band or DJ will make your entire wedding reception run smoothly. Once you’ve hired someone to play on your big day, make sure you come prepared with a list of songs you do and don’t want to be played at your reception. Personalize it.
7. Have a Backup Plan
If you are looking for outdoor photos or even an outdoor reception, ask if there are any wet weather options in the event it rains, storms, or is too hot and humid. While many venues have other rooms that you can utilize in case of inclement weather, some venues may not be so lucky. This is why you’ll need to have a backup plan.
