Just checking in on our engaged couples planning their wedding… 🤍
A few things we wish every couple knew:
• Book the vendors that can only do one wedding a day first—venue, photographer, videographer, DJ/band and coordinator.
• Don’t wait too long to build your guest list. Your guest count affects almost every part of your budget.
• Before booking a vendor, ask about ALL costs—not just the starting price. Travel, service fees, gratuities, rentals and add-ons can change the final number quickly.
• Build a little extra room into your budget. There will almost always be something you didn’t think about in the beginning.
• Think about your guests’ experience, but don’t plan your entire wedding around making everyone else happy.
• And one of our biggest pieces of advice: once you make a decision you feel good about, stop looking. You don't need to keep shopping just because there are more options out there.
