Pre- planning Tips

When:

Pretty important to decide when the wedding is going to happen and get your reservations placed.  The busiest party months are May, June, September, October and December, so plan extra early for events during these months.

Invitees:

The guest list will help you determine how large a venue you will require and will help you estimate your costs.  A rule of thumb we regularly use is that about 80% of the invitees will attend (in reality, we see some pretty wide variances)

Where:

Site selection is also critical and dependant on the number of guests expected.  Whether you’re using your church fellowship hall, a banquet center, a hotel or a tent in the back yard, you’ll need to decide early on in order to get the space reserved.

Type

Are you planning a sit down dinner, a buffet or a cocktail reception?  Will it be formal or informal? Are you serving any alcohol, if so will you have mixed drinks as well as beer and wine?  All of these questions will need to be answered early in the planning process as well.

Level of involvement

How much of the planning, set up, breakdown etc do you want to personally do?  Your level of involvement can range from doing it all yourself to contracting everything out.
