I know what brides and grooms want. Over 21 years ago, I was once a bride too. Brides and grooms want it all, and then some, and often on a limited budget. Unfortunately, these couples think that they have to sacrifice quality in the face of budget, but what they don't realize is that planning far in advance, and prioritizing can enable them to have their cake and eat it too.
I've worked in the wedding industry now for over 20 years now, and have noticed that no matter when in the Central Valley, whether Fresno, Visalia, Modesto, or even Yosemite, couples don't realize that they CAN have their wedding at some of the most beautiful wedding locations and banquet halls within their budget.
1. First I recommend that they consider hiring a professional wedding consultant who can help them to stay withing their budget.
2. If you need more than a wedding planner - Consider hiring a wedding designer, or event designer. Why an event designer? Well, simply put, event designers are the ultimate package in one. You can get coordination services if desired, combined with party rentals, and decorating expertise and services for one great package price, that's why.
3. Choose a California wedding location or venue that provides areas for both your wedding ceremony, and your wedding reception. Also, consider whether or not the reception venue offers in-house catering services as well. This package type thinking can actually save you money.
4. Choose a wedding venue that is beautiful to begin with, and save money on your decorating bill. That's right, the decorating bill can add up when you have to dress up a less than attractive venue. Save money, by choosing a gorgeous wedding location, and you will see that you can have the wedding of your dreams within your budget.
