What If You Cant Afford A Wedding Planner? by LaHeiress(f): 9:50am On Dec 05, 2014
WHAT IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD A WEDDING PLANNER?

We understand that not everyone may be able to afford or hire a "full-service" wedding consultant to plan the entire wedding. But have you considered hiring a professional "wedding coordinator" for your wedding day management? A coordinator is responsible for ensuring that your big day runs smoothly and timely. You can plan for all the beautiful things in the world for your wedding day, but if it does not run smoothly, it can be a disaster.

However, if you enjoy planning and want to do it yourself, by all means, go for it!  But do yourself a favor on your special day. La' Heiress recommends that you leave the coordinating and details in the hands of  a capable, professional wedding consultant by considering a “Wedding Day Coordinator"


ADVANTAGES
- YOU CAN WORK WITH YOUR OWN VENDORS, WE ONLY BRING THEM TOGETHER AND CONVEY OUR CLIENT'S WANTS TO THEM.
- IT TAKES THE STRESS TOTALLY OFF YOU ON YOUR WEDDING DAY.
- IT IS CHEAPER THAN HIRING AN EVENT PLANNER, (look for one that offers a variety of packages).
- AT LA' HEIRESS OUR PACKAGE COMES WITH 5 FREE USHERS AND FREE FACIALS FOR THE BRIDE "or" A FREE WEBSITE.

When brides and grooms start looking for wedding venues, too often they fall in love with the beauty of the place and sign a contract before they've considered the more practical things. But unless the place is so magical that you're willing to plan your whole event around it, your shouldn't choose between wedding venues until you've decided approximately how many guests you're inviting and the size of your budget.

You'll also need to decide if you want to have your ceremony and reception in the same place, or if you want an all-in-one wedding venue.Once you know these things, and you have a few wedding venues in mind that fit that budget and size, then it's time to start asking questions!

*What's the decor like?

*Does it fit your style and wedding colors?

*Will you have to spend a lot of money on decorations to make it beautiful?

*Do they have an in-house caterer, and do you like that food? (While an in-house caterer can be easier and cheaper, sometimes the food is not as beautiful as the room. So make sure you taste it!)

*Do they have a limitation on which outside caterers you can use?

*Do they have adequate bathroom facilities?

*Is the wedding venue wheelchair accessible? If not, are there many stairs to climb? You have to put into consideration the elderly guests you would be inviting.

*How close is the parking to the ceremony and reception rooms?

*What's the cancellation policy?

*Is there a payment schedule?

*What kind of deposits are required?

*Are there any hidden costs? (Before you sign the contract, read it carefully.)

*What are the overtime charges?

*Do they have a liquor license?

*Will they allow you to bring your own liquor? (This is usually cheaper, even with the customary corkage fee.)

*Is there room in the wedding venue for a band and/or dancing?

*Does the wedding venue already own a sound system with adequate speakers or will that need to be rented?

*Is there a space for the bride and groom to change and/or relax?

*Where will you take photographs? Is there a park nearby, or do the coordinators have recommended spots on the grounds?

*Who will be supervising and troubleshooting before and on the day of your wedding? Can you meet them now?

*Where can your guests park their vehicles? If there is no adequate space, is there an alternative parking area for them?

*Please also remember to ask if they will power the hall, especially for all the vendors that would be needing electricity for their equipments. Some halls only power the hall for the decoration and AC's, which would mean the band and DJ would have to bring theor generating sets and that could make them charge higher.

*Are there extra fees for parking?

*Is the wedding venue convenient to public transportation, especially in big cities? How long will it take your guests to get there?

*Especially in hotels or VIP lounges, restaurants, are there limitations on decorations?

*Do they limit food and drinks to only certain areas of the wedding venue?

*Are candles or other open flames allowed?

* Do they allow overnight decoration? Some hall venues are very big and would need to be set up days before the event.

* How much is their caution fee for the vendors, like the decorator, drinks! E.t.c?

*If its an outdoor location, do they have any backup plans for rain or other inclement weather? If not, is there a place that you can put up a tent? 

WHEN LOOKING AT SEPARATE WEDDING RECEPTION VENUES AND CEREMONY LOCATIONS

*How far is it from one location to the other?

*Do the two places have the same level of formality and a coordinating style?

*Do they both accommodate about the same number of guests?

*Does the wedding reception venue have any experience with weddings from your ceremony location? 

WHEN LOOKING FOR WEDDING VENUES FOR BOTH CEREMONY AND RECEPTION

*Do they own enough chairs for the ceremony, or will they need to be rented?

*Does the wedding venue have an entirely separate area for the ceremony? 

Hopefully, these questions will help you cover the basics while you're looking at wedding venues. In your search for a wedding venue, there will probably be even more questions that arise for you personally. For example, you may want the venue to reflect your heritage, or with a large wedding party, you may need ample parking for limosines.

Hope this will help in your venue searching! Good luck!

Did you know?

Recently, we suggested a week-day wedding to a bride of ours. On getting to most reception venues, we were getting really good prices. The venue we finally concluded on, slashed it's price from their normal N650,000 to N250,000. We bet that if most couples knew this, there would be more weekly weddings than weekend weddings.

Having your wedding on a week day will save you much more money than you expect and you will still have a fabulous wedding day.

Small and Intimate Weddings

I am always amazed by couples who contact me for small budget weddings and go ahead to say they are expecting 500 to 700 guests with a really small budget.

When planning a "small wedding" size really does matter. Start off by deciding whether you want a low buget small wedding or an extravagant low-key wedding with a few guests.

When planned right, know that a low-budget small wedding with a few guests can look really elegant and classy. And when it comes to weddings, smaller may actually be better.

There is more time for the bride and groom to spend with their guests, the group really gets to know one another, and everyone contributes to the event in his or her own way.

Intimate celebrations, it seems, have certain advantages. Here, we unveil the truth behind small celebrations...

For more on this topic, visit www.justbudgetweddings..com[url][/url] you will thank me later.

You can have a small and memorable wedding and that's what we do. We make it happen for that bride on a budget.
