20 Wedding Savings That Will Go
Unnoticed by
Jackie Baird, On Bended Knee -
www.bendedkneeweddings.com Not every bride these days has a Wedding Fund pot of Mom and Dad’s money. So here are 20 unnoticeable ways to save without creating a wedding drag.
1. More Intimate
Affairs- Smaller weddings of 100 guests or less are more popular than
ever. Couples have caught on that smaller weddings lend affordability
for more lavish elements. Fewer guests equal options for a smaller
venue, a lower food and bar bill and less tables to seat guests. Cozy
seating builds intimacy, including long feasting tables and furniture
“lounge” seating. Family-style food makes for a sharing atmosphere and
requires less wait staff. Every element will equate savings, even
invitations. Less guests is win-win! Savings $$$$

Be Careful Which Wedding Vendors You Hire With the state of the economy, it's even more important to know as much as possible about whom you are hiring for your wedding vendors. The past few years, we've seen many banquet facilities close up over night and leave couples scrambling for a new venue for their wedding. Clearly, your choice in photographers, videographers and disc jockeys need some scrutiny as well. How long have they been in business? Are they a 1 man operation? Are they advertising or did you find them at a bridal show? (Any company that does not have a website or has no advertising and relies strictly by word of mouth - this is a good indication that they might not even be in business by the time your wedding comes around). Many new upstart companies - disc jockeys and photographers especially, will never make it to their 1 year anniversary. photographers or disc jockeys that have not updated their equipment in recent past - this is also a warning sign. Know what you are getting. Get everything in writing. Pay deposits by credit card for some added security and protection. We expect that 2009 will be a rough year for many wedding vendors who are already struggling to survive. Just as we expect many stores to close in the new year, we also expect 2009 to mark the end of many careers as disc jockeys, photographers and videograhers. Only the strong will survive. Buyer beware. Would you believe that 2008 was one of our best years ever? Our business is thriving and 2009 looks to be just as good for us. We have positioned ourselves properly in this tough economy and we will be here for many years to come. Great Wedding Blogs To Checkout

Your Wedding Day Timeline The $600 DJ - Ten Reasons To Hire A Pro So, you've been out shopping for a DJ and with the assumption that every DJ is pretty much alike, you find someone that is 1/2 the price of other area DJs. What a bargain. Here is what you might expect from them:
Your Name In Lights / Custom Gobo Designs Create a unique and unforgettable moment as you take the dance floor for your first dance. Custom up-lighting also available to transform your entire wedding venue.
Did you find someone to DJ your wedding AND provide up-lighting for a ridiculously lower price compared to other lighting and DJs? The red flag should be waving about now. We have heard of other area DJs offering what they call up-lighting. They are using low output low quality LED products. You cannot compare a light fixture that only outputs 1000 LUX at a 20 degree angle to our higher powered 4000 LUX 40 degree dispersion fixtures. All our lights are run WIRELESSLY. No messy wires running around the room. Lights are spread out all around the venue and can be controlled remotely. We do not just setup 2 or 4 fixtures. We provide 8-10 fixtures for a standard banquet room. Ask questions - know what you are getting into. Don't settle for a lame attempt at lighting your venue when we can create such a professional dramatic effect for you at a very reasonable price compared to the lighting vendors and just a bit more than the poor quality DJs attempting to provide lighting services. Photo Booth Rentals Looking for a photo booth for your upcoming corporate party or wedding? We also offer photobooth rentals, dunk tanks and so much more. Email us to inquire.
Custom Recordings You've planned your event for many months to be perfect in every detail. A day filled with hugs, loving glances and softly spoken 'I do's"...the unforgettable passion of a first dance with the person of your dreams. Your DJ Network disc jockey can now create a custom mix song for your first dance. Using sound clips from your ceremony, toast or prerecorded in-studio - listen to what we can do for you. These are unique and customized recordings specially designed to make your wedding reception a memorable occasion. Ask your DJ Network disc jockey about this exciting upgrade today. |
