Venue – The venue is one of the most important factors of a wedding and needs to be chosen carefully. A venue should have sufficient seating, great scenery, and enough space for dancing and should have a space for a musician or DJ to work from.
Catering – Food is important and you really need the best caterers to ensure that the food and wedding cake gets delivered on time, that the food tastes great and that it will still be completely fresh by the time your guests start to dine.
Music – There are a lot of options these days to give you the best music for your wedding. You can get a DJ, perhaps arrange your own band or get a simple musician to sing at your wedding.
Décor – Décor is expensive but luckily if you choose your venue wisely, you can make due with limited decorations and flowers. The right venue can save you a lot of money and decorative time.
Beverages – During a wedding, your guests are going to be thirsty but with the cost of alcohol, more and more people are using cash bars instead of supplying their guests with free drinks. The decision however is completely up to you.
The one thing that has nothing to do with your wedding planner
The dress is probably the most fun part for the bride and luckily, if you are paying for her dress, you are very likely to tag along and watch her fit one dress after another to find the perfect fit.
