MARRYING ON A HOLIDAY WEEKEND


Here’s a few tips to remember if marrying on a holiday weekend is part of your wedding plans!

  •        Plan WAY in advance
  •        Book the venue and vendors early  (12+ months in advance)
  •        Send out save the dates (8-12 months in advance)


How to Save on Catering



       Do not have a sit down dinner; instead choose a brunch, afternoon tea, desert or late-night cocktails.
       Have your guests choose their meal choice in advance.
       Choose liquors priced at the mid-line.  Don’t go for the most expensive.

The Traveling Cocktail Party

In one of my past Blog Posts,  I mentioned a Traveling Cocktail Party in the tips from 1000 Best Wedding Bargains about the wedding size.  It’s exciting and has a different mingling factor to it.  Here’s how that works:
       Have champagne and hot hors d’ oeuvres on the terrace for one hour
       Have a hot buffet in the banquet room for two to three hours
       Enjoy cake and champagne and other desserts on the terrace
*It’s a known fact that cocktail parties can save you 15-45% in per-guest charges!
