Review

If you are reading this, then you’re probably planning a wedding.

Congratulations. Wedding planning is fun and special. My fiancé and

I were engaged in August of 2009 and will be married in October of

2010. We’ve been planning our wedding for several months. At the

start, we were amazed to discover that the wedding industry is

enormous. The options seem endless. Here are some key things we’ve

learned to make the process enjoyable:

1. Start planning early. We heard this bit of advice a lot and it is

definitely worth repeating.

2. Budget. Don’t forget to budget for additional costs like tax,

gratuity, and delivery because they make a huge difference.

3. DIY. Be careful of “do it yourself” projects. Although some DIY

projects are wonderful, some can end up being more costly and of

poorer quality than if purchased from a professional. There’s value

in leaving things to the experts.

4. Reviews. Use reviews to help weed through the sea of options.

Find reviews on the internet and ask vendors to put you in contact

with their previous customers for testimonials. Friends and family

are good resources too. When it comes to reviews, always consider the

source. Reviews help to ensure that the vendors you chose will

deliver the service that you’re expecting on your wedding day.

We hope this information is helpful. Happy planning. Have fun.
