Tips and Advice
Off Season is a good way to save money. We offer a winter discount for the months of January, February, and March!
Fridays and Sundays are always a good way to keep in budget as well, we have a discounted price. Vendors will work with you for less too.
It is always good to have a good estimate of the amount of guests you will be expecting, especially because of the guest minimums.
Weddings should be booked at least a year in advance, now is the best time for 2009 weddings. If there are 2008 dates available always negotiate.
Also, it is best to know what you want look at many wedding magazines for ideas.
Be creative and unique it goes a long way.
