Additional Questions and Answers
Why do I need a planner? In a word, stress! Almost every bride today has had a vision of their wedding day since childhood. She sees the beauty and the glamour of being "Queen for a Day". Unfortunatley, to get all the beauty of a perfect weding day it takes between 100 and 200 hours of planning. Once realized is when the panic sets in and the dynamics change greatly. If your a bride, ask yourself:

1. Do I have 100 - 200 hours to plan my wedding?
2. Do I know all the best vendors that fit my vision and my budget?
3. Do I know proper etiquette?
4. Do I have the patience to deal with all the emotional personalities that become involved in every wedding?
5. Do I have the time to dedicate myself on the day of my own wedding to give the attention to the details and managemnt required?

If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, Four Seasons Productions has various levels of services and planning to help you with your wedding.

Tips and Advice
Deciding Whether to Postpone or Cancel a Wedding because of Job Loss?
Here it is in plain English: The economy stinks. But that doesn’t mean your wedding has to stink too.

The US recession and generally terrible state of the world’s economy has many people questioning their future plans. But a wedding isn’t some indulgent vacation – it’s an important ritual and milestone of your life. If you’ve been laid off, or you’re worrying about the potential of future unemployment, you might be thinking about postponing or canceling your wedding. Even if you’re sure about going ahead, you’re probably wondering how everything’s going to get paid for.

Before you panic and cancel the wedding, here are some ways to make your wedding work in spite of the economy.
Think about Where You Can Cut Wedding Costs. Of course, the most obvious solution is to just have a cheaper wedding. But since that’s easier said than done, here are a few suggestions to help:
Outline What About a Wedding is Most Important To You
If you haven’t already filled out Four Season Event Production's newly engaged questionnaire, now is a good time. This will help you see if it’s possible to cut costs while still having the elements that are most important to you. Do you want a fancy event with fewer people? Or would you rather have a very simple event that everyone you know can be at? If both are equally important to you, consider if having the wedding of your dreams is more important than getting married soon. In that case, maybe postponing the wedding would be a good idea.
Consider Having a Two-Tiered Event
If you don’t have the money for a lavish wedding, maybe you want to elope, or have a very modest wedding reception now while planning for a bigger event later on. It could just mean waiting until your jobs are more stable, or planning on an important future anniversary.
Look Into Wedding Insurance
If you still have your job, but are worried about losing it and thus not being able to afford the wedding
might be a good option. But be careful: Many policies don’t cover unemployment, and others are very expensive. Make sure it’s a wise financial decision for you.
Make Sure You Know Your Vendors’ Cancelation Policies
Before you sign a contract with a photographer, caterer, or other wedding vendor, make sure you know what their cancellation policies are. Know whether you can get back all or part of your deposit if you cancel before a certain date. Some vendors will only charge you a small fee for postponing, as long as you book them for a future date. If you’ve already signed contracts, go back and read the fine print. If it’s still before the cancellation date, it might make more sense to cancel or postpone now, rather than waiting to see what happens. And, if your money is already non-refundable, you may want to go ahead with the wedding in spite of money worries.

What You Shouldn’t Do
• If there is any chance that you might have to cancel the wedding or indefinitely postpone it, don’t use any already received cash wedding gifts. Though it’s tempting to spend cash when you have it in hand, especially when there’s not another ready source of income, this is not a wise financial decision. Etiquette says that you should return all wedding gifts, and if you’ve already spent it, that will be very difficult to do.
• Charge The Whole Wedding
Putting your wedding expenses on a credit card and not worrying about the expense until “later” may seem appealing at first. But unfortunately, “later” will come sooner than you think. Most likely, you'll be dealing with those bills and their high rates of interest long before your economic situation improves significantly.

We’re all hoping that the current economic crisis is short-lived. Many experts are predicting that the worst will happen during the summer of 2009, and then the economy will start to recover. But when you get married, you’re telling the world that love is forever. Maybe it’s good to know that when you vow to love each other “for richer AND for poorer” that you really mean it.
