Ø Tips to make your day go smooth and to get the most for your money:
o Check with the church and make sure that we can start shooting 2 hours before the ceremony and if we can have the church for an hour after the ceremony.
o Have the florist there 2 hours early. If the flowers are not there on time, we cannot start pictures on time.
o Please make transportation arrangements for 45 minutes to an hour after the ceremony ends. This way you are not paying for a limo to sit in the parking lot.
o Do a grand entrance with introductions instead of a grand march. Everyone is together and mostly sober. If you wait until later in the evening it can take over 30 minutes to organize everyone and most people in the wedding party have been celebrating quite a bit.
o Cut your cake before dinner. This will allow the cake to be cut while people are eating and will allow it to be served directly after dinner. This will eliminate having 100 slices of cake going to waste.
o Do maid of honor and best man toasts during dinner.
o Mingle when you have finished eating. This will allow you the time to dance with family and friends later in the evening.
o Have the DJ do your festive activities early in the evening while you have a group to watch and participate. We’ve seen too many times when they have waited for the garter and bouquet and the dollar dance and there have only been a few people left to participate. We’re with you until 10:00 so it’s not like we’re trying to get out early.
o The most important tip of all… Have fun and let your entire planning take its course. It’s your day and we’re here to help it go smooth!
