Tips and Advice
Congratulations on your engagement!
Here are a few tips for planning your weddding.
1.) Find and book a venue you like with a date that works best for the two of you and your families.
2.) Find a fun  band that is versital and a full service wedding music provider (like Phresh Act)  that is available and for your big day.
3.) Find a caterer if not handled by the venue you booked.

All of your other vendors should also be booked as far in advance as possible, but the first three
are most time sensitive and most expensive.

I've been around this industry for a few years, and if there is anything I can do to help make your day perfect,
I will certainly do so.
