Q. What are some things I should remember when budgeting for my wedding?
A. Just keep in mind that there are many extra costs in addition to the package that your site provides. Be sure to budget realistically for these extras.
Q. What should I remember when looking for a reception site as well as my wedding ceremony?
A. In consideration of your guests, it is important that there be as little time as possible between the end of the ceremony and the beginning of the cocktail hour. If there is too much time in between, guests will have nothing to do! There is plenty of time for all the pictures while your guests are having cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. Many couples are now having pictures taken prior to the ceremony which allows the bridal party to join the cocktail hour.
