Congratulations on your recent engagement! It is such an exciting time for you and your partner. While it is the most exciting time, it can feel overwhelming so your friends at Versatile Event Designs have compiled some steps to help get you started!
First things first, when you’re ready to start your planning, you’ll need to set a realistic budget. Once you have an idea of budget, you can fid your venue and set a guest list based on that. Not all venues have everything included, some have almost everything you’ll need form decor to catering, and others simply provide tables and chairs.
Once you have an idea of your budget, we recommend finding the right venue. The Knot has a great quiz so you can narrow down your vibe and have jumping off points. Part of finding the venue is knowing approximately how many guests you will have or will want to have.
Think about what is most important to you. Do you have a caterer you NEED to have, or want to have fireworks at your exit, ceremony by the water, or have guests stay onsite? Whatever your deal breakers are, find out before scheduling a venue tour.
This way, you can filter on websites like PartySpace and Wedding Wire. Don't forget, not all venues and vendors are on these sites so be sure to do a Google search and ask around in wedding Facebook groups for hidden gems. Finding the venue you love will drive your wedding date. Once booked, you can then move onto your vendors.
When it comes to booking your wedding professionals, we suggest a similar idea to what is above. Figure out what is important to you and go from there. If its a packed dance floor, a talented DJ is a must. If its photos of the day you’ll cherish and share with family, you need a professional photographer whose style you love. Book the vendors that are most important to you first and then save on those that aren’t your top choice. For example, if transportation is not exceedingly important to you, consider renting school buses rather than shuttles or limos that look nice but cost twice as much.
When it comes to booking your photo booth, DJ, videographer, and photographer in New Jersey or Pennsylvania, reach out to Versatile Event Designs. We bundle our packages to fit your needs and budget!
Most of all, we recommend that you enjoy your engagement! Take time to celebrate, pop the champagne and get excited about your big day.
