In today's challenging world those of you planning an event need to understand first of all where your priorities fall. So you'll need to evaluate what services are the MOST IMPORTANT to you. Sight & Sound Events recently met with a bride from the Bridal Spectacular show whose most important priority was the entertainment. It was important enough for her to invest more money in GOOD, QUALITY and FUN entertainment than any of her other services. When asked about a budget for entertainment she didn't have one yet because she wanted to meet the best in the business and build a budget from that.
The top 4 ingredients to a successful reception according to recent newlyweds were the location, the entertainment, the photography and the videography. When its all said in done the photos and video are truly the ONLY way to remember the party. The entertainment was the driving force behind those great photos and video.
The solution to whether your budget is realistic is to research the best in the 4 categories (location, entertainment, photos and video) take time to meet these professionals survey the funds you set aside in the budget and get a realistic budget based on your meetings with these professionals.
This strategy is a sure fire success strategy in selecting the vendors for your wedding. Your comments are always welcome.
