Venue Tips by Joan Bevers at The Breakers Resort and Style Me Pretty
{www.thebreakers.com + www.stylemepretty.com}
1. Consider having a destination wedding without leaving the USA. Many venues can offer a full destination wedding experience without the hassle of passports, customs, multiple plane changes and last but not least making the experience easier for your guests.
2. Interview the Catering Manager to ensure that they have a high degree of expertise in the following areas: Menu Planning, Ceremony Orchestration and connections to the best Vendors in the Wedding Industry.
3. Plan your tasting approximately 3 months prior to your wedding to ensure the menu is creative and speaks to your individual taste and style.
4. Look for a venue that has “All Inclusive” packages. For example: some Caterer’s prices might appear to be lower than a resort however, you may experience “hidden fees” that actually make it more expensive. Examples would be rentals (china, tables, chairs), tenting, A/C, electrical charges etc.
5. Finalize all major details thirty days prior so that you have time to enjoy some personal pampering before the big day.

Catering Tips by Creative Edge Parties and Style Me Pretty
{www.creativeedgeparties.com + www.stylemepretty.com}
1. You should always schedule a tasting just 2 months out from your wedding date.
2. It is always optimal to try and stay in the season of your special day. This way you will know exactly what foods are in season and which dishes make the most sense to serve your guest.
3. A caterer should never present a single option to you at your tasting that can not replicated for every one of your guests, whether it’s 25 guests or 500.
4. Always ask for a detailed budget proposal, not just an overall price per guest. A caterer can present a seemingly low cost per guest, but a bride must know if that cost includes everything she wants; whether it is champagne for the toasts, the appropriate linens and table ware, or even the applicable taxes and gratuities.
5. At most weddings, 8 – 12 different hors d'oeuvres selection would be sufficient. You would want to be sure that you have a wide variety of options in order to appeal to the varying palettes of your guests. 6. The hors d'oeuvres can also provide you the opportunity to serve your guests something that represents your culture or is reminiscent of your childhood.

Photography Tips by Jessica Claire and Style Me Pretty
{www.jessicaclaire.net + www.stylemepretty.com}
1. If you plan to spend the majority of your wedding day taking posed photographs and family groupings, you should look for a photographer who shoots in a more traditional style. If you would prefer your wedding be captured in a more natural, less posed format, you should look for a photographer who specializes in and enjoys shooting that way.

Videography Tips by Joel Serrato and Style Me Pretty
{www.joelserrato.com + www.stylemepretty.com}
1. It’s best to book your cinematographer/ filmmaker/videographer 9-12 months in advance
2. When inquiring with a cinematographer/filmmaker/videographer remember to notify them of your wedding date to check their availability
3. Remember to ask if there are travel rates, which are separate from “packages” you may be booking
4. Be aware that “destination weddings” have higher costs, therefore; when hiring your cinematographer/filmmaker/videographer ask what those details entail
5. It’s great to describe your wedding details, settings, and location so that your cinematographer/filmmaker/videographer can connect with the feel of your wedding
6. When having an outdoor ceremony incorporate your cinematographer/filmmaker/videographer with the timing to achieve the best lighting situation
7. Identify the cinematographer/filmmaker/videographer’s style and approach to wedding documentation and do not expect him or her to have traits or products that others offer
8. Ask your cinematographer/filmmaker/videographer if they include sound and if it incurs additional costs
9. Know that a “film” cinematographer or filmmaker will also give you a final product on DVD even if it was documented on film
10. Communicate any important “shots” you or your family may be having of importance such as details, special speeches, actions etc. But give them creative freedom to do what they do best.

Cake Tips by Vanilla Bakeshop and Style Me Pretty
{www.vanillabakeshop.com + www.stylemepretty.com}
1. Taste comes first! Order the BEST tasting cake you have ever had in your life.
2. For a twist, go for a chic dessert bar with lots of assorted confections and a petite cake to cut!
3. To reduce cost, and create the illusion of a larger wedding cake, ask your cake designer if they can use some styrofoam cake tiers. 4. When getting married during hotter months, order your cake with a fondant exterior to keep the cake cooler.
5. Skip the big cake, and opt for a “cake trio” incorporating a pretty design in 3 similar ways on 3 different smaller cakes.

Gift and Favor Tips by Style Me Pretty
{www.stylemepretty.com}
1. It's a nice gesture to drop off a little goodie bag for your out of town guests. Filled with local treats, area maps and a wedding itinerary, this is the perfect way to welcome friends and family.
2. Wedding favors should reflect your personalities and/or your passions. If you are avid environmentalist, individual succulents make adorable favors. If you are coffee junkies, a bag of coffee beans in a petite burlap sack is absolutely perfect.
3. If you can't decide on a favor that will really leave your guests smiling, skip it. Guests won't notice when the favors aren't there but they will notice when they get a silly trinket.
4. In lieu of a favor, consider donating to a charity of your choice and leaving guests a handwritten note of thanks on their plates.
5. An edible favor is always a success. Homemade chocolate chip cookies with cold shot glasses of milk served to departing guests is a great way to end the evening.

1. It's a nice gesture to drop off a little goodie bag for your out of town guests. Filled with local treats, area maps and a wedding itinerary, this is the perfect way to welcome friends and family.
2. Wedding favors should reflect your personalities and/or your passions. If you are avid environmentalist, individual succulents make adorable favors. If you are coffee junkies, a bag of coffee beans in a petite burlap sack is absolutely perfect.

1. Remember that hair and makeup for the bride takes, on average, two hours. You should also allow an hour or so for each bridesmaid. If you have a large bridal party I suggest hiring multiple hair and makeup artists or heading to a salon to make sure you have a relaxed day and everyone is finished on time.
Ushers to seat late comers in isle seats rather than center seats to avoid distractions
