10 Businesses You May Need If You"re Planning a Wedding
Congratulations on your engagement.
Now comes the stressful (but very exciting) part...
planning your wedding.
Here are 10 businesses you may need to find that could help the planning process go smoothly.
1.
The venue is one of, if not the, most important thing you'll be searching for.
It is, after all, where you'll be spending most of your day.
Unless you have a specific venue in mind, you'll need to decide on what part of the country you intend to get married, and then search for venues that have the look, feel and capacity you require.
2.
Of course, you'll also need to identify a church or registry office where you'll be able to marry.
Depending on whether you start with this step or make it your second point of call, you'll need to make sure you find somewhere that is nearby your venue.
It should also be somewhere that will add to the magic of your special day.
3.
Unless your venue can provide the food, you will need to locate a good quality caterer.
If someone you know can recommend one to contact, that may be the best option; otherwise you'll need to do some research to find reviews from previous customers.
When you do contact them, arrange a tasting session, so you can see if they can produce what you want.
4.
Florists will also be important to make sure your wedding venue looks as beautiful as you have imagined it.
It's a good idea to ask the florists you contact for photographs of previous weddings they've provided flowers for.
5.
For brides, one of the most important businesses you'll contact is the one you'll buy your dress from.
It's a good idea to have some examples of the types of things you like and try a few different bridal gown shops before choosing the one you want to get married in.
6.
A good quality tailor will be required to dress the groom and his groomsmen.
Recommendations are always a good way to choose which ones you visit, otherwise make a list using an online business directory of those in your area and ask for examples of previous suits they've provided for weddings.
7.
For the big day itself, you're going to need a photographer.
These photos will be treasured for the rest of your life, so make sure you find one with the experience and expertise to capture your day's special moments in all their glory.
8.
Additionally, many people like to have their weddings filmed as well as photographed.
This tends to be done by a relative or, for professional results, an experienced videographer.
There are many specialist wedding videographers to choose from, so ask to see a showreel before you book.
9.
Unless you can stay at the venue, you may need to source a hotel that's nearby.
You may be paying for several guest rooms, while also advising other guests that they can book there if they want to.
Make sure it's convenient for the venue and church and that they have a lovely suite for the two of you to stay in.
10.
You may also need to find a wedding car company to take the blushing bride to the church and then the both of you from the church to the venue.
