As a bride to be, planning your wedding is your time to be selfish, and deservedly-so! The spotlight is on you, and everything has to be perfect, which means meticulous planning. We’ve planned and catered hundreds of weddings, and our goal is always the same—provide an unforgettable day that is exactly as the bride pictured it.
Randy Peters encourages you to be selfish! Weddings are a competitive business, so there’s no reason why you can’t get exactly what you want for the price you can afford. We recommend calling as many event planners, photographers and caterers as you can. We get calls every day from people scoping out event planning or catering, and it usually starts the same way—how much?
It’s a tough one to answer, mostly because we don’t know you and your vision for your perfect day. We find that if a bride to be has a vision, it’s easier for us to plan around that with all costs considered.
Before you start looking for a venue, catering, music or photography, you should have some kind of idea of what you vision is. So again, we encourage you to be selfish in developing your vision. Here are some wonderful websites that will assist you in your journey.
