Cost of Undoing and Redoing

Cost of Undoing and Redoing

I was reading Adrienne Zoble's Marketing Newsletter and one of her comments inspired me to write this blog.

Planning a wedding can be very exciting and stressful. Making the right decisions with vendor selections can be very confusing. It’s often difficult to find the right photographer, caterer, venue, officiate, etc. at a reasonable price that won’t later make you regret your decision. There are no do-overs when it comes to a wedding!!!

I know with the way the economy is many brides are trying to save money by doing so much of the wedding themselves. In some cases that is ok, but on the most part after their wedding day has come and gone they look back and wish they could undo many of the decisions they made.

When planning your wedding take your time and search out professionals in each category of your planning such as; caters, photographers, venues, wedding planner, florist, ect. Don’t only rely on yourself with your wedding planning. The vendors are pros in their category and can and will pass along many ideas and savings. I would suggest to first start with a venue. Ask them for a list of preferred vendors they feel will help you make educated and wise decisions.

I have learned in owning a venue and owning my own business for many years that I can’t do everything by myself. When I have, I often find myself redoing, costing me more money and time then planned.

In some cases you can redo some things and the only thing it did was cost you money but concerning your wedding there truly is no undoing and redoing. Once the date comes and goes there is no redoing. So we can’t say it enough…. take your time and visit with many vendors and I’m sure you will make the right decision for your prefect romantic day.
