Re: getting started!!!!!!!!!!!!

you should start looking around at photographers (and videographers if you want this too). They might be able to only do 1 event a day, so you should start early on that.

Other big items to do are flowers and DJ/band. This stuff will take up a lot of your budget so the earlier you start, the more you can shop around and price compare.

Also, start checking out dresses!

Re: getting started!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would do things in this order
1-photo/video
2-band/DJ
3- flowers

I had trouble with the band part because I waited too long and many booked up. Same with Photo.

Re: getting started!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would say music...my first band choice was already taken. there are lots of great photographers and DJ's its a tough decision but if you are going with a band do that first.

Re: getting started!!!!!!!!!!!!

def do phtographer, if you are on a tight budget check out motto photography he is very reasonable. Next I would look at dj's, the limos and flowers! Oh, and don't forget the dress!!!!! Good Luck!

Photographer should definately be next on your list. You'll be surprised how fast they book up. After that I would look into a DJ or a Band. Good luck.
