Making Central Coast Weddings Easy
Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, but creating a successful event can be overwhelming. Knowing where to begin can be confusing. Most brides will definitelyconsider the ideal Central Coast wedding venue and dream wedding dress, but there are severalmatters that need to be considered before this.
Be sure that your wedding planning process runs smoothly, on time and on budget with the quick wedding checklist below.
Central Coast Weddings Checklist
1. The Guest List - Make a list of all the peopleyou would like to invite to your special day. Then review it and decide if it is an acceptable number. Keep in mind that the larger your guest list gets, the larger Central Coast wedding venues you will need.
2. The Wedding Party - Determine who the best man, maid of honor, bridesmaids and ushers will be and invite them.
3. The Budget - Wedding budgets can be a delicatesubject but must be determined to lay down your limits. If you're handling your wedding on your own, make a thorough list of every item that will cost you and prioritize them. If you have a wedding planner, they will do this for you and make sure you stay within budget!
4. The Date - The most important things to consider are: season and weather, bridal party availability, religious limitations, ideal honeymoon location, day of the week and wedding venue size and availability.
5. Wedding Insurance - Many people forget to consider the benefit of wedding insurance. The sooner you can get coverage the better, as your policy can cover eventualities such as losing your wedding rings, damage to your bridal gown and wedding venue double bookings.
6. The Wedding Planner - A professional wedding planner can handle full management of your wedding, certain aspects or just guide you through a complete plan of action and provide you with advice. CCWP wedding planners have many Central Coast wedding contacts and can commonly negotiate better rates than if you go direct.
7. The Service - The two most important things to think about in regards to your service are whether or not your service will be civil or religious and whether or not you'd like your ceremony and reception held in the same wedding venue or in multiple locations. Some Central Coast wedding venues have designated areas for receptions while others do not.
8. The Venue - If you want to have your wedding service and reception in one place, look for Central Coast wedding venues that can make room for this. Things to consider: cost, capacities, number of rooms, space for dancing, licenses and time restrictions. For separate venues, consider the distance between the two and transportation factors.
9. The Suppliers - Work out if the venue will provide the suppliers - florists, caterers and decorations. This is important if you have a local florist or caterer you wish to use. Here are some CCWP members located in San Luis Obispo:
