Vehicles to match your style... Service beyond your expectations { the planner } Five-Star Film “Do your research. Many couples opt for a less expensive videographer only to receive far less quality and quantity of their product. Once your wedding has passed, you don’t get a second chance to hire a better fit company. I strongly suggest looking into various companies, seeing how much experience they have, and getting an idea of the most inexpensive and most expensive. You may find that by expanding your video budget just a little more, you will be getting your money’s worth for an exceptional product.” – Mike Picard of Mike Picard Motion Pictures, mikepicard.com [email protected] 888.725.7871 « ROCKSTARLIMO.NET « Photos: Eloquent Images Photography, LLC, La Brisa Photography Manifest your dream design.

My goal is to hold a mirror up to clients and reflect them and their story back to their wedding guests. The best thing you can hear: ‘That wedding was so you — it couldn’t have been anyone else’s wedding.’ To that point, couples are really putting an emphasis on the guest experience. People want to offer a day (or weekend) that their guests will not forget. A wedding is a rollercoaster of emotions, so give your guests ‘all the feels.’” – Michael Marcoux of Michael Marcoux Events, facebook.com/michaelmarcouxevents Honeymooning on a Budget “I always caution my couples not to blow the whole thing on the flights/hotel. You need to make sure to leave room in the budget for the things you want to see and do (and eat and drink) when you’re there. At the end of the day, what you’re going to remember are the experiences, so don’t short-change yourself on those.” – Ann Petronio of Annie’s Escapes, anniesescapes.com
