PRO TIP:
“ Prioritize choosing certain vendors early! We recommend starting with your venue, followed by your caterer and photographer. Vendor choices can make or break your day. Research available options in your area and prioritize booking early based on what’ s important to you.”

VARIETY VS. BUDGET
“ Keep the menu focused— a few well-chosen dishes executed perfectly will always impress more than an overloaded buffet. Using seasonal ingredients helps stretch the budget while keeping everything delicious and fresh. And when in doubt, let your caterer help design a menu that fits both your vision and budget.”
