Unique Outside\nWedding Venues<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your wedding day – the\ndream you have dreamed since your first crush in Kindergarten \u2013 is now coming\nto fruition. You\u2019re getting married! You\u2019re buying magazines, pouring over\nPinterest and creating lists. You want the PERFECT day \u2013 in every way. Your\nwedding isn\u2019t going to be perfect \u2013 you know it won\u2019t \u2013 and it won\u2019t be your fianc\u00e9e\u2019s\nfault, your new Mother-in-Law\u2019s fault, the Wedding Planner\u2019s fault \u2013 it just cannot\nbe perfect. What you can do, is today, vow to control is your attitude and the\ndesire to look back \u2013 AFTER IT IS ALL OVER \u2013 with pleasure. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Now, that we have told you\nthe BIG secret \u2013 your attitude is everything in life \u2013 even on your wedding day\nand in the planning process, there are things that can help your day go more\nsmoothly. Most of them are pretty simple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being organized and having\nplans and lists and timelines really sounds unromantic, but having a plan and\nknowing when something HAS to be \u2018checked off,\u2019 really takes away the stress of\nthe time leading up to the wedding day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figure out a budget that you can live with spending \u2013 before you start shopping and getting wowed with every little detail of a $50,000 budget! Having YOUR wedding budget makes it easier to choose vendors and it can help determine how much to spend on your honeymoon, after the bigger things are budgeted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decide if you want to hire a wedding planner \u2013 this seems, for many, to be an unnecessary luxury. For others, it may be the ultimate necessity. Navigating flowers, attendants, attire, alcohol choices, attendant\u2019s gifts, toasts, and so on can present challenges when you have people attending from out-of-state or if you don\u2019t plan on taking time off from work until the wedding day. Consider how much time is required to both plan and execute your wedding and then add at least 25% more time! Be realistic. And be honest with yourself and your partner about how much you can handle (not just physically, but mentally, too). If choosing napkin colors and buying gifts for the out-of-town guests and candles for the tables is going to put you over the edge, find someone who can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decide, as quickly as possible, the things that have to be\ndecided up front: time of day, venue, colors, buffet or full-service food,\nmusic, etc. etc. Narrow down your big choices, quickly, before you start\nshopping. In other words: DJ or Band? Buffet or Sit-Down? Blue and Orange or\nBlue and Light Blue? Once the bigger choices are narrowed, then you can choose\ninvitations, choose the attendant\u2019s dresses and go listen to bands with your\nwedding party \u2013 all the lists just become more fun! Remember, planning a\nwedding should be a ton of fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll likely need a One-Day Alcohol license, or a Banquet license and you can apply for it, here<\/a>. Why? Because if you\u2019re hosting your own wedding (think beach, field or someone\u2019s backyard or clubhouse), make sure you understand the liquor licensing and service laws – you will likely have to purchase a liquor license (purchase license, here<\/a>) and your servers may need to have alcohol service training (server training can be found here<\/a>) or certification to legally pour out the drinks at your reception. Bottom line: if you are planning on serving alcohol, at all, even a one-pour toast, make sure to get the alcohol license. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABC Consulting wants to you have a BLAST on your wedding day and\nPrior Planning Prevents\u2026..remember it is all about Attitude \u2013 especially on\nyour wedding day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
