Planning Your Dream Wedding Reception – Part I

Step 1 – Choose a Date

Choosing a date for your wedding reception is the first and most important part of planning your dream wedding reception. It’s recommend that you decide upon a date, well before shopping for locations. Most wedding reception venues are booked up to two years in advance, so it’s worth setting a date and then finding a venue that has an opening. Everyone you speak to regarding your wedding will want to know the date of the wedding reception, from the wedding cake maker to the lady who makes the bridal dress. Be careful when choosing your wedding reception date, as different dates can cause the cost of your wedding to increase. For example, picking a wedding reception date that resides on a weekday will be cheaper than on the weekend. To find out available dates, please contact La Luna Lounge.

Step 2 – Create a Budget

Once you have locked in a wedding reception date it’s time to begin creating a budget for your wedding. The budget will determine what type of wedding reception you can afford. There is no perfect budget for a wedding reception, so have a discussion with your partner and decide whether you want an intimate wedding reception with a few guests or an extravagant wedding reception with all your friends and family.
