Forgetting something for a wedding is plainly one of the most costly mistakes you can make. This day, if fortunate, will only happen once in your life, and not only will making a mistake here automatically make you look incompetent in from of all the family and friends attending, but they could have real knock on effects towards how successful your day is. This sounds like fear mongering, but it’s not meant to be. It’s simply to make you aware that if you’re planning a wedding, or helping a friend plan theirs, you have a deep responsibility to get things right if you want to make the day something to remember.
Here is a list of the 3 things you certainly don’t want to forget on a wedding day. Print out this article or write these tips down yourself to ensure you don’t forget them when it comes to your planning.
Photographer
Forgetting the wedding photographer, or even simply going with a budget photographer, can leave you high and dry when it comes to profoundly remembering your wedding day. You want to have the best memories of your beautiful marriage union that you can possibly have, and so forgetting to pay the correct expense, or hiring an inexperienced incompetent photographer will mar that terribly.
It might feel tempting to hire a student photographer who has only done one wedding beforehand, but once they forget their storage capacity for their camera, you’ll wish you’ve have splashed out a little more for a professional service. Plus, with a professional service is more likely, with the right financial incentive, to send out two photographers, so you will be able to have two angles worth of memories for all of the proceedings. This is a positive no matter who you are, or what wedding you’ve decided you’d like.
DJ/Band
This is probably the least harmful person to forget during your wedding considerations, but hiring a poor one or forgetting to hire one is still going to leave a mark on your celebration. A DJ can provide your wedding celebrations with a buoyant charm, and get your guests dancing together.
A live brass band will also make your wedding something beautiful to behold, so be sure that you’re able to hire one well in advance and be sure of their availability before you expect them to turn up on the day.
Catering
If you’re planning a wedding feast, you’ll need someone to cater for you. Unless you’re planning to cook and host yourself on your wedding day, which is unlikely, you’ll need to hire the services of a professional catering firm to best satisfy your guests with a consummate meal that is worthy of the love you’re publicly showing your partner. What’s worse than forgetting to hire a professional catering firm though is neglecting to inform them of what you’d like to see on the menu. If you have certain requirements, you must let them know. If some of your wedding guests have particular allergies (highly likely) you must collate this information into the digestible form (pun intended,) and let the catering firm prepare for this well in advance.
If you take care of these wedding services and pay them correctly, they are sure to take care of you.
