Choosing A Wedding Venue
Next on your agenda is your wedding venues and which one you will choose. There are two parts to that with the first being to decide where you are going to get married. In a church, at a local park, in your own garden or at a beach. Then you need to decide where to hold your wedding reception.
It is so important to really think about both of these venues and plan carefully to ensure that your special day turns out in the way you want it. Your wedding reception is where family and friends gather after you have married to celebrate via food, drink, dancing and music. This place has to have enough room to comfortably accommodate everyone. After all, this is supposed to be a social, enjoyable, fun atmosphere and that can’t happen if everyone is squeezed tightly into a small space or can’t get into the venue, right? Therefore, you have several factors to think about ahead of time. You must consider how many guests you will be hosting. Obviously, if you have a very large party coming to your reception all small and most medium-sized locations will automatically be ruled out. Of course, you don’t want to rent out a space that is so large your small party doesn’t feel the fun atmosphere.The size of the venue must be appropriate to the number of guests you will be inviting. Another factor to take into consideration is how much you have in your budget. You want to make your wedding day memorable with the perfect setting. But you certainly don’t want to go over budget and put an undue and unnecessary strain on your new relationship right from the beginning. If there is a venue that really catches your eye, but is out of your price range and budget, ask the venue whether they offer special discounting for offseason weddings. Some venues are happy to offer a discount in return for you committing to having your wedding there during their offseason. Be sure when you are negotiating the price for having your wedding at a venue that you are certain on what you are getting. Venues will vary on what they offer, such as tables, chairs, fully-functioning bar, etc. Some venues include that in their stated prices, while others charge extra, so know what you’re getting before you commit. Be sure to think of your guests when you are choosing your wedding venue. After all, you don’t want them to have to walk a mile to use a restroom if you are having an outdoor wedding. Or make it difficult for them to get from their vehicle to the place where you’ll make your vows. Also, if small children will be there, consider whether there is ample room in case their parents need to take them elsewhere for a while to calm them down. As you can see, choosing the right wedding venue can be quite challenging, as there are many factors you must consider, both for the two of you and for your guests. You certainly don’t want to have a venue that is too small or too large for your expected number of guests. While you want your wedding day to be memorable, that doesn’t mean you have to overspend to make that happen. Keep the information above in mind as you plan your wedding day, and chances are, it will be the very special day you’ve always dreamt it would be. We would love to hear your thoughts.

7 Steps To Planning YOUR Dream Wedding
With over 30 years as a Toronto Wedding DJ and MC, I have seen many types of weddings. I’ve been part of simple backyard weddings as well as some of the most elaborate upscale weddings. There is one major similarity in all successful weddings. They all had the proper planning! Let’s look at some ways that you can successfully plan YOUR Dream Wedding.
1.Have A Checklist Have a checklist and keep it current. This is by far one of the most important things in my mind but just keeping the list isn’t enough . Have ONE version and use it as your plan for your wedding. Once things are ready to go you will know it because of your checklist. 2.Manage Your Time Correctly Pretty much 75% -80% of weddings fall behind the original timeline. Being realistic about the length of things like toasts is essential. Schedule a realistic time for each activity or event. When you do that you can have proper transitions and not have guest wondering what’s going to happen next. 3.Family Accomodations Of course your family will be invited to the wedding but make sure to have plans for family that are travelling. Travelling arrangements and accommodations will be left in your court. Contact hotels near your reception venue. 4.Be Selective In Your Battles Seriously ! We all want everything to be perfect for your wedding but sometimes being at peace is more important than the little things. Picking your spots will make everything much more manageable. 5.Ask Questions I say this at every single consultation. Ask questions with every single vendor you meet with. That is the best way to know exactly who you want for your big day. 6.Hire Professionals A professional vendor can make the difference between the wedding that you have always dreamt of and a fiasco. Their are full and part time professional vendors in every field. Do your homework. We all want to save money but that shouldn’t be at the expense of your wedding. If something were to go wrong a professional will have the tools , experience and know how to deal with the issue. 7.Enjoy Your Wedding Too many times couples tend to oversee every aspect of their wedding. You have done the planning NOW trust your vendors to execute those plans. If you aren’t comfortable stepping back then you may not have hired the right vendors. This list is not the be all and end all to putting together your dream wedding but adding these steps into the mix will certainly start you off on the right track .

How To Plan YOUR Dream Wedding
Planning a wedding and keeping your sanity is not an easy task. Everyone knows that planning a wedding can be an extremely stressful and trying time, especially as the big day approaches.
One of the most important details of the wedding is the actual wedding date. This is usually the detail that is taken care of first. Factors in choosing a date include the availability of the venue where the wedding will take place and availability of friends and family on the assigned date. It is also advisable to set a budget before you start to make plans. This way you're able to organize the details according to your budget. Some venues where weddings are held offer discounts on days when traditionally, weddings are not held. Also, the time the wedding takes place also becomes a factor in the expense. For example, mornings and afternoon receptions are usually cheaper than receptions held in the evening. Venues can offer discounts depending on the time of year. Just after the holidays could be a good time to hold a wedding if you are considering the cost. This time is not considered a 'peak time', therefore the price tends to be less expensive. It is important to talk to your fiancée about the size of your wedding. Your dream wedding might not be your fiancées. So it ís necessary for you to discuss details such as the location of the venue/reception, the number of people who get invited to the wedding/reception, and the choice of entertainment. It is important to reach an agreement on the guest list. If you want to keep the wedding an intimate affair, only family and/or friends would be invited. If you wanted to have the wedding of the century, friends and family, long lost relatives, the whole neighbourhood and high school buddies could be invited. When making the guest list, consider the space capacity of your chosen venue. It ís a good idea to hire a professional to capture this momentous occasion. Sure, your friends can take good pictures and some of them may own a camcorder. But for this special occasion, you would want something special, lasting, and visually presentable. This way you could also share them with your friends and family. Don't forget the cake! It's a good idea to have a tasting first, before settling on a cake. Invite your family and friends for the cake tasting. This way, this task becomes fun for everyone! Order wedding invitations. If you want to get creative, you can always print your own. This way, you can customize them, and add a more personal touch to the invitation. Don't forget to start looking for a wedding gown months before the wedding so the bride has plenty of time to make a selection. Also, you should make arrangements to rent or buy a tuxedo or suit preferably in advance in case there is trouble with the fitting. Couples who don't have enough time on their hands or just find the preparations that go into planning a wedding too overwhelming can always just hire a wedding planner. This way, everything gets organized and coordinated for them. But if you decide to go the wedding planner route, don't forget to add this cost into your budget. I would love to hear your thoughts.

Your Wedding Theme
Whether it’s a traditional, formal or off-the-beaten-track wedding, you’re putting the whole event together yourself by planning its every phase. These days, with so much available on the Internet, it’s easy! All you need is some time and a clear idea of the feeling you want to get across.
Start with a theme and you’ll have a coherent image you can use throughout the entire wedding. You may be surprised, in fact, how potent just a word or concept can be, once applied as your marriage theme. Love angels, for example? What could be more perfect than finding ways to incorporate angels in every phase of your wedding? From the flowers to the guest favours to the vows, you can find a way to carry out the theme through the entire event. Is it to be a casual wedding of two Renaissance types? The Renaissance theme is compatible with the wedding ritual, and makes for an unforgettable event. Getting married on February the fourteenth? Hearts and flowers are perhaps the most traditional and best beloved of all wedding themes! When you’re planning your wedding, save time to choose the music with care. Get together with whoever is providing the music and talk about the right pieces for the two of you. There is nothing that sets the tone like music, and your wedding music will live in your memories for the rest of your lives. The rings, the vows, the wardrobe all the choices you must make to create an intimately personal expression of your love, are made so much easier by following a theme. But the idea behind it all is what counts. You can choose one word to describe the spirit you wish to be your wedding, as if the coming together of two hearts creates a separate entity with one quality. Is it joy? Is it contentment? Is it a giddy, bubbly, mirthful adoration? Pick a word or a phrase and keep it in mind. It’ll tie everything together and make the experience more perfect. And your wedding theme can become a foundation throughout your marriage. For your wedding. For each other. For your life. Please feel free to comment below.

Most of us look forward to getting married for almost the whole of our lives preceding the event and therefore have almost every specific detail, starting from the clothes to the flowers to the cutlery the music and even the menu etched out in our minds. Unfortunately, when the time comes to finally turn these dreams to reality, practicality checks in, knocks us on our heads and reminds us of exactly how many dollars we have in the bank account!
Unlike what it used to be in the good old days, the modern day parents have learnt to ease their way out of bearing the financial burden of their children’s wedding. The logic used in this case is quite infallible really, most of us wait to tie the knot long enough to bear children, teach them how to walk and start helping them with their math homework. So, since we don’t do our share therefore the potential grandparents don’t do theirs. So finally when it comes to our wedding we are left out in the cold, joining bits and pieces of our earnings to build up the most important day of our lives. For all of us who are bogged down by this sudden astounding realization, or the ones who will get similarly bogged down in a not so distant future date, here is a list of the average costs that you will have to incur in order to get married. Once you have a partner, which tends to be the most expensive of the purchases, you are sure to save up enough to have a glorious wedding ceremony. First up, flowers. Believe it or not, at any average wedding ceremony flowers can cost anything around or even above $1000! Yes yes I know what you are thinking, you are probably itching to remind me how they finally add to the grandeur and emotion of the whole ceremony, but cap your outburst because ultimately this will probably be the one area you can cut your expenditure down in. If your budget is tight try something creative, scan issues of wedding magazines or the net for ideas. Photography/Videography also takes up a large amount of your budget. Based on the kind of mementos you would want to keep from your wedding day you can end up spending anywhere between $1500- $3500. Even though you probably think it’s a good idea it is best to not try and cut down your costs here, cause these will after all be one of the only things you will have to really re-live your wedding at a later date, and if saving a few dollars means you will end up looking like a fat hag or be ill-lit in your own wedding photographs then there is no point being a complete Scrooge about it. Now if you are having a wedding ceremony, you will have to send out those few essential invitations, announcements and then the thank you notes, so there is no getting around the few hundred dollars it will set you back by, but you might try. Coax a friend with neat handwriting to take this load of your shoulders, get him/her to write your invitations for you, and keep it simple, so as to trim down the overall costs. Finally of course there is the music. No wedding is complete without good music setting the right mood for the celebrations. Set apart about $1500 - $2500 to fulfill your musical requirements. Further costs include the price for the site of the ceremony. This you may safely estimate at around $500. of course you will also have to arrange for means to get to the site itself, this should cost around $650, all together. If you want to show your appreciation for the attendants with a little token of love, set apart another 400 bucks. The rehearsal dinner, which you must have, will be around $1000, the reception anywhere between $5000-$15000. Expect your super special wedding dress to cost at least 1000 bucks and even if you settle for a rented tuxedo there is no getting away from the neat $1000 you will have to flash out for it. So all in all, everything put together, added and multiplied, you have a whopping $35,000 bill tagged clean with your plan to get married. If marriages are really made in heaven then the Gods sure have expensive taste! However this isn’t by any means the final word in planning your wedding cheap, there are of course thousands of other ways of cutting your expenditure as per your personal means and fancies, this is just one of the very many ways of going about it. Figure out what suits you, and have a great wedding. We would love to hear your thoughts. Comment below and follow us www.djxtc.net Facebook Twitter Pinterest Instagram
Twice during the past month I have had the pleasure of being part of a wedding at Le Treport Wedding & Convention Centre and both were superb in their own unique way.The first wedding that I was a part of was a two tiered event. The stunning chapel where the wedding ceremony took place was a vision of dazzling loveliness.Thereception room right next door was the perfect size to compliment the number of guest for that night .
The second wedding that I was part of was in a larger room but again the staff and management were on top of every single detail of the evening. Working at this venue made my jobs of dj, mc and planner so much easier Being in the hospitality industry for the same 30 years that I have Le Treport Wedding & Convention Centre stands as a symbol of quality and excellence. All in all the stunning decor, the excellent staff and fantastic food combine to elevate Le Treport Wedding & Convention Centre to one of my new favourite venues. www.djxtc.net Facebook Twitter Pinterest Instagram

The bride and groom will have literally thousands of potential invitations to choose from. There are retailers everywhere and each offers different options. One of the most unique options however, is to purchase blank invitations. This offers the bride and groom many benefits that the preprinted invitations do not. Blank wedding invitations are perfect for the bride and groom that have a tight budget. These invitations will be much less expensive than those that are preprinted. The bride and groom can then shop around and find the least expensive place to have the invitations printed or they may choose to print the wedding invitations on their own printer. These blank invitations can be printed in either an inkjet or laser printer, which offers the bride and groom endless possibilities while maintaining their budget. Another benefit to purchasing blank wedding invitations is time.

Once they have finalized the wording, they can have the invitations printed. In addition, the bride and groom may choose to personalize their wedding invitations to suit different guests. Every invitation does not need to be the same. This allows the bride and groom to be truly creative with their wedding invitations. The designs of blank invitations are just as diverse as those that are preprinted. This is perfect for the bride and groom who are using their invitations to set the tone of their wedding. An elegant invitation conveys to guests that the event will be formal.

Spring Wedding Favours Spring is a fabulous time of year for weddings. Many couples choose to have a wedding in the springtime because it is such a wonderful time of year when the plants start to flourish after a dormant winter. With the combination of a variety of flowers in bloom and the temperate weather, many couples feel as though spring is the ideal time for a wedding. These couples are also likely to want to give there guests wedding favours which are closely associated to the spring season. This article will offer a few ideas for wedding favours which would be appropriate for weddings in the springtime. Flowers are one of the most obvious choices for wedding favours for a spring wedding. Spring is one of the best times of year for fresh flowers. There are a wide variety of bright and fragrant flowers which are available in the spring. Couples who get married at this time of year may have trouble choosing flowers for centrepieces and bouquets because there are so many options available to them. Because flowers are so plentiful this time of year, giving flowers as wedding favours is also a very common practice at spring weddings. The couple may choose to give fresh flowers because they are so bright and fragrant or artificial flowers because they will serve as a lasting memento of the wedding for the guests. With either option the couple may choose to give either a single flower or a bouquet of flowers tied with a ribbon matching the other colours used at the wedding. Knick knacks such as ceramic umbrellas or ceramic rain boots can also be very cute wedding favours for a springtime wedding. These favours can also often be personalized to include the name of the bride and the groom as well as the wedding date. By personalizing the favour the couple makes the gift more appropriate for the wedding but by keeping the favour related to the season the couple makes the favour a really fun gift for the guests. Real umbrellas can also be used as favours for a springtime wedding. In many locations, spring is typically a rainy time of year. A favour of umbrellas is a really practical idea because the guests are likely to be able to use the favour for years to come. One way to personalize this type of favour is to include a small tag on the handle with the name of the bride and the groom as well as the wedding date. The umbrellas can also be made more appropriate for the season by seeking out umbrellas in bright pastel colours. A final idea for springtime wedding favours is simply candy. There are candies available in a variety of vibrant colours. While chocolate bars with personalize wrappers may be popular wedding favours year round, couples having a spring wedding may wish to select more colourful candies such as jelly beans or hard candies which come in a variety of colours. These candies can be distributed in see through containers such as votive candle holders or clear bags so the colours will be prominently displayed at the place settings. This type of wedding favour is not only a great deal of fun but it also relates very well to the season of the wedding and it is a favour which is likely to be greatly appreciated by the guests. While it is not a favour which will serve as a lasting memento of the wedding, it is a favour your guests will enjoy while they are eating the favour. www.djxtc.net Facebook Twitter Pinterest Instagram

Wedding Reception Seating
Seating during your wedding reception is more important than it seems. You want your guests to feel comfortable and, for that, seating is critical. You can shape how much fun everyone has, since you can choose the best seating positions for your guests. To begin your wedding reception seating plan, you will first need to know how many tables you will set up at your wedding reception, as well as how many chairs will be at each table. To find this out, contact your wedding reception facility and make sure to also ask them for a chart of where the tables will be at your wedding reception. Although your seating chart should be prepared early, you shouldn’t finalize it until about two weeks prior to the date of your wedding reception. Place card holders are not only attractive decorations, but they provide a great way to help your wedding guests with the seating. Your guests should be able to quickly find their seat. Each card should have the guest’s or couple’s names. Seat people with similar interests at the same table. Think of a unique and fun way to identify each table. Seat wedding guest of similar ages together. Seat family members who don't see each other often to help them catch up on the latest family matters. You should only seat family members together, if they like each other! Seat an even number of guests at each table. Seat your wedding reception guests who enjoy dancing close to the dance floor. To avoid possible conflicts, divorced parents should have their own tables. Seat them separately with their respective family members. Keep small children next to their parents unless there is a designated children's room or table with a caregiver. Don’t worry about a seating chart for a cocktails only the wedding reception. If it is a very small party, you can skip the seating chart altogether. For a formal dinner reception, a seating chart is essential. Don’t wait until the last minute to decide who should sit at which table. As you can see, proper seating is hard work, and it requires careful planning.

Walking Down The Aisle Another dilemma that often comes up when planning a wedding is who will walk who down the aisle. Although traditionally it is the father that does this, the plethora of step-families has made it a more difficult decision. This is especially true when the step parents have been in the children’s lives for a long time. Breaking tradition A bride that has both a step father and a biological father may opt still to have her biological father walk her down the aisle. This can be a way to show her family bond as well as stick with tradition. In the case of a bride that hasn’t been close to her father, she may opt to have her step father walk her down the aisle. This is a newly emerging sight at weddings, and quite touching. Of course, if the bride loves both of the men and wants to include them, there’s nothing wrong with having both walk her down the aisle. It honours her relationship with both men and lets them have the chance to hold her arm. This also holds true for the groom. He can choose to escort both a step mother and his biological mother down the aisle at the beginning is she should choose to. Or the best man can do so, as is tradition. If the father has passed on, the bride may opt to have an older brother or an uncle walk her down the aisle. Likewise, if the mother of the groom has passed, then a sister or an aunt may want to walk with him. Dealing with difficulties While this all seems like a loving and simple solution to include everyone in the wedding, some parents may still have issues with their ex-spouses. And this can lead to bitter feelings about your choice in who walks who down the aisle. Should you fight for what you want? That’s entirely up to you. If walking with both fathers makes you happy, then you should do that even if the opposite partners are not pleased for whatever reason. If you feel that it may cause more trouble than it is worth, then you may opt to stick with tradition. Just be sure to include your step parent in some other part of the wedding so they don’t feel left out because of biological status. In the end, remember that it’s your day and your decision.

Hashtags For Your Wedding

The idea of a hashtag is something that more and more couples are using . It is an excellent way to to keep all the photos and other posts in an easy to find format .
When creating your hashtag you definitely want to choose something that is unique but not too unique. You might be the only Jack and Jill that you know but understand that the world wide web is world wide and forever. Instead of #jackjill you might want to add the married last name or even the date or year. #jackjilljonesjune2015 is something that is specific without being too obscure. We see all the time really long hashtags but in this case it might be something to avoid. Imagine your friends posting a picture they just took and taking five minutes to type in your hashtag. Chances are they will give up after the first two posts. Make sure that the hashtag you choose actually works . Keep it to simple letters and number combinations. Adding spaces, punctuation or symbols a no-no for hashtags. Even if you believe that you have a unique hashtag that no one else will ever think of there is a good chance someone all ready has. Try your hashtag out on social media prior to sharing it. That way you can alter it if is already too popular Once you have the hashtag that works then spread the word.

Paying For Your Wedding Many couples are opting to pay for their weddings themselves. Some couples decide to pay for their own weddings because they have not other choice, some do so as a matter of choice. The best reason to pay for your own wedding is because you do not want to compromise on how, when and where you get married and you are ready to pay for it all on your own. The average cost of a wedding in the North America is over $25,000, so financing your wedding requires a serious financial commitment. The sooner you start planning and saving for your wedding, the more time you have to come up with the necessary funds. The average time between the engagement and the wedding day is 12 to 18 months. Such time frame gives you an opportunity to plan and save for your wedding. The most important task you have is to determine the total amount you wish to spend on your wedding. Then, divide the amount by the number of months to determine how much money you need to put aside each month to meet your goal. If you estimate that your wedding will cost $25,000, and you have two years until your wedding, you need to save about $1042.00 per month. Realistically, not everyone can put aside a thousand dollars each month. If you are unable to save enough to cover all the costs, you may need to start cutting costs until you come up with a figure that you can meet. Aside from cost cutting, you can do a lot by saving one everything you do. You can save by taking your lunch instead of going out, spend less on clothes and entertainment. You could also, take on a part time job to help you with your budget. You have many options. Opening a separate savings account for your wedding may help enforce the need to save. Even if you start with a modest amount a special wedding savings account should help you make the right spending and saving decisions. You can find ways to save money by learning as much as you can about the products and services you need for your big day. The more educated you become about prices, the more you can bargain with vendors to make sure you get the best possible deals in town. We would love to hear your thoughts. www.djxtc.net Facebook Twitter Pinterest Instagram Your wedding day is one of the most memorable days of your life, and planning it often comes with financial considerations. Many couples choose a budget wedding to save money, but remember—budget-friendly doesn’t mean cheap! With smart planning, you can have a stunning celebration without sacrificing quality. Here are four key areas to focus on when planning your budget wedding to ensure it’s both cost-effective and unforgettable.  1. Wedding Photography and Videography
Capturing your wedding moments professionally is non-negotiable. While the cost of a wedding photographer can range from $1,000 to $3,000, relying on a friend or relative isn’t the solution. Wedding photos and videos are priceless keepsakes that allow you to relive your big day for years to come. Budget Tip: Reach out to local photography clubs or hobbyist photographers who might offer competitive rates. Book them for a pre-wedding session or engagement shoot first to ensure their style meets your expectations. 2. Wedding Venue Choosing the right venue sets the tone for your celebration. While hosting your wedding at home may save money, it’s essential to consider your guests' comfort. A cramped space can cause guests to leave early, cutting the fun short. Budget Tip: Look for venues that offer discounts for off-season or weekday weddings. Select a location that complements your wedding theme, ensuring it’s memorable without breaking the bank. 3. Flowers Wedding flowers can be surprisingly expensive, and it’s easy to overspend if you’re not careful. Some vendors may use “less fresh” blooms on your wedding day, so choose your florist wisely. Budget Tip: Opt for flowers that are in season to reduce costs. Alternatively, consider a garden wedding where the natural surroundings provide a beautiful backdrop without the need for extra floral arrangements. 4. DJ and Entertainment The two most common wedding complaints? Bad food and poor entertainment. Don’t let subpar entertainment ruin your day. Hiring a professional DJ or entertainer is crucial for creating an enjoyable and lively atmosphere. Budget Tip: Experienced part-time DJs and entertainers can deliver the same high-quality service as full-time professionals at a more affordable rate. Do your research to find someone who fits your vision and budget. Plan Your Dream Budget Wedding With proper planning, you can save up to 50% on your wedding costs without compromising on quality. The key is to focus on aspects that enhance the experience for you and your guests, ensuring your special day is as unforgettable as it is budget-friendly.
