Planning Your Wedding Reception in Palm Springs
Planning a wedding has to be among the most stressful things you'll ever do—especially when everybody has an opinion. Try to stay centered, and don't forget it's your special day. Here's how to get started.
Determine the Budget – You'll need to have a serious conversation with your partner to determine the budget. How much do you have in savings, and how much are you willing to spend? What about help from relatives? It can be a difficult conversation, but the sooner you have it, the sooner you can start working towards your goal.
Select the Venue – Your wedding day should be a day of celebration with close friends and family. As the foundation of your special day, the reception venue should reflect that. Choose a venue that resonates with you and your partner, and remember that this is where you'll create some of your most treasured memories. Take your time and browse Giggster's list of 87 awe-inspiring locations.
Consider Hiring a Caterer – A caterer will take care of food and beverages, and it's a good way to make sure you enjoy your special day without additional stress. That being said, make sure the menu is varied enough that all your attendees will have something to eat based on their dietary requirements and possible allergies.
Plan Your Event Early – Plan everything yourself or hire a wedding planner—either way, you'll need to start early. A wedding planner can lift a lot of the weight off your shoulders, but you'll need to decide if it's worth it for you.
Saving Money on a Wedding Reception in Palm Springs
You're done with the planning and are almost ready to roll. Now, it's time to maximize your investment and figure out what are unnecessary expenses and what are actually essential. Here are some tips for saving money when planning your wedding.
Decide on a date.
You've decided you want a Palm Springs wedding venue. What's next? Before deciding on a date, note that prices in the offseason are substantially lower. Even just booking a venue between Monday and Thursday can have an impact. The best season to book a venue in Palm Springs is summer when temperatures start rising and prices are at their lowest.
Factor in the catering.
Catering accounts for more than 30% of the total cost of the average wedding. Some of the top wedding venues listed at Giggster have a catering service, but it's still worth it to get multiple quotes. You can also consider a more limited menu and a select few drinks and cocktails instead of an open bar.
Minimize unnecessary expenses.
Wedding planners and expensive decor may sound appealing, but they represent a fairly high investment. If you're set on hiring a wedding planner, consider a partial-service wedding planner. As for the decor, you can make it more memorable by making it yourself; shop at a local thrift store or look up some amazing creative projects and let your imagination loose.
