Tips and advice on finding:

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS: Make sure you hire a photographer who specializes in wedding photography. Your photographer should be experienced in wedding procedures and familiar with your ceremony and reception sites.

FLORISTS & WEDDING FLOWERS: Your wedding flowers should complement the season, your gown, and your color scheme. Your wedding flowers should also complement your attendants' attire, and the style and formality of your wedding.

VIDEOGRAPHERS & VIDEO: Make sure you hire a videographer or video company that specializes in wedding videography. Your videographer or video company should be experienced in wedding procedures and familiar with your ceremony and reception sites.

WEDDING CAKES: Wedding cakes come in all shapes and sizes, but personalizing and making your wedding cake different from others is a strong motivation for brides these days. A traditional wedding cake is often round and white. One small break from the traditional wedding cake is to have a flavor other than white cake. If you prefer chocolate, go ahead and have a chocolate wedding cake.

WEDDING DISC JOCKEYS / DJ SERVICE: Top quality djs book up to a year or more in advance. Hire your dj early and ask your dj for references. A professional dj will emcee the reception, make announcements, and direct all highlights of the reception and establish the sequence and timing of events.

BEACH WEDDINGS: Dreaming of a wedding on the beach? Planning a beach wedding is very popular today. Many wedding couples who opt for a beach wedding ceremony still opt for an indoor reception. After your ceremony on the beach, carry your beach theme to your reception with seaside menus, beach style wedding favors and a seaside cake topper.
