You’re Engaged, What Next?

January 3, 2019

Now that you’re engaged and you’ve shared the awesome news with your family and friends, it’s time to start planning your big day! But before you make your first appointment for a cake tasting, there’s something that we want you to do!

Make a “general” wedding budget!

I say “general” wedding budget because we understand that you probably have no idea how much a wedding cost!  Brian and I had no idea what we should spend when we were planning our wedding years ago! Having an idea of what you can afford to spend on your wedding will make the entire process a lot easier! Once you have an idea of your wedding budget, then it’s time to have some fun!

When it comes to hiring wedding vendors, we believe that it’s important that you prioritize what is truly important to you! Brian and I may be a little bias as a wedding photographer and DJ team, but we believe that hiring an awesome wedding photographer and DJ is very important! A professional DJ plays a huge part in your wedding day! From making sure that you have all of the correct songs when you walk down the aisle to keeping the party fun and everyone on the dance floor! An amazing wedding photographer ensures that you look your best and have beautiful photographs to look back on for years to come!

You may also need the following vendors for your wedding!

  • Venue
  • Caterer
  • Cake
  • Florist
  • Makeup Artist
  • Hair Stylist
  • Planner/Coordinator
  • Videographer
  • Stationary
  • Calligraphy Artist
  • Photo Booth
  • Bartenders
  • Chair/Linen Rentals

The list can go on and on, but these are some of the more popular vendors that we work with on a regular basis!

We’re truly so excited as you begin the journey of planning your wedding! If you have additional questions, be sure to reach out to us at love@storyandrhythm.com!

Congratulations guys!
