Must I really wait 522 days to see all of my ideas come to life? I wonder how many more dresses I'll buy (and hopefully sell). I wonder how many times I'll change my colors. More importantly, I wonder how much money I'll be able to save!
Looking to save on the big ticket items by locking in 2010 rates, I was luckily able to book the following:
1) Venue: From the previous post, we had a very hard time deciding. In the end, my upfront research definitely paid off because the venue we picked raised their rates less than a week after our appointment. (Picture from the open house below!)
2) DJ: A highlight of my sister's wedding was the music and party atmosphere. One of the reasons for this (other than all the fun guests) was their DJ. To top it off, they offer a very reasonable rate!
3) Transportation: Although this isn't really something that people book THIS early, the venue that we selected partners with a trolley company and quoted me what seemed to be a good rate for an all-day trolley service for the bridal party and for guests to be picked up from the hotel to the reception. So I figured...why not? I might as well book them now before prices go up in 2011 and again in 2012!
4) Church: This doesn't really fall into the category of raising rates but this was the first thing that I made sure to research before I did anything else because I was not a parishioner in any of the Philadelphia churches. But through some research, I now feel better knowing that there are options for us in Philly. Pending a meeting with their priest, I hope to officially tie the knot and walk down the aisle at St. Rita of Cascia.
