Nearby Destinations Tip From Joan Bratcher (Arbuckle Wedding Chapel)
A destination wedding doesn’t have to be a long, expensive trip that’s inconvenient for guests and family. Look outside the major metro areas and research options that may not be as well known, but have the atmosphere and features you’re wanting for your dream wedding. Don’t rule out more rustic areas, especially these days, when fabulous resorts and wedding venues can be found with lovely, natural surroundings and affordable accommodations. If family and friends are primarily from two major cities, begin your search in areas half-way between each

Unique Drinks Tip From Darian James (Hideout ) The non-alcoholic beverage is too often the "orphan" of an event. Those choosing not to imbibe, often find themselves with the less celebratory options of soft drinks, coffee and tea. For many occasions, alcoholic drinks are simply not appropriate, but that doesn’t mean a non-alcoholic beverage can’t be exciting. Research vendors who specialize in unique drinks displayed in a way that makes them a highlight of an event… special enough even for toasting. |

The Need to Know Tip From Paul Sorrentino (Boston Avenue Grille and Catering)Provide your caterer with as much detail as you have. Be honest about your budget and tell him or her what you’d like to have…even if you think it’s out of your price range. A creative caterer that’s willing to please enjoys the challenge of creating a similar approach that’s affordable on your budget. If you’ve seen something you like at an event, restaurant or even in a magazine, share the information with him or her. But, remember not to be overly restrictive. A good caterer works best in an atmosphere of trust and flexibility. |

Horse Smarts Tip From Clint Parker (Oklahoma Premier Carriage Company)If you’re considering hiring a horse-drawn carriage for your event, be sure you know exactly what you want and communicate the details well. What will be happening before and after the ride? How many people will be riding? What type of carriage would be appropriate for the occasion? How many carriages will you need? What happens if there’s bad weather? Don’t be shy about asking about the cleanliness, breed, sex, age and appearance of the horses…especially how long they’ve been trained and working. |
