A wedding video tells a story that
pierces the surface of the event with
purity and definition. It should be
artistic. It should find meaning in
each moment and capture the natural

decide on the wedding you have always dreamed about.
Do you want a destination wedding, a formal wedding at
a hotel ballroom, or a casual event in a friend’s backyard?
What will the theme of your wedding be?
m First things first! Purchase a binder to hold all of
your wedding information. It may be something
as simple as a 3 ring binder with pockets and
business card holders to a wedding planner
organizer purchased from a bookstore.
m Reality check! Determine with your fiancé and
families what your budget is.
m Consider possible dates. It is a good idea to have a
couple of dates in mind to accommodate locations,
family, and the officiant.
m Hire a wedding consultant if you plan on using one.
A note about vendors: Make sure that you get
a detailed contract with every vendor you book.
Write down all the details and don’t rely on your
conversations to make sure agreed upon services
will be provided. Every contract should include the
dates, times, locations, delivery times, cancellation
policies, refund policies, prices including taxes and
tips, details of any payment plan, and any special
services that have been agreed upon.
m Book ceremony site.
m Book reception site. If you book a reception site
on a Friday night, early Saturday afternoon, Sunday
afternoon, or during the week you may be able to
get the venue at a lower rate. If this works out for
you, your friends and family don’t hesitate to ask the
