Music can make or break a wedding celebration. It's the heart and soul of a reception and can send your guests home with happy feet - or pained grimaces! The fact that you want to hire a talented band or fleet-fingered DJ is a given. Finding one is a matter of polling friends, surfing online, shopping around with fine-tuned ears, and making a move quickly -- top talent can get booked up to a year in advance. What type of entertainment suits your personal taste, budget, space allowances, guest demographics, and killer dance moves best? Keep an open mind, and consider these issues to start your search.
Vibe
The type of music you choose can set the tone of your wedding ans solidify a theme. And remember, it's the thing people most often remember. Think about what musical genre best reflects your personalities and inspires the ambience you want to create: Groovy funk or subdued string quartet? Swanky swing or kick-off-your-shoes-and-sweat zydeco? The way the music is delivered - by live band or DJ -- also affects the ambience. The type of music you choose may dictate the choice too -- big band sounds are generally best live, for example.
Variety
Are you a little bit country, while he's a little bit rock and roll? Regardless of weather you choose a band or DJ, be sure they play slow and fast songs, and old and new tunes to encourage different sets of guests to hit the dance floor.
Budget
In the price war, DJs generally cost less, and prices vary depending on equipment requests and whether it's a weekday or a weekend. A 12-piece band, for example, will generally be more expensive than a DJ, since there are more people to pay. (There are always exceptions; celebrity DJs can be just as expensive as live bands.) Band prices vary by the number of musicians, the time you want them to play for, day of the week, and what time of year it is.
Space
Don't get your heart set on a 8-piece salsa band before you check whether the reception site has any restrictions on the number of musicians and pieces fo equipment you may bring in, and whether there are any electrical power supply or noise limitations. For example, a landmark reception site may not allow you to use large speakers. Ask these questions before you start scouting bands.
Band
Pros: Live music is, well, live. You and your guests will experiance the pleasure of a performance. Anything can happen to raise the excitement level, from an infectious horn-section interlude to a moving solo.
Cons: Bands can be more expensive than DJs. Also, no matter how great the band, they can't have the repertoire of a standard DJ, who can keep a huge variety of music on hand.
DJ
Pros: If there are a dozen songs you're dying to hear at your wedding, it likely won't be a problem for your DJ to find each track. Also, DJs are generally less expensive than bands. A DJ with a charismatic stage presence and excellent emcee skills can really set the mood and keep the party going.
Cons: On the opposite end of the spectrum, a DJ with a less-than stellar personality can be a party killer. Also, improvisation is tough if, say, your dad is dragging behind tempo on the father dance or your nieces and nephews decide to crash the chicken dance.
All in all there is a lot to think about when making your choice. I hope this information helps you a great deal!

information from Brides MagazineThe Bar Bill
Ways to save!
1> Forgo The Full Bar ~
Providing only beer, wine, soda, and signature drink can cut your bill in half.
2> Find A Byob Venue~
Choose a site that will let you bring in your own liquor. Buy it by the case to save 10 to 15 percenst off the cost of single bottles. Return unopened bottles, if that's allowed in your state.
3> Say Yes To A Different Bubbly~
Instead of the real French stuff, serve a sparkling wine like Prosecco (Italy) or Cava (Spain), which mimic champagne's bubble personality but not its price tag.
4> Avoid Designer Labels
Choose nonbrand liquors and house wines instead of premium brands. Most guest won't notice.
5> Use Trays
Have waiters offer glasses of champagne and wine from trays. This way, you can serve less expensive varities without worring about guest judging the drink label.
6> Think Tuesday
Are most of your guest local? Get married on an off-night (Sunday through Thursday). People tend to drink less when they have to work the next day.
7> Go Ethnic
Plan a themed reception, then limit beverages to a few appropriate options - wine with Italian celebration, or Corona and margaritas for a mexican party, for example.
8> Work With Your Waitstaff
Ask that servers clear just the empty glasses from the tables to avoid driving guests back to the bar when their half-finished G&T has disappeared.
9> Open As Needed
Have bartenders start a new bottle only when needed, or else you'll be charged for that fifth of Johnny Walker Red even if no one orders a single whiskey.
10> Time It Right
Avoid overtime. At the Omni Hotel in Chicago, an extra hour of open bar ($7 per person) would cost $1050 for 150 guest.
HINT HINT ...
A cash bar seems like it's a win-win: You don't pay for the alcohol but your guest still have access to it. But here's the rub: It's Tacky! Opt for beer and wine if you can't afford a full bar.
Sometimes a party minus liquor is necessary (perhaps your religion frowns upon it or the two of you met in AA) :). But to save money? Not such a hot idea. People look forward to having a few drinks at a celebration - don't disappoint them!

Wedding Linen Guide
This may help when it comes time for you to choose your linen.
Common Terms:
Polycotton: Thes come in a rainbow of colors and are great for food stations and other utility tables.
Lamour: These are a shinier linen and are softer to the touch than polycotton. These are the most common upgrade linens.
Bengaline: This fabric has thin ribbing that runs in one direction (similar to corduroy, but with a different texture). I personally love the look of the Bengaline on bigger pieces, like a table, because it helps give the table an added element of depth.
Bichon: These are shiny like Lamour, but have a "wrinkly" texture. Bichon is a more delicate fabric and therefore cost more than some of the other luxury linens.
Pintuck: These linens have seams that run across the fabric, creating diamond or square patterns. These add instant glamour to any table, though it can be difficult to balance certain glasware on them, depending on the width of the seams.

Choosing a Caterer
You want choose a caterer that comes highly recommended and of course one that is easy to work with. Most highly recommended caterers are booked up - sometimes a year in advance. So be sure that choosing a caterer is on the top of your planning to do lists.
Wedding caterers will usually have a portfolio or some photos of previous work. So don't forget to ask to see them. This will give you some great ideas on how to you may want your own serving table to be arranged, and most important these photos or portfolio will give you a good idea of how organized this particular caterer will be.
Get the details in writing. Ask for a detail price sheet of entrees they offer. Take one home so you can begin to plan your menu. Make sure the price quotes given to you early on are in the final contract you sign. It is always a good idea to take notes when consulting with any vendor so you can always refer back for planning information.
Things to consider when hiring a wedding Caterer:
Are they licensed by the state?
Is their location near?
How is the food transported?
Are additional cooking facilities needed at the reception site?
Is the food prepared fresh or from frozen?
Who keeps the leftovers?
Do they provide needed serving utensils?
Do they supply any decorations?
What is the deposit amount, and when is it due?
When is the balance due?
How are the fees calculated? {per person?}
Are taxes and tips included in the total fee?
$ Saving money tips $
Serve a sit down luncheon in lieu of a formal dinner.
Order foods that are in season.
Enlist your family and friends to help with setup, serving, and clean up.
Ask the caterer if you are allowed to bring some of your own entrees, condiments or dessert.
Find out if they provide tableware, linens, utensils and cake table.
It is always important to give the final guest count by the specified date given by the caterer to insure proper preparation. Give the caterer several contact numbers and get all contact numbers for the caterer too. Remember the more prepared you are the less stress you will have!

Project Management
Me like everyone else, I am sure, can always brush up on organizational skills, so I have come up with a few tips for project management. Take a look, tell me what you think!
Project management can be decided in four parameters.
1. Scope - The project at hand. ( What the project is suppose to accomplish and what the end result should be.)
2. Quality - Scale of the event. Large, small, elegant, casual...
3. Time - Beginning to End.
4. Cost - The amount of money required to deliver the scope.
Five phases of Project Management.
1. Planning - Creating the objective. Specific, realistic, attainable - Cost, quality and Time.
- Budgeting
- Creating a Team and Choosing Resources
- Defining the task - Break down specific to dos in to attainable task. Don't overwhelm your self, arrange the task in order that they need to be completed.
2. Scheduling - Schedule your task with a start and finish date plus spare time.
- Arrange your time by working backwards from the finish date.
3. Controlling - Manage delays - by fast-tracking move up the started date on certain task that can be completed while waiting to complete the delayed task. You may also may have to work overtime to get things back on track. Another way to manage is to add resources, add more people to complete the project. Or even change or eliminate a certain task. Making changes can affect the overall outcome of the project. Make sure to weigh out your changes If you have to take from your time you may have to add cost or it may affect your quality. Make sure it levels out so that you don't compromise the finished projects outcome.
4. Execution - completing the task to finish the project
5. Closing - Finish the project. I always like to go back to the objectives of the event and show how each has been met. Then make mental notes to refer back to, to make the next go around easier and more organized.
Remember the old "6P's" - Proper Planning Prevents Pathetically Poor Performance!

Meeting the Calligrapher
It is always best to meet with the calligrapher in person, that way you can view actual samples of lettering on different types of card stock. You will see some with smooth finishes, and those with deckle or rough edges. Finding the calligraphy style that you like might be a little challenging for some of you. There are so many to choose from. Here are just a few styles to name Elaborate Copperplate, Flourish Italic, Vixen, Attitude, and Italic. All are very elegant and would be perfect for any event invitation. There are a lot of informative websites that you can view samples of the writing styles. Check them out, and as always relax and have fun!

Honor Your Attendants
For the Bride, this is one of the most intimate parties of all! She gets the opportunity to show her attendants her appreciation and to thank each and everyone on a person basis. There are so many things a bride can do for her attendants, such as a day at the spa or even tea time at her favorite spot. This party usually takes place during the week leading up to the wedding. I think this party is very important for the bride and her attendants... Everyone will get a much need break and have a little time to relax.

Most of us have a long weekend to enjoy your family and friends so take advantage of it. Maybe even go see a long lost friend and catch up. What ever you do this holiday weekend be safe and think of others!
