Wedding Planners

Is anyone using or planning on using a wedding planner? Do you know who much they charge?

but why do you need to pay out extra $$ for something you and the wedding party can easily do yourselves??  
(Unless $$ is no issue, then I am out of line, sorry!)  
Pre-Planning is the Key!  
Make a list....well in advance - booking the hall is FIRST.  
Book the minister.  
Book rooms for out-of-towners....  
 
Then the rest - caterers, flowers, music, etc.  
I've been a bridesmaid 13 times at beautiful weddings and not one wedding planner was involved.  
It just takes organization and committment to the list of things to do.  
And it puts YOU in charge of your own special day!

Planning a wedding.......

I planned my own wedding etc and honestly don't waist your money planning a wedding is so easy in Brandon. Do allot of research as well look for party favors etc on the web to get great ideas. Honestly though planning a wedding is easy:  
 
Pick groomsman and bridesmaids  
 
pick revenue: I suggest Victoria Inn you get a bridal room Free as well as your Social room Free  
 
make invitations or order  
 
you need center pieces/party favors: Search web for nice cost efficient ideas  
 
Find a photographer: I suggest Memories 4 Life Photography myself ha ha LOL  
 
Find a Videographer if you want one: I suggest Timeless Studios Craig  
 
Find a wedding Dress: I suggest Winnipeg or promises bridal  
 
Suits: Moore's Clothing if the groomsman purchase one the groom gets his free  
 
Wedding Ceremony: Church, Eleanor Kidd garden, Or my choice Centennial auditorium Very beautiful there  
 
DJ: I suggest Rob Prince  
 
Anything Else Check out EBrandon's all about weddings Discussions.  
 
There you go If you have any questions please PM Me! I pretty much planned the wedding see how easy that was lol. GOOD LUCK

Wedding Planner

Planners area a great tool for a great wedding. Though not always necessary, they can be very useful.  
 
Any good planner will work to create the wedding YOU want, and not give you a wedding they think you should have. They will have connections to outlets and suppliers that may be able to save you money, and just as important, headaches.  
 
If you book with one, ask for references, and make sure that they will give you want you want to have at your wedding.

weddings

can be stressful! What i did for mine was delegated a few jobs to each of my bridesmaids, some ladies in my group of friends and my mother. all i had to do was decide on who was doing each service and where it would be and when. every thing else from decorations to invitations were made and prepared by these friends i just gave ideas of what i wanted and gave the final ok's! It was great cus the load was passed on everyone who cares enough about me to want to help. If you are too busy to do this maybe a really good friend who likes to organize would be a good option, maybe they will do it as a wedding gift to you. as far as photographers go i would check out www.bluelionphotography.com they did my friends wedding and were GREAT!!! so professional and we had alot of fun with them! the vic inn is a pretty venue for reception, i agree 100% there! Congrats!! and good luck!
