LIMOUSINES
Transportation to your wedding can range from the unique to the elegant.
But at least one chauffeur-driven limo is in order.
It will be used to transport the Bride and her father to the church and
then it will carry the newly-married couple from the church to the reception.
If your budget allows, additional limos are used to transport the mother
of the Bride, the Groom's parents, and the wedding attendants to the church
and reception.

MUSIC- RECEPTION
Before you hire a DJ or live band, ask for referrals from friends, or
better yet, attend one of their performances.
Discuss the type of music you want, including specific songs you want for
the special dances.
The type of music you choose will set the tone of your reception. Keep in
mind that people of all ages will be in attendance. So, provide a mix of
music - from the 40's to today. That way everyone will enjoy the ultimate
party - your reception.

PHOTOGRAPHERS
Your wedding will last a few short hours, but the memories will last
a lifetime with the services of a reputable photographer.
Begin your search 6-12 months before the wedding. Choose a photographer
who specializes in weddings. Ask to see albums of recent weddings he or
she has done.
Package deals should specify exactly how many shots will be taken, how many
photos (and what size) you will be able to choose for your album, and whether
proofs and other albums are included in the price.
Discuss with your photographer any special shots you want taken and special
people you want included. Inform him or her of church restrictions on flash
photography, walking around the altar, etc.
Many Brides choose to have formal photos in their gowns done in advance
of their wedding day to save time and stress on the hectic day.
When you return from your honeymoon you both will have the delightful (and
difficult) chore of deciding which pictures to choose for your album - a
collection of precious memories to remind you of your wedding day for years
to come!

PHOTOGRAPHERS- VIDEO
Choose a videographer the same way you choose a photographer. Ask to
see his or her work. Look for quality and details. Ask married friends for
referrals if you see their video and like it.
Before agreeing to a price, ask how much taping will be done, whether the
final cassette will be edited, and if you have a say in the editing.
Discuss special events (the vows, cake cutting, etc.) and special people
(your great-aunt, etc.) that you want included in the final tape.
Ask about the possibility of including other pre- ceremony events such as
the rehearsal dinner or bridesmaids' luncheon.
Make him or her aware of any special restrictions during the ceremony ask
your clergyman.
A wedding video will capture the atmosphere and emotion of your wedding,
and it will always remain the most precious tape in your library.

RECEPTIONS & BANQUET ROOMS
Your wedding reception will probably be the biggest and best party you'll
ever give.
Choosing your reception hall and caterer is one of the first and most important
details in planning your wedding. It is probably also the largest expense.
So take the time and effort needed to make a wise choice.
After you have decided on the number of guests and your budget, begin shopping
around. A year before the wedding is not too early to start.
You can choose from church halls, VFW / KC / Elk halls, restaurants, banquet
rooms, reception halls, hotel ballrooms, country clubs, private homes, and
outdoor sites.
Because this will be such an important decision and large expense, get everything
in writing. Find out about their deposit and cancellation policies.
Once you have decided on a place, get on with your other wedding plans,
but check back with the site two weeks before your wedding. Then just wait
for the party to begin!www.neworleanscityclub.com
