Looking for a wedding location? Important tips, plus staying stress free on your big day!

Happy New Year!

If you are searching for the right venue for your next event or wedding, our company has access to hundreds of private estates and beautiful venues.

Tips to help make the process easier

1. Your budget and guest count - Establish your maximum budget as well as your high guest count.  Once these two important factors have been determined, run the numbers by an experienced event planner to make sure your numbers hold water.  This will save you precious time and help you avoid costly mistakes.

2. Determine which date or dates that you want your event. Then, check with family and friends to make sure that there are no major conflicts before signing any agreements.

3. Location - figure out which city or cities you are open to having your wedding or special event.  We have access to estates and venues in the greater Los Angeles, Orange County and Palm Springs.

4. How late do you want your party to go until?  If you have dreamed of an estate wedding, but want the music to go until 2 pm, that can be a challenge, due to noise restrictions.  We suggest considering an estate with a ballroom or a beautiful venue that has similar characteristics to an estate.  xo

5. Check out reviews for your venue selections using Yelp and the Internet before you book. Same goes with your service providers - see what clients have to say about their services.  Our company is proud of our reviews and we have worked hard for them.

How to Stay Stress Free on Your Wedding Day

1. Hire a wedding planner to dial in the details for your wedding day.
2. Keep the amount of people in your suite to a comfortable minimum, while you are getting ready.  Normally, you will have hair and makeup professionals, plus bridesmaids and moms. Numbers can add up fast.
3. Book a massage in the morning or schedule a work out, before you have to get ready, then have your favorite breakfast delivered to your room.
4. Book the same for the groom. xo
5. Bring your Ipod and play your favorite tunes.
6. Delegate all important questions to someone you trust and who thinks like you do, i.e. your maid or matron of honor, so you can relax.
7. Remember to remind your bridesmaids to take their personals out of your suite before the ceremony, so you won't have to after the wedding reception.

Wishing you a great weekend!
