The following are 5 tips for picking a wedding venue:
1. Check the availability. Why is this important? You should want to pick and reserve the wedding venue at least 6 months prior to your special date. How are you affected each time you follow these suggestions? This will ensure you can get the venue you would like and be certain to enquire that no one has already booked to prevent double bookings.
2. Fit within your budget. That's important because you do not want to be lured into hiring a venue you cannot afford. And because selecting a venue that costs too much could well mean you will have to skimp on other areas..
3. Numbers are important. The reason behind this is you want to book a venue that can definitely cater to the number of guests who will be attending.. It's also a good idea because getting your numbers right early on can help when selecting the perfect venue..

You need to be aware that some venues do not provide catering and also check to see if you are allowed to use outside caterers if you intend to use them.. Any other reason? Be sure to check the price beforehand as you could be in for a nasty surprise if the catering is not included with the venue hire..
5. Don't forget the entertainment!. And this is important as a consequence of why? Some venues will offer entertainment options, so be sure to check if suitable.. What are the additional reasons? The venue also might have a list of preferred entertainers with a proven track record and if you ask, sometimes you can negotiate a discount.

Auckland Wedding Planner With Some Help On Buying Your Wedding Dress
Making the "big purchase" of a wedding dress is an exciting day and a time when you should feel really special and beautiful and have fun doing it. To make it a success, here are a few ideas.
Who to take?
It is always good to have a friend or family member come with you to help with advice and give you an unbiased opinion - remember that sales people in the boutiques are just that - they are there to sell so of course they think everything looks wonderful on you!
Above all you want someone who will tell it like it is and not shy to share their opinion. Letting you know that the long white gloves you are trying on just does not cut the mustard! Remember this is your special day so anyone that is tagging along needs to understand this and give you the center of attention you deserve. The last thing you want is your friend shooting off to try on the latest boots!
Don't be shy!
The sales assistant will be in the changing room with you when you are trying on these beautiful "gowns" so don't fret and feel self conscious; she has seen it all before. You have to remember this isn't an ordinary frock from Saks, this is a very expensive purchase that will be tailored to your every curve (or lack of) so don't be shy about standing around in your underwear today. In terms of underwear, you want to choose neutral coloured and seamless so that it doesn't show through the dress on the day but the style and fabric of the dress will determine this for you.
How far in advance should I get my gown?
If you are having your dress made you will need to begin the process of selecting a dress maker 12 months in advance, this will give you time to meet with them decide on the style and allow enough time for several fittings. Likewise if you are buying "off the rack" often you will try on the gown you like but a brand new one will be ordered in for you usually from overseas and you need to allow up to 6 months for delivery and then minor fitting adjustments might need to be made.
Many brides will be trying to shed some pounds before the biggest day of their lives, so I recommend starting early so that it doesn't throw your dress fittings into chaos. I'd probably recommend doing a final fitting no earlier than one month before the day but your dress maker can help you with that also.
There are so many styles, what do you suggest?:
It is good to have an idea of some styles you like before you visit the boutiques, but it is also important to keep your self open to some suggestions and try some different styles, especially in the beginning. Often you will end up with a totally different style, but remember, this is your day so make sure you are comfortable with your choice.
Most importantly is the gown something that you will feel comfortable in for the whole day? You don't want to get a very fitted dress if you are going feel self conscious like wise if you don't like strapless or feel more comfortable wearing a bra then these are things to take into consideration as well.
Lastly - never purchase your wedding dress on your visit day of shopping. Narrow down your choices to two or three and then think about it for a few days before making a final decision, revisit and try on again if necessary to make sure you are completely happy with your choice.
