Stretch Your Wedding Budget
Part Three by Nily Glaser

Reception
The reception is the most expensive part of your wedding. You must be very particular when choosing your reception site. It must be appropriate and fit with your reception plan. You also need to know if the reception site will supply you with all your furniture and dining needs. If not, you must calculate fees for renting these items.

When choosing a reception site, you'll be able to negotiate the best deals by choosing a slow period like a Friday evening or Sunday afternoon.

Do your due diligence by researching Kansas City reception sites.

Dinner
Know any good cooks? Ask them to prepare their favorite recipes for your wedding reception. Know any good bakers? Ask them to prepare sweets and desserts or maybe even your wedding cake. You'll save money and they will feel honored for being asked.

If you have your reception catered, you must consider the number of guests, the time of day and how the food will be served. Will it be refreshments only? Dessert only? Light snacks? Sit-down? Buffet? Will you serve alcohol? Will it be open bar?

There is an enormous difference in price between a light brunch and a five course dinner. Try having a brunch or an early lunch and you can serve fruit and vegetables, salads, eggs, cheeses, pastries, coffee, tea and cold drinks buffet style. Try having a late lunch and you'll only need to add a few meats and poultry.

Do your due diligence by researching Kansas City reception caterers.

Photography and Videography
Before hiring a photographer or a videographer compare prices and references. Choose the very best photographer within your budget. When package pricing, always go for quality over quantity.  Do your due diligence by researching Kansas City wedding photographers and learning mre about Kansas City wedding photography.
