A Wedding Planner

First, you should consider hiring a wedding planner. Similar to a conductor, a wedding planner can bring together all the different pieces of your wedding and ensure that they work together smoothly. This could include the catering, the music, the entertainment and much more. They will also help you layout the venue the right way too. When you select a wedding planning agency, make sure that you explore their portfolio of work. It’s important that they do have a history of providing the type of service that you want for your special day. 

A Caterer

You might also want to consider hiring a caterer for your wedding guests and your wedding party. In some cases, these can come included when you hire out your wedding venue, however, this isn’t always the case. You might have to select your own dining option. When you select a catering service, taste testing is highly recommended. In doing so, you can make sure that the food is fantastic and that it will tantalize the taste buds of your guests. 

You can consider handling the catering yourself. To save on costs, many people prepare buffet food for their wedding guests to enjoy. This is always going to be less expensive than a fully cooked and prepared meal. However, you do have to be fairly confident with your skills in the kitchen and get the quantity of food right. You also need to keep in mind different dietary requirements. 

Live Music 

Live music is another popular choice that you can consider for your wedding. With live music, you’ll definitely provide a talking point for your guests. You can make sure that they are absolutely thrilled with the entertainment for the evening. Live bands do book up fast so make sure that you secure your choice as soon as you select a date for your wedding. 

Alternatively, you can opt for a set up where guests can choose their own music and play it through a sound system. It’s certainly a cheaper option but nowhere near as impressive or memorable. 

We hope this helps you understand some of the key services that you need for your wedding beyond the photographer. If all the pieces fall into place, then you can guarantee that your big day is everything that you hoped it would be and goes off without a hitch. Of course, if you’re working with a tighter budget you can perhaps avoid some of these services but do remember that most people only get married once. It’s worth spending a little more to ensure that your day is picture-perfect.
