So everytime I call they ask for my budget, which i don’t have as of right now, but I am trying to call and find out prices so I can adjust my budget somehow and compare prices. Well everytime I call they ask for my budget, I feel like I don’t need to tell them. They just need to know how many people are attending. Why do they ask? Agh!

Absolutely not.

I dealt with the same thing ring shopping, at all the chain stores they wanted to know how much we were willing to spend, yeah, no thanks.

They ask either because they want to make sure you can afford the venue or so they can recommend only packages within your reach, or so they know your price and can work at getting the top dollar from you.

I would just tell them your budget is in the works, or you’re just pricing around right now. You could also give a vague answer, like we’re working with a moderate budget.

I am going to invite probably 50-75 people, i plan on having the party at my home, and am going to supply alcohol but also have people have the option to BYOB. I would really appreciate maybe a link to a budget wheel, like they have for weddings where it says how much of the budget should be spent on certain things. Thanks guys

On a tight wedding budget and am having my wedding in Hickory Hills on 6/17/11. If you are an experienced wedding DJ, is available and will charge me $600 or less to work my 5.5 hour wedding. I’d love to hear from you. I don’t need high tech fancy equipment just looking for basic dance lighting and music equipment loud enough for 250 guest wedding reception hall.

thanks!

With a prime date you will be hard pressed to find a good professional dj for $600.

Your wedding is just a little less than a year away put an extra few dollars away every week and up your budget to $900.

The difference between a DJ in the $600 range and the $900 range will be night and day.

$600 is very cheap for my area, a big city like Chicago it would be insanely low.

Read reviews on Wedding Wire and The Knot before you hire anyone. The DJ is the most important part of your reception, many people ruin their wedding by hiring a cheap DJ.

I wish to have a useful guide to plan for a wedding in my family. Also I wish to make a full budget before hand. For this I wish to have useful tips and guidelines. Can someone suggest me a good site for finding this?

Weddings are big occasions, that often require a lot of planning, even with budgeting to create the cheapest options. Start by setting your budget. You must know how much you can actually spend so you can plan well. Then list down all the things that you will need according to priority.

There are now some online solutions, which do just a great job. A wedding planner who specializes in creating a great wedding day celebration can be the best option. You see, the wedding planner has the contacts. They know where to look to get the best of everything, and get the best prices.

i am looking for any online wedding planner/coordinator courses that you can take for free. if you know of some please let me know. also i would like to know if anyone knows what the demand is for wedding planners/coordinators in omaha nebraska?? it would be very helpful. thanks so much

Hi… I know of no free wedding-planner courses, although I may be wrong.

It took me years to write the AAWP course, based on my years of research on the wedding industry and my experience. It also takes a lot of time to keep the course updated and current so that all the information is the best it can be for our members. We also support our members in their businesses, which is critical for their success. It’s a lot of time and effort, but it’s so worth it!

When looking for courses (free or not), ask these questions before proceeding:

1. Is the organization that offers the course an organization of wedding planners and wedding professionals? If not, don’t consider it.

2. Is wedding planning their only focus, or do they offer other, diverse courses? Wedding planning should be their ONLY focus.

3. Who wrote the course? This is critical. The person who is teaching you should be an expert with lots of experience in the field.

4. Does the course offer "Business Development Services"? If not, look elsewhere. What’s the point of learning how to plan a wedding, if you don’t know how to develop and grow your business?

5. Does the course offer ongoing, professional support once you complete it? You will need help as you start and grow your business. Having a professional organization to call or email for support, answers, and information may be the difference between success and failure.

Make sure the course you select offers you all it can in the way of education and the necessary tools you’ll need to build and grow a wedding planning business.

* P.S. To find the demand for wedding planners in Omaha, do an online search for planners. If lots of names come up, there’s lots of demand. On the other hand, Omaha is a big city. If there aren’t lots of names, it may be a good market to break into! Good luck!
