Selections Entertainment has been in business for 3 1/2 years and the main thing we see when we do consultations is people are very surprised on the cost of parties, events, and weddings. Everyone wants to stay on a budget and downsize their party, event and wedding. We hear the famous line all the time"We just want something small". Having something small on a budget still cost. There are always ways to save money but i try my best to give potential clients and clients a heads up on estimated price in each category. Before you contact a planner (hopefully it will be SE :) ) here are a few price ranges in each category. It's always great to save money, be on a budget but remember you get what you pay for! Plan ahead and on a realistic budget to get what you want! Venues Venues can be very costly, so depending on how many people you are inviting and expecting be prepared to pay!

The popular months of wedding season is almost over but don't forget the fall and winter months where alot of people get engaged! Remember in the 80's & 90's when couples got engaged and they really took the time to plan their wedding the right way? They enjoyed their engagement with moving in together, learning and meeting more family members & friends, discovering more likes & dislikes, and marriage counseling. What happened in 2012? Everyone is in a rush. Do you hear about engagement parties or gatherings? No! Seems like you hear that a couple is engaged in Jan. and by sep they are married!

Take your time during this process and plan your wedding accordingly whether big or small. If you have to be engaged a year or more do it! It will be worth it and will s...

Planners we all know this is a busy season for us with weddings and events! The experience can be over whelming and exciting at the same time! How realistic are you in your consultation? We all know that brides and grooms are excited about their special day but realistically they have no clue how much things cost! They give you their budget and sometimes you are like whoa! Yes we all know that our goal is for clients to stay in their budget and still have their day turn out wonderful but planners need to also be realistic with potential clients on how much things cost in today's market for wedding items! There are always deals out there but you get what you pay for and it's 2012! My advice to you planners is have a breakdown of each category and give them an estimate price of how much things will cost such as: venue, cake, dj, catering, limos, decor, invitations and many more! I have done this practice with many clients and it helps them be more prepared of the wedding in...
