The years are flying by! Where does time go? Each year more engagements are happening which leads to more weddings! Happy Happy Joy Joy! Family and friends are getting involved with the wedding planning process. The favorite line that most brides hear is "When I got married 5 or 10 years ago, things were this price or that price". 2016, & 2017 brides remember prices are not the same like they were in 2005 and 2010. Yes you can still save money and get great package deals but always remember to stay updated with the times pertaining to pricing. Here are estimated prices for different categories in the wedding industry. Please be advised these are estimated prices only and they can vary from state to state and depends on the business. 1. Venues- This area can be the most challenging to book. The venue sets the tone of the entire wedding. Venues are available in so many different styles such as hotels, ballrooms, country clubs, golf clubs and many more. Alot of venues have...

Dear Professional Small Business Owners:  This topic has been on my mind for awhile and God spoke to me to write you a letter. This is an area we have all been through, and still going through. It's the topic and area of not giving up no matter how it looks. I write to you today to say, stay strong! I know 2 yrs have passed, 5 yrs have passed, 7 yrs have passed and 10 yrs have passed and you still don't see the results! Sometimes it feels like things are getting worse instead of better! What happened to the myth of: After your 5th year things are smooth sailing! My answer to that is sometimes people get their breakthrough under 5 years but the reality is you have to keep pushing. It takes continuous hard work and determination! It's all about revamping, re branding and analyze what you can do for your business. Let's get into the experiences we go through on a regular basis! This letter is not me being mad, blaming people of the results of my life or getting revenge...

Spring is here and summer months are fast approaching! If you are planning for 2016 or 2017 you still have time! Here are some great tips to start planning: 1. You must hire a planner! Whether your special day is in 6 months or a year hire a planner. Your professional planner will make your day so much easier with budgeting, booking the right vendors and time line deadlines! 2. Set a realistic budget! Especially if you are planning at the last minute. Realize the time you have to pay for everything will be shorter and deposits will be bigger. 3. Have alternate dates! If you are planning for the summer and spring months, please be aware that dates go faster for venues and other vendors. If you are not prepared for deposits right away, have an alternate date for your special day! 4. Book your biggest vendors first! Sometimes people go backwards and they will book  a dj, florsit or baker first. They are important vendors but to start your planning off right book your planner, ...

In 2015 i still run into clients or potential clients who feel they do not need a planner! Are you crazy! Wether it's a wedding, party, event or  any type of special occassion, you need a planner! Just like a dj, caterer, photographer, or baker is needed, a planner is needed also! Planners we must stress in our consultation and on our websites the importance of a planner and coordinator! That's good your aunt planned her wedding or your sister planned her birthday party six months ago, but remember they are not professionals! They do not do this on a daily basis! Also stop thinking planners are too expensive for your budget! Most planners have economical payment plans, and deposits! Communicate, work it our with them! Overall this industry is underated and underpaid and many planners and coordinators put alot of time and effort into their work. Respect the industry and hire a planner! Check us out:  www.selectionsent.com Slogan: "Your Choice Of Style & Entertainment...
