amy1979's Green wedding

I have to say that the best thing that I have found in our wedding planning is a reception site that includes a wedding coordinator. I never thought that we could afford to hire one but if you go through a venue that has a person (i.e. Director of Private Events) this person will probably also act as a coordinator. I wanted to do most of the planning myself, but these people can set up decorations, book vendors, provide referrals, set up ceremony site, etc. I was dying to have the ceremony in a private location that could only be used by residents of the property. Since we're getting married at the Country Club (located within same plantation) the coordinator can do book the ceremony site through her business...YAY!!! They'll also take care of chair rentals, setup/teardown/ceremony coordination, etc. I won't have to lift a finger on our wedding day...hopefully! Anyway, my point.....if you can, book a venue that has no cost or a small additional cost for a coordinator. It is SOOOOOOO worth it!!!!
