Vendors are not created equal. And when deciding which vendors are the best fit for you, there’s a lot to consider. Pricing is one of those things. Comparing pricing among florists or djs or photographers or venues does provide insight into what quality of services/ products you’ll get from them.

The world of wedding planning is full of new terminology that many couples may not know. QC Wed Me has compiled this handy glossary to some of the most common wedding planning terms you may hear as you start planning.

No couple wants their wedding reception to be boring! The party is the part of your wedding day that most guests remember most! You want your guests to have a good time as they celebrate your marriage! There are traditional parts of your wedding reception, such as the dancing and the bouquet toss, but there are so many other ways you can entertain your guests. Check out a few of our favs!

Wedding planning can be a time-consuming task, and while every couple’s needs and wants are different, it’s important to give yourself plenty of time to pull your wedding day plans together. There are a lot of moving parts— calls to make, people to meet, desserts to taste, etc.

Guests overwhelmingly remember two things from a reception: the food and the dj. According to QC Wed Me research, the average dj investment is $1100. Seems like a lot when you can just plug your phone into a speaker with an aux cord, right?

Well… not so much. There’s a lot more that goes into dj-ing a wedding. QC Wed Me has recruited Donnie Haggerty from Double “H” Entertainment to shed some light on the cost of hiring a professional dj.

You’re planning your wedding and have found the photographer of your dreams! But what package do you want from them? Will you want photos of the whole day, from getting ready to leaving the reception, or would just half the day do? Do you need to add on extra hours? Is there a difference between full-day and all-day coverage? This seemingly simple concept can easily become confusing.

Every wedding and every couple are different, and the amount and type of coverage you need for your big day depends on a variety of factors, but before counting hours, there are a couple things you should definitely keep in mind.

It seems pretty trivial— you wake up, get ready, get married, and party, right? Well, you’re missing a few details. Weddings have many moving parts. Significant time and discussion should go into planning your wedding day timeline to assure your day runs as smoothly and stress-free as possible.
