Wise Wedding Decisions and the Chocolate Fountain Fail

Wise Wedding Decisions - budget for your big wedding

Are you picking the RIGHT services for your wedding, ones that will help build memories and not regret?

Coach Hal and I discuss spending money on the RIGHT things for a wedding, not things that don’t really matter to the success of your big day (or your child’s big day).

 

Pick the RIGHT services for your wedding

 

Negotiating the best package or finding the best deal is okay, but, is it okay to spend north of 4-figures on a DJ or a videographer?

You bet your bottom dollar it is!

It’s all about spending money on the RIGHT things, not on things that really don’t matter.

Coach Hal and I only scratched the surface on things to look out for when picking services for your wedding day.

Our discussion didn’t cover:

  • Florists
  • Limos or transportation
  • Honeymoon
  • The Wedding cake
  • Tuxedo rentals
  • Hotel stays

…and, of course, don’t forget to tip your DJ.
