I was gonna do a base, middle and top package. Do you think i should add engagement session to all of the packages or just the base package? i was gonna do a leather album in different sizes for all the 3 packages. what else should i include for them. looking for answer from pro photographers.

I include an engagement session in all of my packages. I think an engagement session in an invaluable tool to connect with the client before the wedding.

My base package only includes the photography and nothing else at $2,500. At my higher packages, the clients also get the digital images as well as albums. My top packages also include 2 videographers and a day after photoshoot.

I don’t upsell different size albums. I let the client pick whatever size and cover type they want. All of my albums are hand made in Italy. The difference in cost from an 8X8 album to a 12X18 album, is minimum. Each package includes a certain number of albums, and the client can pick the size they want.

I am a firm believer in making money on the front end, and not trying to make up for cheap packages on album and print sales.

I am looking to get married in Las Vegas in the next 18 months. I need to know a good place to hold the ceremony && reception with less than 30 people. I also want it to be close to the strip and stuff.

No chapel offers reception accommodations. A lot of them offer only the simplest services and are iffy about pictures being taken by guests. I personally never recommend them.

There is a place called the Terrace that’s in Vegas, and I also did some research on the JW Marriott, which could accommodate 40-50 people minimum. These were a bit further from the strip.

As far as places ON the strip go,-
Pretty much every hotel offers quite a few packages to choose from, ranging from $1500-$20,000+ (20,000 would be including a reception with much more guests than you have).
Some include a night’s stay at a suite, pictures, music & flowers for the ceremony, a limo ride to the courthouse or to the ‘Welcome to Vegas’ sign to take pictures, etc.

Your best bet is to go through all the hotels you like and start reading about their wedding packages and what they include. You can visit their websites, they have all the information on there, under amenities, listed as weddings, or wedding chapel. (For example, here is MGM’s selection: http://www.mgmgrandweddings.com/)
For a group of 30, there’s really no typical wedding reception space that you would find on the strip. Couples usually get married in their hotel’s chapel and then celebrate at a restaurant of their choice afterwards.

Since you have 18 months, you have more than enough time to figure things out. Vegas is known for catering to the "last minute", so even if you tried to book now and set something in stone, they would honestly turn you away and tell you to come back at the 3 month prior mark.

I am looking for all inclusive wedding packages in or around the glasgow area. We would have around 80 for the meal and 120 at the reception. We are working to quite a tight budget, so somewhere that doesn’t cost the earth is ideal.

here are some ideas for some good places in glasgow for good prices.

http://www.cairngormmountain.com/page/weddings-0?p=/page/weddings-0 this place charges about L1550 and buffet meal starts at "27.50 pp unsual wedding venue.

Well it certainly depends on where you want to get married, my dear! However, here are my top suggestions in my area that may lead you to other treasures. :]

Please keep in mind; these are merely estimates in USD [United States Dollars.]

WEST COAST/ NORTHWEST of the United States:

* Lan Su Chinese Gardens in Portland, Oregon*
Small Morning Ceremony > only $500 !
Full-Day Garden Rental [wedding only] > $1,600 – $2,000
Full-Day Garden Rental [wedding + reception] > $2,400 -3,200

* Idaho Botanical Gardens in Boise, Idaho*
> Prices range from $300 – $1,600 depending on contracted time. A 50% deposit is required for reservation
> They also have discounted 7-hour rates depending on the day

* Kathryn Albertson’s Park in Boise, Idaho*
> Probably the most gorgeous park in the entire state and only $75 – $100 to reserve a gorgeous stone enclave, surrounded by garden, cattails and a fountain.
> It can only accommodate about 30 guests in the section I mentioned, but on the open lawn it can hold about 150; No reception is allowed because it’s also a Nature reserve

* Los Angeles County Arboretum in the outskirts of L.A.*
> 50 Guests or Less is only $500 and has a waterfall in the Meadow brook venue [surrounded by garden & lily pads...]
> Price goes up to $1,700 for a maximum of 250 guests

The least expensive *Destination* garden weddings can be found in the following areas:

Caribbean: Ocho Rios, Jamaica OR anywhere in Dominica’s many Nature Preserves – many venues were under $200

Costa Rica: Hidden Valley Inn, Peace Lodge & it’s sister resort seem to be the most popular and least expensive. Eloping costs around $750 for venue, tax, cake, & flowers — Double the cost for 4+ guests.

TIPS:

*For gardens at a Destination Wedding, you should go through a Travel agent for sure! They get all the inclusive discounts for their referrals and the agents themselves usually don’t cost very much.

*Saturday’s are more expensive to reserve usually; try a weekday or Sunday perhaps

* Non-profit Botanical Gardens, Arboretums, & Nature Reserves tend to be much less expensive than resorts, golf courses, country clubs etc.

* Most places in Europe, New Zealand, India & Australia I have found are expensive. I’m sure there are exceptions, but I don’t know how many of them are safe!

Hope that helps spark some ideas for you. :]

I included the most helpful DIY/eHow & garden websites I used in the ‘Source’ section below.

I’m looking to get married on the beach in Mississippi this summer. When I google something about getting married on the beach in myrtle beach about a thousand places come up with packages and places that will do it but I can’t find any in Mississippi. I was wondering if anyone out there might know of any places down there.

the only place i could find is the sea coast wedding chapel. contact them here. (scroll down to read about their "heavenly beach package" and then at the bottom of the page you can click on "images" to see photos of their beach weddings. http://www.seacoastweddingchapel.net/services.html

I’m getting married next May and I’m looking into local venues. We want to have the ceremony and reception in the same place and we’re really leaning toward an all-inclusive package deal.

Are these all-inclusive packages generally less expensive than renting the facilities and providing everything on your own? It seems like it would cost less in the long run and would be SO much less stressful. We have a $10K budget.

What are some pros/cons of all inclusive weddings?

About half of the brides I’ve worked with have opted for an all inclusive package. In most of those cases there were one or two elements that they weren’t that happy with but were fine with compromising for the simplicity of organizing the event.
The half that decided against all inclusive packages either had very very specific ideas of what/where they wanted, really hated some element of the available packages or were just kind of control freaks.
It’s much easier to stay on budget with a package and you spend much less time researching and making separate reservations etc. If you can find a package you like there’s really no down-side. You might be able to arrange something comparable for slightly less on your own, but unless you really know what your doing it will take a lot more work, and it’s not guaranteed it would be a significant savings.

I am planning a wedding and on the website it doesnt lit prices…just wondering if anyone out there has any knowledge on the wedding packages?!

since the regular dinner cruise costs 49 dollars per adult, you can figure that a wedding cruise is going to cost somewhere around 69 to 79 dollars per person. but you should call and ask them for a price quote since they will base the price upon what it is you want and how many people you will be having.

Looking for a great all inclusive destination wedding package..not to expensive as guests have to pay their flight and hotel. I would like a beach destination, not mexico. any suggestions, are there any resorts that ppl have actually been to that are nice?

Are you looking for US? Look on travel sites for Hawaii, Florida and California… they are out there you need to look a little bit.

best of luck to you.

I am looking for a unique idea for an intimate wedding. Hoping to stay under $200 for a very intimate ceremony & pics in a unique location (something other than Justice of the Peace). Ideas?

You just have to pick a location & call & call & call & call!
I called over 40 hotels before we found the perfect match. & don’t get offend if you leave a message for some one & they don’t call back. I had a some 1 call me back 5 months after I left the message. We didn’t go aboard or tropical we picked Myrtle beach for our destination wedding.
Going off season will save you a bunch too!
