  1. Enjoy the Moment: Before concentrating on the details of table arrangements take this time to savor this moment together. It goes quickly, before you know it you will be walking down the aisle. Crack open that bottle of champagne you’ve been holding on to and drink to each other!
  2. Dream Up Your Ideal Wedding: Start imagining what your perfect day looks like. Think about the style, theme, and overall vibe you want for your wedding that speaks to both of you. Remember to keep in mind that flexibility and compromise are key. There’s a good chance you can’t get your spring floral arrangements for your October wedding.
  3. Choose your Date and Venue: Dates fill up quickly, especially at coveted wedding venues. Easy and always current with new and exciting locations, Santa Barbara Venues, can help find the venue from Malibu to San Luis Obispo that is right for your day. If you find a venue that you love with a date open, don’t wait! Wedding season is typically June through October with the busiest (and priciest dates) are July through September.
  4. Hire a Trusted Wedding Coordinator: A reliable wedding coordinator can be a lifesaver. They bring expertise, organizational skills, and a calm head to your wedding planning. They do this for a living, know the ins and outs of the industry, and can keep an eye out for any issues that could arise during the process. A coordinator can help you stay on track with your vision, budget, and timeline, and can handle the little details that you might overlook.
  5. Book an Amazing Caterer: Once the I-Do’s are said, the first thing your guests are thinking about is party time! Choosing a trusted and reliable caterer leaves a lasting impression on your wedding and is a crucial component. Pure Joy Catering offers award-winning cuisine as the continuously voted #1 caterer in Santa Barbara that creates a menu specially designed with each couple in mind! Patrick can guide you from initial tasting, rentals, venue assistance, and of course the delicious food!
