Are you interested in an all inclusive wedding plan? More brides and grooms are choosing all inclusive wedding packages. With today’s busy lifestyles, buying a complete wedding package you can customize to your own tastes and desires—while getting a better price than if you did it yourself can not be beaten. Couples should shop around to see what it would cost them to piece together their own wedding (not to mention their time, usually over 100 hours), then compare it to the all inclusive wedding packages available online.
Truly all inclusive wedding packages include all vendors required for the wedding, coordinating, and handling the details of the event from the day the bride books, until the last guest has left the reception, and the reception location is cleaned up. Many all inclusive wedding companies work with their brides for up to one-and-a-half years prior to their wedding.
With an all inclusive wedding package, “all inclusive” should mean all the hard work is taken care of and the bride makes all the fun decisions – dress, clothes, honeymoon destination.
An all inclusive wedding package should include coordination of the entire event and all the vendors for a successful wedding (caterer, baker, photographer, videographer if you want one, officiant, reception venue, ceremony venue, florist, staff, music, linen rentals, chair cover rentals, table and chair rentals, etc).
Depending on the time of year, many all inclusive wedding companies will run promotions offering free services with the packages.Such promotions may include free invitations, a free wedding cake, a free bartender, and even off-season discounts. It would cost more for the bride to go out and do the wedding herself than it would to buy a complete wedding package, plus she gets full coordination and a professional staff and crew.
The bride should beware of “extra hidden fees.” Make sure your wedding company does not tack on an additional $2.50 per slice to cut the cake or an additional $3.50 per bottle to serve the champagne. Having to deal with surprise fees as the wedding day approaches can be a nightmare.
Planning and putting together the specifics of a full-scale event, which a wedding is, takes numerous hours and event expertise.
Ideally a wedding package should offer a choice of outdoor or indoor ceremonies and receptions.
All inclusive wedding companies represent volume business for vendors. The bride and groom are one-time clients and do not have the bargaining power that a volume client does.
With an all inclusive wedding another person worries about:
• Performing endless vendor interviews.
• Will the tables and linens be delivered and setup before the cake arrives?
• Who will setup the tables?
• Who will pick up and setup all the chairs, linens, favors, flowers, decorations, bar, beverage table, gift table, sign in table, buffet tables?
• Who will run the buffet and keep it stocked?
• Who will cleanup from the ceremony, reception and the kitchen at the end of the night?
• Who will cut and serve the cake and champagne?
• What happens when the florist gets sick the morning of the wedding and can’t deliver the flowers?
• Who will run out to find someone, somewhere?
• Triple confirming arrival times and services with vendors.
Your complete french wedding package company should offer you discounted pricing and a stress free event that is run based on your own wishes
