Come join us at the Tacoma Dome Exhibition Hall on March 27th & 28th for the Tacoma Spring Wedding Expo. We’re going to be there with some great partners and an amazing 20′x20′ booth, showcasing our collective talents and services.

We’ve also put together a great package just for Expo brides – wedding-day coordination, photography, videography and a DJ, all for under $5,000. You’ll save over $1,500, just by attending the show. You won’t find a better deal at the Expo than this.

On site will be Kim with Vivid Images Photography, Adam with Adam’s DJ Service and Anthony with Motion of Life Video Productions. And of course, we’ll be there too. Be sure to ask us about our Expo pricing, as well as our group package with Kim, Adam and Anthony.

Tickets are $15. Sign up now and get 2 tickets for the price of one. Limited time offer.

This is Part 3 in our 3 part series on saving money while getting the wedding you want. There were great ideas long before these, and there will be more tips after this series – but we hope that some of the info in this series has been a help to you in planning your wedding. If you find yourself in need of some cost saving or trendy ideas, or you need help on your wedding day, please call or email us – we’ll be right there for you.

Videography: Limiting the events that your videographer captures will save room in your budget. Instead of having them film from the time you start getting ready to the time you ride of into the sunset, you could have them capture just the ceremony and the formal events of your reception.

Wedding Cake: Instead of getting an elaborate cake for display and eating, you could have a small 2-tier cake made for display, and then have a sheet cake made that will be served to guests.

Favors: You can save on cost by making your own classic favors from scratch. Buy tulle circles (or cut them out yourself) and wrap some Hershey Kisses or Jordan Almonds with ribbon tied around it. Other affordable favors might include paper fans, coasters, candles, or handmade chocolates.

Hair & Make-up: Depending on the look you want, hair and make-up are easily done by you or a friend. More complicated hair styles will require someone with some expertise, though.

Wedding Planning & Coordination: With enough time and enough organizational skills, you can plan your own wedding and save the money for day-of wedding coordination. Having a professional wedding planner coordinate your wedding day allows you, your family and friends to enjoy your wedding day instead of working. We have the experience with vendors and venues to make sure that your wedding day looks just like you imagined it.
