How To Plan Events Without Breaking The Bank Planning an unforgettable event brings “Big Dreams” to mind and then comes the fear of spending a fortune which will sometimes cause you to postpone or even give up on your event dreams.

We must suggest you hire a wedding planner for your event because they are not biased and will totally get the best vendors in a heart beat but for the sake of this blog i will assume i'm advising a DIY bride. Most vendors get hired based on the uniqueness of their service and how it’s rendered while some are hired based on some other reasons but I’m here to talk to you about the vendors who you shouldn’t hire. 1.The Vendors that don't know what they are doing This first point is self explanatory. don’t hire them if they don’t know anything about the job.
