For those who have been lucky enough to get engaged this year, many are probably starting to understand just how much goes into planning a wedding. As one of the most important days of your life, the day you tie the knot is something that is planned out over the course of months. From the ceremony and arrangements to the food menu and flowers, planning a great wedding is no joke.

At Catering By Mario’s, we have helped couples plan their big day for years. Aside from being the top choice for holiday parties in Philadelphia, PA, and the surrounding area, we are happy to help cater and host couples who are looking to get hitched in the City of Brother Love. Here are just a few of the tips we recommend all recently engaged couples keep in mind when planning their wedding:

Understand Your Budget

Regardless of how much money you and your fiancé have to spend, there is a very good chance you are eventually going to go over budget. Having a decent understanding of this before you start planning can help you make those tough decisions much easier later down the line.

Get As Much Help As You Can

Speaking of budget, it is essential to always look for ways to save any amount of money. Whether it be an old friend who has some experience as a disk jockey to choosing the cheaper options for wedding invitations. However, going cheaper doesn’t mean saving your time or money. A DIY wedding can end up costing many weekends of doing countless hours of work in preparation of the big day. It is important to remember when to save a time and when to save some time.

Stop Trying To Control The Weather

It’s impossible for any of us to control the weather. So until that changes, it is important for couples not to worry and panic over the wedding. The most you can do is to avoid any time spent outdoors; have a backup plan in the event of rain clouds showing up without an RSVP.

Even if you aren’t looking to plan a wedding anytime soon, interested parties can still turn to us for any off-premise catering in South Jersey. Give us a call at 267-234-7905 to get started.
