Wedding Wise Wednesday – Now With Free Conference Call!

If you had a wedding planner for an hour, what would you ask? Well, you’ll have one tonight at 6:30pm. The big day is here – the launch of my new service, Charmed Circle Consultation Calls! Go to my website for the call in-number and code, get on the call tonight, and let me know what’s bugging you about your wedding. And thanks to Meg at A Practical Wedding for the lovely write-up.

So, as I was saying on Monday, The Bridal Show was chock full of wedding deals and steals, so many that I’d be quite stupid to NOT use them for the Wedding Wise. Note: I’m not personally endorsing or recommending any of the vendors below, but I will say that these prices are all very good for what you’re getting, so you should definitely check them out. So good, in fact, that I’m pretty sure most of these folks aren’t going to be offering these prices for long.

Photographers:

King Photography– 4 hours of photography, engagement session, all photos on cd, 24 page album, $1095. With 6 hours, this package is $1495. BUT, if you book by December 15th, and mention (this is important) the Bridal Showplace on 11/15,the 6-hour package is, wait for it, $695.

Perfect Images Photography – Unlimited time during your wedding day, two photographers (subject to availability), DVD with all images,8” Digital Frame or Hardcover coffee table book,Secure on-line viewing album, $900.

Kelliane Jordon – First of all, she’s offering 10% off if your wedding is between November and March. Her basic package, “Custom Crystal” is 3 hours of coverage, cd with pics, for $1,000. This package would totally work if you know there are going to be a lot of guests taking pictures as well. Get a flickr or wedding lens account and ask them to download their reception shots onto the site. Also, if you book a photography service, you’ll get 10% off her videography, which starts at $2,000 for 6 hours. So, basically, photo and video for less than $3,000.

Deluxe Photo Booths – 4 hours of Photo Booth Rental with attendant, Unlimited Black and White or Color Photos, $1000

Cheesy Photobooths – 4 hours of unlimited double prints (one for guests, one for you), custom event banner on each print, CD of ALL the pictures taken. $1395, if you book them by the end of the year (for whenever next year)and use the code bookings48032 and receive 2 additional hours free. Oh, and I have THREE coupons for another $160 off if you’re the first person to book a date they have open. Email me at liz@silvercharmevents.com if you’re interested, and I’ll send it to you.

Artistic Memories – Photography starts at $1095, Combination Video/Photography at $1895.
