Bells & Whistles �
When considering sites there are a few options, the all inclusive location which offers the tables, chairs, linens, china, food, bar, and sometimes even flowers, cake and music. Or there is the bare bones location, where you bring in all your own vendors. Now, I bet your thinking the all inclusive location sounds more expensive than the bare bones location, well, don�t bet on it. You�ll be surprised at the way costs add up.
Take the bare bones location, you have found a location and it could be everything you ever dreamed but you need to fill it up now. You start to make a list of all the things you�ll need to rent. Chairs (for the ceremony & reception), Arches for ceremony (if outdoors), Aisle runner, PA system (to pipe in music for ceremony or reception), Tables (round or long), Linens, China, Flatware, Glasses, Heat lamps (if outdoors), Dance floor, Bar (plus you have to pay for a bartender who should be bonded and have insurance on top of buying the liquor), Extra lighting, Chair covers (if you want them), the list goes on. And that doesn�t include any food, your cake, flowers, DJ, etc. See how things can add up? Now, this doesn�t mean that an all inclusive site is going to automatically be cheaper. You have to shop around and look at the per person costs of each location.
