Where to invest, where to save

Some details guests remember for ever. Knowing where to invest, and how to make the rest go further, is the secret of a budget well spent.

The same budget, better spent

It is not about spending more; it is about spending where it is felt. Focus the budget on what stays in the memory and fit the rest around your priorities.

Worth investing in

Photography and video

It is the only thing you take home. After the day, it is what brings the emotion back.

Food and drink

What guests talk about most: before, during and long after.

Coordination on the day

The difference between living the day and spending it solving problems.

Music and sound

It fills, or empties, the dance floor. Not the place to cut back.

Decoration, flowers and atmosphere

They create the atmosphere that stays in the photos and the memory, from the tables to the entrance to the hall.

Making your budget go further

The guest count

This is where the biggest difference lies: every extra guest is one more seat, one more menu and one more invitation.

The date and the season

Fridays, Sundays or off-peak dates are usually more affordable than a summer Saturday.

Three clear priorities

Choose what really has to shine and protect it in the budget. The rest fits around it.
