Above all, you will want to cut down on your stress – both financial, as well as logistics. But don’t skimp on important things such as limo services, photographers and the like, if the alternatives (i.e., having a family member drive the bride to the church or synagogue, or using cousin Fred as your photographer). Let’s look at what some planners have suggested for special weddings that cost you less and reduce the stress:
DO cut corners on…
a. To save on the venue, see if a friend or relative has a sizeable back yard or living room to hold the reception? (Possible expense: liability insurance)
b. Think about being your own DJ. With iPods these days you and your fiancé can make special playlists that mean the most to you and look at the most people out on the dance floor. (Possible expense: purchasing additional digital music)
c. Another way to make your wedding less expensive is to book a weekday for your special event. Though some of your guests may be challenged to attend, you can get much better rates. (Possible expense: make sure they don’t upcharge things to “make up” for the lower price of the room)
d. Make your own invitations. With all the inkjet choices you can be creative and save a bundle on printing! (Possible expense: other than ink, paper and postage, none, but think about time involved and compare to costs to use a professional printer)
DON’T cut corners on…
Don’t skimp on getting to the church/synagogue on time, unscathed, dress clean and neat with everything intact. You can’t leave this part to chance and shortcuts. Here are your three options, but remember, it’s worth taking the option that will minimize your stress on the big day!
Option #1: for the wedding party, or, to save money and at the very least, a limosine for the bride, her parents and the maid of honor, and one for the groom, his parents and best man. The rest of the wedding party can use their own cars.
Why limo services? You’re not just paying for the ride, you’re paying for the years of experience – the Company and driver knowing the best route away from traffic, a reliable vehicle, a vehicle that is clean and elegant, and above all, elimination of driving stress on you and your loved ones.
Option #2 is to have a family member drive you. Of course, least cost than limo services money-wise, but could cost more in stress, hassle and reliability. Just consider how viable this option is and remember — getting married has stress of its own, and this is YOUR day! The more calm and collected you and your family members remain before the ceremony, the better time will be had by all!

Our driver arrived a few minutes early, was professional, courteous and got us to the airport for our early morning flight without any problem! The car was immaculate and comfortable. I especially liked the 24 hour and 2 hour trip notification that was sent via email. It was reassuring to know they were following up. I highly recommend Corporate Sedan for any transportation needs!

My company had an international artist picked up at JFK and dropped off in Philadelphia, and the artist had the best time. The driver kept in touch with me throughout the day, so we could plan for arrival, and our artist had the most wonderful experience with the driver. That’s really astounding considering our artist had just gotten off a red-eye from across the world. Thank you so very much!
