Amazingly picturesque Tennessee is the perfect place to hold a wedding. Rolling hills, elegant mansions, historic plantations and beautiful outdoor settings make for fantastic backdrops to your special day. The lovely Tennessee weather also means that you won’t have to worry about your wedding day being ruined. Tennessee’s wedding industry has a great reputation and so you won’t find any shortage of first class wedding vendors to ensure your wedding day goes without any problems.
The food and reception will typically take up about half the expenses of holding a wedding. Therefore, you want to make sure that you are working with the right wedding vendors. One decision that you will need to make is whether to work with an in house or outhouse caterer. Some venues will have their own in house caterers. The advantage of this choice is that it will be one less consideration that you need to think about. Venues may also have a list of caterers that they prefer to work with. Again this can make organizing your catering a little easier. If you do work with an approved vendor you should still vet them yourself to make sure that they meet your expectations. The other choice is to hire an outhouse caterer. This will give you a wider selection of catering firms that you can choose from. When selecting a caterer you should look at the price, menu options, packages and presentation styles.
Another key Tennessee weddings services vendor that you will need to work with is your photographer. The photos that they take will impact how you remember your special day for the rest of your life. Therefore you want to make sure that the photos they are taking will meet your expectations. Communication with your photographer is key. They should be able to advise you about the type of clothes and locations which will make you look your best. Having a physical office is a good sign when selecting a wedding photographer. An office is an indication that they are in the wedding photography business for the long term and rely on the reputation that they have built up. Check their portfolio carefully before making a decision as personal photographic styles can differ significantly.
