This infographic is on 10 steps to plan perfect wedding for bride and groom based on my experience working as a event planner at Long Island wedding venue, Leonard's Palazzo.

1. 10 Steps to Plan the Perfect Wedding
1. Plan Your Budget
It’s a tough planning your wedding
without deciding the budget so
first. Put together temporary
budget figures first as a way to
look for the wedding venues and
services that will fit within this
budget. Last year's average cost
ooff aa wedding was a $28,427, with
a per person average cost of
$204. That doesn't mean you
have to spend that much but it is
an indication of just how much a
wedding reception can cost.
2. Set a Date
Once your budget is established
it's time to start making decisions
about choosing a date. This date
will determine the timetable for
organizing every single event in
the process. It will be the first
thing guests; vendors and every-one
else will want to know. Think
of the seasons, vacation time and
holidays that may impact your
guests. Plan at least a year and a
half in advance because venues
book up fast.
3. Start a Guest List
This is one of the most difficult
parts of the process because
you‘ll want to invite everyone you
know to the wedding and you
can’t invite more people than you
have to spend. Start by including
the most important people in your
li life without worrying about the
actual number of guests. Think
more about not neglecting any
one. Once you are sure you have
included everyone place them in
categories prioritized by orders
importance. Eliminating
names from the bottom
up until you get to the
number of guests
your budget can
sup port. You now
have your maximum
guest count.
4. Choose a Venue
Now that the first three tasks are
completed it’s time to start nar-rowing
your search for the perfect
wedding venues. It’s fine to take
advice from your friends and
family with experience but don’t
neglect your own research. Today
so much information is available
online it’s easy to contact Ban-quet
Halls were researching right
from home. You may want to con-sider
a venue that you that you
like and may offer amenities and
conveniences for your guests.
Contact them and ask for avail-ability
on the actual day of the
wedding, but go no further until
you visit the venue to make sure
the place is well equipped to
make your wedding party a
memorable affair
5. The Wedding Dress
Relax! Now is the time go shop-ping
for a wedding dress — one
of the most exciting parts of the
whole wedding preparation pro-cess.
Research design ideas get
as much knowledge as possible
about dresses and trends from
wedding magazines before you
start shopping. Try to avoid the
mistake of bringing an entourage
with you. Dealing with 10 different
opinions will make it much harder
to come to a decision that’s right
for you. 6. Bridal Gifts
Deciding on your bridal party gifts
is similar to planning a wedding.
Make a list of the names, deter-mine
your budget and start brows-ing
through all the online stores.
To get ideas Think of your friends’
favorite colors, hobbies and
things they like to do for fun.
7. Vendors
Choosing the right Vendor cab be
quite time-consuming if you are
not sure what you are looking for
or how to make certain the Vendor
will deliver what you want. There
are three ways you can do this.
Hire a wedding planner, contact
eeaach vendor yourself or work with
your venue’s planner, they know
all the local vendors and have
personal experiences with them..
8. Photography
The photographs of your wedding
day you will deliver beautiful
memories for the rest of your life.
To capture these moments you’ll
want to book the best wedding
photographer you can afford.
Whatever your budget do not over-look
the personality of the pho-tographer—
it can make or break
the day. If you are on a budget
you are better off spending your
money on the merits and quality
of the photographer rather than
on expensive albums another
photographic products. Those can
always be made later.
9. Menus
High quality Banquet Halls will work
with you on menu planning, espe-cially
catering halls in Long Island.
Try to find the happy medium be-tween
what you would please your
guests and how much you can
afford. Many couples lean towards
a menu typical of the culture of the
families, that’s fine but don’t be shy
about experimenting.
10. Transportation
Choosing the right transportation
vendor is critical. Being punctual
and reliable along with possess-ing
a detailed knowledge of the
location will assure you and your
bridal party will be on time for
every planned event of the day.
HHeere again, your venue planner
can be of great help.
