Philadelphia Wedding Planning: Planning a Wedding in Philadelphia
If you're in the midst of some serious Philadelphia wedding planning, keep reading for five great tips that are full of local resources sure to make your wedding planning experience simple and enjoyable.
Hit the Bridal Shows
If you're short for time or big on efficiency, hitting up a local bridal show is a great way to meet and evaluate hundreds of Philadelphia wedding companies, venues, photographers, DJ's and more in one day and under one roof.
Bridal Event (http://bridalevent.com) seems to have the monopoly on bridal shows in the Philadelphia area and hosts a number of seasonal bridal expos and wedding shows across Pennsylvania and surrounding states. Check their website for upcoming dates, times and locations.
Get Your Photography Permits
While Philadelphia is chock full of perfect wedding photography locations (the Art Museum, Longwood Gardens, LOVE Park), make sure that you don't need a permit beforehand. Otherwise you could wind up having your wedding day photo session shut down sooner than you planned.
For example, to shoot on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, you need a special advance permit from the Fairmount Park Commission and it costs $50 an hour. So, do your homework and be prepared.
Get Online
If you're in the midst of Philadelphia wedding planning, you need to get online and make your life easier. Try a national wedding website like TheKnot (http://theknot.com) or a local site like PA Brides (http://pabrides.com) to connect with vendors, other brides in your area or research wedding ideas.
Websites that offer forums or message boards are a great way to get referrals from other brides, bounce ideas around and get inspiration from other brides in the Philadelphia area.
Hire a Local Planner
Of course the “city of love” is home to piles of well-qualified wedding planners. So, if you need someone to take over the whole process or just a one-hour consultation to help with budgeting or other plans, check the yellow pages or the websites listed above for a recommended, local planner.
Popular companies include The Wedding Factor, Megan Kennedy Events and I Do Wedding Consulting.
Subscribe to Philadelphia Wedding Magazine
Though only a quarterly publication, Philadelphia Wedding magazine is a great, local resource that not only includes pertinent local articles, but also advertisements for local vendors and service providers.
So, instead of flipping aimlessly through the pages of national bridal magazines, you can get all your Philadelphia wedding planning done with a magazine that caters to the region.
