Can I have a Newport R.I Wedding on a budget?

A bride came in to the Newport Wedding Gallery last weekend thinking she could not afford to get married here.

She asked

"Can I have a Newport R.I. wedding on a budget?"

Yes!


Says Event Planner Nancy Swiezy od A New York -Newport Affaire.

I have worked with society families and New York struggling actors. And the key to success is less is more, quality over quantity, a shorter guest list and booking your wedding off season. Even the time of day can make a big difference in stretching your budget.

We have some wonderful wedding solutions in Newport RI with a rental fees under $4000. And that is in high season with a water view! Be willing to do some of the vender’s jobs your self, as long as it can be done a head of time.

Ironically, with the smaller guest lists, Im seeing more luxurieous wedding venders being hired. You can have that hand made crystal incrusted invitation when your only buying 25 to 50 if them!

So keep a open and flexible mind to who, what, when,and were for your wedding will be held!

A Italian Newport Welcome Dinner


Jennifer and Steven came to me in search of the perfect location for their welcome dinner. Some thing to complement the Castle Hill wedding they were planning. So a gourmet Italian take out store turned in to a causal Sicilian get together in Newport last night!

P.S. A Green Idea. We doubled dipped and used the Chianti bottles for decor and sangria!

Is there such thing as a Perfect $$$ Bag

Talking about money can be considered some what vulgar in certain social circles. So what’s a bride to do when her guests start showering her with envelopes ?
I advised one bride to have on hand a small Tiffany bag. This way it looked like some one simple gave her a gift. You could have a small tote bag made out of the fabric from your gown. Or for a garden wedding I'm suggesting my next bride to use a small Nantucket Basket.
Presentation boxes or displays for the checks?
Its just never done at society weddings.

Tie Me Up!


Here are a couple of samples from the show
Tie Me Up!
Eight charming case sinarios for hand held bouquet holders. On the right,
He proposed on his sailboat and the mermaid said yes!

They were both Red Socks fans!
