Boise Wedding Planning: Setting the Date

 You’re engaged! And now it’s time to choose the date and start planning. Setting a date can become stressful on its own because of the many factors involved in doing so. Some things to consider when setting a date are:
  1. You can’t please everyone. As you begin to consider dates for your wedding you will be inclined  to check with your family and friends to be sure they can “make it” on that specific date. After awhile this can become an impossible task. Consider those whom you definitely want, or even need, to be in attendance – parents, siblings, best man, maid of honor, etc. then set a date and time based on your preference and their availability. It is easier to plan around a few people than to try to please everyone.
  2. Consider your budget and the time of year.  Peak times can be much more expensive than say a Sunday afternoon or a Tuesday evening. In addition, hotels often offer discounted rates for Sunday through Thursday reservations.  Also, during certain times of year vendors can be higher priced as well. June and September tend to be the most popular months to have a wedding and are likely to have higher costs associated with venues, etc. Evening rates tend to be higher than afternoon rates too. Check with your potential sites and vendors to determine if scheduling a wedding on certain dates or at certain times will save you money in the long run.
  3. Consider the risk of an outdoor wedding during allergy season. It is possible that an outdoor wedding on a beautiful Spring day could turn into a sneeze fest. If either you or your fiancé(e) are prone to allergies, another time of year might be more practical and avoid the embarrassment of “I...achoo!...do.”
  4. Plan well in advance. Reception centers and vendors book months in advance. Select a few alternate dates and plan well enough ahead of time so that you aren’t resigned to using a vendor or location that you really don’t want.
  5. Breathe. This is your wedding and you have the final say, whether it be date, location, time, colors, food, or otherwise, stick to your guns, and BREATHE!

    "Adam was fun, professional and just a perfect pick for my daughter's
    wedding. My wife and daughter came home from the wedding fair and were certain they had found the right company in Sound Wave Music, after meeting Adam and Kristin, they were right! The entire evening went smoothly, we loved the music and the timely announcements kept everything on schedule. Adam kept the dance floor full and we literally had guests from 2 to 95 on the floor at different times, all enjoying themselves.
    Sound Wave really is a "one call" solution for professional music and
    a fun evening."    - Mark

    "Sound Wave Music is the BEST.‎ Kristin, Adam, and the team at Sound Wave did our wedding in March and we highly recommend you book them for your next event. They really cared about giving us and our guests an amazing time and even let our guests request songs weeks before they came to the wedding. They were perfect with keeping us on time and making sure that everything went smoothly and that we all had a great time!"
