Re: Wedding Venues in LA/OC (southern california)
^^^SGC youve nailed it…wonderful…i am learning as well…i ve got my wedding planning binder all worked up…andf i ve narrowed my search down for the photographers/videographers/florists/etc…and i have come down to this
Florists $1500
Photographer $2000 for a 4 hr event including the hr before the arrival coverage..and the album of my choice. (plus 500 edited prints and online access with 4 enlargements and a bridal shoot.)
Videographers–$1200—2 for 4 hrs with 5 copies of the DVD (edited with music of my choice)
Makeup–$200 --including mehndi,hair and dupatta setup
i am having the stage decorated by a desi event planner…he is the only one who hasnt given me a quote yet… 
because he wants to go see the venue before he can name his price!! i was like..whaaaat? i emailed him samples of stages i found on gupshup…and he s like..'no i vant to see theee place fast" i was like oki…
venues…hmmm thats where i ran into some trouble…if i decide to get a private hall or something of that sort…i will run into extra cost of decorating it…
so i thought what if the place was pretty…and i can get away with min. decor…it will be enough…so…i talked to adolphus in dallas…and the mediterranean villa…were my top 2 choices…so lets see…we are going to check them out after new years…
oh and i found a cool site that shows bridal makeup being done by some makeup artist…here it is..
