CRAIGSLIST FOR THE BUDGET BRIDE

Ok, let me just start by saying I know Craigslist can be somewhat scary with all the creeps out there, but let me just say that for the budget bride it can be a God send!! Craigslist has small businesses advertising for ridiculously low prices so that they may build clientel. In most cases they are even better than big brand companies that think of your day as just another paycheck. With the businesses you meet on sites like craigslist your getting companies that want to pour their heart and soul in making your event perfect so that their name will be passed and reccommended. The key is getting on craigslist and telling them exactly what you want and how much you will pay. Sound too good to be true? Check out the awesome deals  I scored of Craigslist.

Photographer:

  • All day coverage including the whole bridal party getting ready

  • A 4 hour engagement shoot and all prints edited on a cd

  • Editted photographs and rights to all pictures on a disc received 30 days after the wedding

  • Free "Trash the dress" shoot included.

Total = $460.00 (Yes, thats what I said)

Caterer:

  • Full sit down served buffet for 100 guests

  • 3 appetizers passed

  • Salad

  • Choice of thre entress

  • Vegetable and a starch

  • 3 tiered wedding cake

  • Basic linen

  • All silverware

  • Full staff team

Total = $1,500

This is just a sample of some of the savings I have scored. Not to mention all the dozens of past brides selling their left over stuff for pennies! Great right!! But please remember to never meet anyone by yourself. I always bring my fiance just to be on the safe side!!!
