When going to a venue to decide where your wedding or special event should be hosted, consider what your package includes. Before putting down your payments, consider the following questions: Are you already paying for linens? Do you like the cake? Are you finding yourself looking at outside resources for things you want to change about the venue you are about to use? A helpful hint is to use all of the things they provide that you’re already paying for, then add your accented touches to your event for a cheap price.

An example of saving money on things you don’t like that the venue provides in packages, is bringing in simple things of your own.

                                   

Here is an example of personalizing your wedding cake. Here at Bobak’s Signature Events, we provide a pastry chef to design your wedding cake. This bride brought in fabric of her own to add to the cake. This way, the cake matched the theme with items that the chef does not provide. Instead of going to a different pastry chef outside of the venue, you can save money by bringing in your own touches.

Another thing to remember: Making your cake too fancy will eventually result in you not eating it at all. Too much drapery or fondant will make the cake inedible. Keep your cake simple and classy.
