What To Consider When Planning Bay Area LGBTQ Weddings

By Scott Hamilton


Planning a wedding can be a lot of fun but the process can also involve a lot of stress and worry. Bay Area LGBTQ weddings are no exception to this rule, and many couples wonder how to get the celebration of their dreams without completely blowing their budget. If you are planning your own celebration here are some tips and tricks you may be able to use.

While some couples jump right into planning without setting a budget this can be a bad move unless you have a lot of money available for you to spend. Deciding how much you can afford to spend can help you avoid a lot of stress and worry as time goes on. While some couples may be tempted to take out a loan in order to afford their dream wedding you need to consider whether or not this could cause problems for you at a later date.

Something else to consider is what kind of celebration you want to have. Do you want a formal event or do you like the idea of something more relaxed and laid back. An increasing number of LGBTQ couples are embracing less traditional celebrations that incorporate aspects of them as a couple. Incorporating these details can help make your wedding much more personal and memorable.

Once you have a few ideas about your celebration you can set your date. Waiting until you know where you want to marry before setting your date may seem odd but if you love the idea of being outdoors or if you want to use a seasonal location you may have specific times of the year that would be a better choice. Some venues also change their pricing based on the time of year which can affect your budget.

If you want your celebration to last longer than one day you'll be happy to learn that it is becoming increasingly common for people to plan multi-day celebrations. You may want to consider doing the same thing especially if you want to help your out of town guests enjoy the Bay area. You may want to choose outings and activities that tie in with the theme of your wedding as a way of tying the entire experience together.

While your family may be pushing you to have a large celebration where all of your family is present, this is not always what a couple may want. If you would like a smaller, more intimate celebration you should feel free to plan that kind of wedding. If you want to come up with a compromise, you may want to explore the idea of planning a larger party after.

Working with a wedding planner can be a great idea regardless of whether you want a large celebration or a smaller event. It may not be a bad idea to work with someone whose business has an LGBTQ positive designation. If you have friends who recently tied the knot and they used a planner, it may be a good idea to find out who they used.

While you may want to rush out and make as many of the decisions as you can as quickly as possible this may only end up making you feel stressed. By starting early, breaking down the planning into manageable steps and taking your time before making decisions you may be amazed at how relaxed and enjoyable the planning process can be.
