Questions from Brides and Grooms . .

We cannot afford to pay $49.95 per person for a three course dinner at our reception.  Do you have suggestions on how to reduce this cost?

Response . . Get married in the morning.  The least expensive FULL MEAL that you can serve your guests is breakfast or brunch.  Go to your hometown dinner, look at the menu.  Waffles, pancakes and scrambled eggs cost a lot less than burgers or steak.  And here's the best part about having a morning reception . . the only alcoholic beverage that you have to purchase is a glass of champagne for each guest for the toast to the Bride and Groom.  People do not expect an open bar or a disc jockey or an elaborate wedding cake at 11AM in the morning.

Omelet, fresh fruit, toast, and a cup of coffee.
