If you are seeking helpful hints on planning a wedding, then congratulations are in order! The most important day of your life is just around the corner.

While your to-do list might seem endless at this point, just remember to take things one step at a time. Once the major decisions have been made - guest list, venue, catering and entertainment - the smaller details will all fall into place.

There are many important decisions that must be made when planning a wedding. The first step is to determine the approximate number of guests you are expecting and whether you want to hold the ceremony and reception in the same location. Next, try to decide on the nature of the event: will this be a formal, seated dinner with servers or more of a party atmosphere with cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and dancing? This will help to narrow down the venue selections by size and capacity. It is often helpful to speak to a few caterers at this point to obtain an estimate for the food and beverages. Some caterers will even assist you with renting tables, chairs, linens and decor. This will give you a good idea of the budget you are working within. You can now begin the process of loft selection. If you have specific needs, such as an outdoor space for smokers or a stage for your entertainment, then take note of these features and express them to your event planner or loft specialist. He or she will be able to direct you to the loft that is most appropriate for your event. Most importantly, enjoy the process! This is the most exciting time of your life.
