Wedding Booking Season, What is it??? Part 3
We continue on with Part 3 of “Wedding Booking Season, What Is It?” and help you understand the frenzy of Wedding Planning come January & how to better navigate through it…to get the services you want!
Ok, so January – March is “Wedding Booking Season”, so where and how do I start booking?
This time of year is called “Wedding Show Season” because you can pretty much find & attend a Wedding Show nearly every day of the week (if you had the energy!). Wedding Shows are A GREAT WAY to begin the search and get a feel for most Wedding services! Most Wedding Shows in the NJ area are often FREE TO ATTEND (awesome right?) and will offer a variety of DJs and Bands, Photographers, Videographers, Limousine, Invitation, Bridal Shops, Favors, Florists … and more!
At a show, there’s plenty of time to walk around and visit the services you’d like some basic information on and is a great way to “feel out” what you like and who you wish to make appointments to sit down with for more one on one information.
Most all shows will also feature performance segments, from a Band and/or DJ Company, to showcase just a bit of their entertainment services. Though you’ll find several Band & DJs to talk with at Wedding Shows, not every one of them will have a performance segment… and many times it’s not necessary because true knowledge, passion, professionalism, energy & enthusiasm are all quite obvious from the very first conversation with some entertainment professionals! :-)
Shows can be held an an expo hall, or most commonly in our area, are held at Wedding venues that provide a bit more of a show experience and are typically smaller in size than an Expo Hall show.
If the show is held at a venue, you’ll also have the chance to enjoy a cash bar, possibly sample food from their menu, and even view that venue as an option for your Wedding!! At some shows, you may even get to see a Dress/Formal Wear Fashion Show AND even win some door prizes from Wedding services or even a vacation!!!! (The idea of sampling great food and possibly winning a honeymoon vacation are usually great reasons to get grooms to attend
And now you’re thinking; “Where do I find Shows?”
