Wedding Myths: Page 4 (continued...)
MYTH: Getting married at an off-site location will save money.
TRUTH: It can, but very rarely does. Off-site locations have so many additional expenses-valets, rentals, insurance, cleaning fees, security deposits, etc.—in addition to normal wedding expenses. While anything is possible, as a rule off-site weddings typically go over budget or cost more upfront that weddings held at traditional venues, and if you do end up being close to your budget, chances are you have done a lot of the work yourself and are too exhausted to enjoy yourself. Off-site venues also lend themselves to the use (and expense of) a wedding coordinator to manage all of the logistics. If this is your dream, just read all of the fine print and know what you could be getting yourself into from a planning standpoint.
MYTH: A vendor who is featured on television or in a magazine article must be respectable and be among the best of the best.
TRUTH: People end up on television and in magazines for many reasons. Many of the quotes, advice, and features you read in magazines usually incorporate the publication's advertisers into them. Most television shows are not looking for the wedding vendor, but rather they are searching for a particular look and someone who can perform on camera. Do your homework-don't let Hollywood glitz blind your judgment.
