The absolute first thing you should do when planning a shorter engagement is to prioritize. Both you and your partner should make a list of the most important things to you on your wedding day. Decide which aspects of the wedding day are non-negotiable and where you are willing to compromise. If you've had your eye on a certain wedding venue for the last year, your first priority should be to get that date booked! Smaller tasks, like planning decor, should be postponed until the most imporant vendors are booked. By prioritizing, you'll be able to focus on which tasks should be done immediately, and which ones can wait a few weeks.


Next, if your budget is strict, come up with a plan of action on how to stick with that budget. What items on your list are the most important? Those parts of your wedding are where the majority of your budget is going to go. If music and dancing is super important to you, then invest in a great DJ. If the food is paramount to you, invest in amazing food and catering. Finding a venue that includes decor can really help with the budget. You see where this is going.

Once priorities and budget have been set, vendors come next. Remember to be flexible with wedding vendors, as many of them may typically book out 6 months to a year in advance. The first vendor you should visit is the wedding venue. When researching Pittsburgh wedding venues for your special day, remain flexible with your wedding date. Many popular Saturday dates book up over a year in advance during peak wedding season. Kinsey Events Warehouse also offers Sunday wedding packages at a discounted rate. We also offer lots of decor for your wedding, beautiful custom-built farm tables, vintage, brass candlesticks, glass cylinders with candles, gold mirrors for seating chart, a vintage marquee sign for your welcome sign, and much more to help with your wedding budget!
