Here is a checklist you could use: 1. Space - will it fit other things, apart from wedding guests, table and chairs. 2. Catering - in-house or outside, styles of menu 3. Decors - appropriate decorations to suit your wedding theme 4. Do they have proper liquor license, can you bring in your own booze without having to pay extra 5. Adequate coat check, parking, restrooms, etc 6. Will the venue be exclusively yours for the day? 7. Can you bring: your own photographer, videographer, DJ, bands, etc. Sometimes the venue has a tie up with in-house vendors and you might be forced to use them. 8. Does the venue have changing rooms, baby care rooms. 9. What does the rental cost include: does that cost account for overtime charges, decorations, cleaning up, etc 10. If the venue is outdoors, is there a plan B location in case of rains 11. Payment schedule: onetime down payment or instalments 12. Cancellation charges I guess, this should be enough to trigger some questions of your own.

Hi Angel, Congratulations! I know just the person photo/videographer who has 15+ years of experience and charges only for the travel expenses to the destination. My BFF found him perfect for her budget wedding. Well, his idea is to get a vacation once a while and click great photos while he is at it. I'm sure this combo will work great for you. Visit the link to get more idea about his work. Good luck!!

You won't believe DeAngelis, but you are in luck! I know a photographer/videographer who charges ONLY for travel expenses for his destination wedding assignments. Thus, you pay nothing for your wedding photos. You can visit his site and judge for yourself. Hope I was of help!

We wanted Michael Weiler to do our wedding pics, but he was unfortunately booked for the date So I hired Launi Studios from Montreal. And I'm glad I did. He was excellent with both photos and videos. You could give him a try.

Search for Enrique Launi in google. His website is the first one to be listed. You won't be disappointed.

Hi Mastar, Why not try someone else who has experience at videographing Destination weddings? The best alternative to finding a videographer at Cabo would be to hire someone who has decent pricing and creative idea to shoot a fast paced wedding with the beachy backdrop. I don't know anyone from Cabo, but I do know a photographer from Toronto (Launi Studios) who might be interested. Various packages to suit every budget.

Hi Essential0929, Congratulations on your wedding! There is always a rift when you introduce school friends to college friends. The school friend might always feel she knows you better and for a longer time than the friends who came in later in life. To solve problems between your friends, you have to introduce all your bridesmaids face-to-face, so that they are comfortable with each other and do not have awkward moments on the day of the wedding. It is important that they get to know each other better BEFORE your wedding. They will be your right and left hands on the day of your wedding and you naturally don't want to add stress to yourself regarding their tiffs on the day of the wedding. So my suggestion is, take some time off and get the girls together on a casual lunch. The conversation is also important. You have to keep everybody in the loop, so that the other doesn't feel left out. Tough job girl! But you can do it. The sooner, the better Good luck!!!

Hi Donna, Congrats on your wedding!! Don't know if you have already chosen your photographer... My cousin got married in Mexico and she had hired Launi Studios (Montreal). Her's was a simple wedding, but he did an excellent job. He was especially great with capturing 'the moments' photos as well as creative with candid photographs. I would like to suggest one thing though.... This is one special day of your life. Wouldn't you want to immortalize every moment of it through photos...? No matter how simple the ceremony is, years later you would definitely want to look back at it. So do not compromise yet Happy planning and congrats!!!
