March Madness

So no, this posting isn't about basketball. Another month has come and gone. This month is a bit crazier than last month. So far, the planning process has slowed down a bit. Researching and meeting with vendors is definitely time consuming.

Videography
D and I have pretty much made a decision on this already. We just have to contact the videographer to let them know. I'll post who we've chosen once the contracts have been squared away. Picking a videographer wasn't as easy as we thought it would be. Then again, I think D and I are just too nice sometimes. We think about how so-and-so is so nice, etc. Ultimately, being "nice" doesn't help us too much. Anyway, like I said, I'll post who we've chosen probably by the end of this week.

Side note, for those who have time, check out these two awesome videographers: Still Motion (based in Toronto) and Jason Magbanua (based in the Philippines). Their stuff is nice *dreamy sigh*

Catering
Yay! D has sent some emails out! Hooray! :) We're finally getting the ball rolling with the catering stuff. It doesn't look like we'll be going for Fuel or Gastropod because 1. they don't have a catering license and 2. they require a kitchen where they can prepare the food. One of ways we may be able to work things out is if we go for a buffet reception. However, having attended a wedding recently that had a buffet reception, D and I prefer a sit down dinner more. We're currently in contact with two caterers: Sugar Mountain Catering and Metropolitan Hotel (Diva). The Metropolitan Hotel did the catering for my co-worker's super awesome wedding. So we thought we should contact them and find out more info since they seem super experienced with catering.

So little bit of advice for everyone... If you plan to get married someday and you're hoping to have something on the nicer side or maybe you're very particular, start doing mini-researches on the side. I didn't look too much into videography and catering prior to the engagement. That's why it's taking up a lot of time now. Luckily we still have over a year to plan the wedding. I can't imagine how stressful planning would be if we chose to get married this year! It's good to be prepared :)

With videography soon to be out of my plate, I'll be tackling flowers and decoration. Things may go a bit slowly though for the month of April. Why? Because it's income tax time :(
