You go to a hockey game and you are going to see all sorts of advertisements for businesses all around the ice. This is expected as they pay a lot of money to be seen! You should not see this type of advertising at a wedding reception.

How many people will be attending your wedding?

Some people are surprised when one of the first questions I ask them is, "What is your expected headcount?" They may answer, "What does that have to do with anything?" I remember a gentleman on the phone that really got bothered by my asking this question! He didn't understand that it was needed so I could give him a price quote. With this info, I know how many hours of music and dancing one can expect, and how much lighting I'll need, as well as other party props.
