We were excited to hear event coordinator, LaDawn Williams, to talk about budgeting weddings and what’s involved in coming up with a realistic budget goal.  Armed with statistics and a Powerpoint presentation, LaDawn explains that a starting price for a wedding is around $22,000 (not including rings, honeymoon, dinner rehearsal, and other pre and post wedding costs).  What LaDawn emphasized is having a wedding coordinator will most often help clarify your specific needs for a wedding and to help with even negotiating with vendors.  Among the guests was a bride-to-be.  What was so important about this meeting was to help educate both bride and vendor relationships.  CWA members had the opportunity to ask questions to brides about why she picked a specific vendor.  Vendors on the other hand learned when it is the best time to follow up with a bride and how often to do so.  This is just one of the benefits of joining the California Wedding Association: vendors helping each other succeed!
