"Hi I'm Donna Barnes I'm a life and dating coach and owner of NY Dating Coach here in New York City. In this clip we'll talk about how to have an inexpensive wedding and weddings as we all know have gotten so ridiculously expensive and out of hand. And one great tip is when you call a caterer or a florist and people like that, do not tell them that it's for a wedding. Tell them that you are throwing a party. Because as soon as you tell them it's a wedding, they jack up the price and it's a different price. Even though they are providing the same service. So when you call these people tell them that it's a party that you are planning. And secondly with flowers you don't have to go crazy and ridiculous, if you really just do some simple nice things then if it's not over the top there's definitely ways you can make center pieces for yourself. And little homemade things that you can get your bridesmaid together and have a fun party night and put those things together yourself can really save you a lot of money. Less guests is definitely a way to save money and a buffet rather then a sit down meal is definitely a lot less expensive. So and maybe a free location helps too. This is Donna Barnes from New York City."
