Once you get all of your wedding basics squared away, it's time to start thinking about all of the extra touches you can add to make your day totally unique! Sometimes it's hard to know what will give you the most bang for your buck and "WOW" your guests, so I narrowed it down for you!

Here are the best wedding services to add on if you have some extra room in your wedding budget!

 

1. Rentals

  

If you have some extra room in your budget add in some vintage or eclectic rentals! These will not only look spectacular, they will also provide additional seating for guests and add a unique touch to your wedding day.

 

2. Lighting

  

Having your reception professionally lit is such a great thing to add on! Not only does it add so much to your wedding photos, but it also helps set the mood, and your guests will definitely be impressed!

 

3. Extra Florals

  

I'm a huge proponent of splurging on your wedding florals. They add so much color and style to your big day. If you have some extra room in your budget considering going big with the florals on your sweetheart table, ceremony arbor, dessert display, or centerpieces.

 

4. Videography

Not having a wedding video is my biggest regret from my own wedding day. A wedding video is such a nice keepsake to have. The day goes by so fast and I promise you will treasure this video for years to come.

 

5. Musicians

  

Having musicians play during your ceremony or cocktail hour is always a nice touch that your guests will love!

 

6. Bridal Portraits

Time for bridal portraits on your wedding day is limited because there is so much to photograph in a short amount of time. Considering adding on a bridal portrait session. This will serve a great test run for your wedding ensemble and ensure you receive lots of gorgeous bridal shots.

 

7. Photo booth

It's always fun to be a little goofy! Guests always love having fun with the photo booth at receptions!

 

8. Transportation

If you have some cash to spare, go big with transportation. It's fun for the wedding party to ride together between locations on a trolley or limo. Getting a vintage getaway car is always a nice touch too!

 

9. Snacks

  

Towards the end of the night after your guests have been drinking and dancing, surprise them with late night snacks! Pizza, popcorn, tacos, and mini burgers are always big hits!

 

10. Top Shelf Bar

Guests love a top-shelf bar!  

 

11. Signage

  

Having your signage professionally done not only looks gorgeous, it also helps alert your guests to important details!

 

12. Dessert Bar

I'm a huge fan of wedding cakes but it's also fun to have some variation. Creating a dessert bar with macaroons, pies, cupcakes, ice cream, and more is always a guest favorite.

 

13. Creative Favors

  

I love creative wedding favors! Try to think of something unique to the two of you! Some of my past favorites have been home brewed beer, candles, hot sauce, and succulents.
