My Wife and I are Robert and Elizabeth, when we were married; my family threw together a wedding in 1 week’s time. They had found out we were going to elope, because we did not have the money to put together a proper wedding. We were upset because this was our wedding, My wife, whom grew up in foster care system, had thought about her wedding day all her life. When the time came, we could not afford it. My family could not afford a big wedding either, but they put together the most memorable low cost wedding they could provide. It was planned, dealt with, and accomplished again in 1 week’s time. After our Wedding day, we looked back and remembered how everyone came together to make sure we had a day that was about us, not about the cost, or the settings, or the arrangement. With this in mind, “coming together”, We created The Practical Wedding and Event Company. Please read on to see our goals and vision. We want to help others who were and are just like us.
Think back to when you got married, were you stinking rich? If that answer was No, then you've experienced the Struggle, and know that the struggle is real. As a bride, planning her wedding day, did you have everything planned out and it go just as you planned? Did you constantly have to degrade your special day because something was too expensive, or you didn’t have enough funds to cover that exact arrangement of flowers you wanted?
People get married every day, every hour. Some folks don't even hassle with a wedding because they think they cannot afford it. We at The Practical Wedding and Event Company know that the Struggle is Real. We understand that your perfect wedding does not have to be expensive to be memorable.
We help a bride and groom plan their wedding according to their goals as well as their budget. Most weddings can be done for $1000 or less. But what happens when you have less than that? We help couples find a way to make it special even on a shoestring budget. We take the “ifs, ands or buts” out the equation and deliver a beautiful day regardless. But for us to do this, we are lacking in certain areas.
We have been doing events for 3 years now. We help provide Videography, Photography, Sound, as well as help with the invitations, programs, set up and break down. My wife and I have been doing all of this out of our little home office.
We want to expand our Practical Wedding and Event Company. Our reach is not to reach the world, But to change the World of each individual couple who seeks out help and understanding.
Our goals are:
1. Create a storefront facility, where people can come in and receive a consultation.
2. Create a Studio in that facility for Photography
3. Purchase supplies and equipment to keep costs down.
4. Create an environment worthy of creative design.
5. Help facilitate a website so that more people can find the options they need.
6. Create new jobs for people in our area.
7. Bring about Change in the thoughts that weddings and events have to be expensive to be memorable
We have applied for Small Business loans, but because we are “The Practical Wedding and Event Company”, we do not create the amount of revenue that the lenders would like to see. If we were knocking down $150,000 a year, we would not be looking for funding.
Our goals are not to make bushels of money, but to help those who need the help. We feel that every Wedding Day can be, and should be, perfect.
Once we have achieved our Goals of opening up the Facility, we want to expand farther and open several Practical Wedding and Event Companies in other areas. Because every bride deserves her special day and it not cost her first born child from her marriage. Ha Ha!
