How To Minimize Your Stress When Planning Bay Area LGBTQ Weddings

By Scott Hamilton


If you are living in the Bay area and you want to get married you have many amazing options to choose from. Bay area LGBTQ weddings can be meaningful and romantic. Part of what makes them so stunning is the beautiful surroundings that can be easy to find in this part of the country. Whether you want to marry your partner in a laid back, relaxed setting or you want a more formal event, here are some things to think about when you are planning your wedding.

While some couples jump right into planning without setting a budget this can be a bad move unless you have a lot of money available for you to spend. Deciding how much you can afford to spend can help you avoid a lot of stress and worry as time goes on. While some couples may be tempted to take out a loan in order to afford their dream wedding you need to consider whether or not this could cause problems for you at a later date.

Different couples will likely imagine their celebrations in very different ways. Do you know whether you want to have a more formal event or one that is a lot more organic and lower key. One thing to think about is how to incorporate aspects of your relationship and the things that are significant to you and your partner into your ceremony or your reception. This could include hobbies that you and your partner have or details about certain places that you have visited.

Setting your date is an important step. While it used to be tradition to set your date and then plan your wedding that is changing. Many couples are making some basic decisions about where they want to get married and exploring their options before they firm up their date.

One recent trend that a lot of couples are embracing is to plan more than just a wedding and reception. If you are someone who has friends and family who live out of town you may want to think of ways to extend your celebration and show off the best aspects of the Bay area. Planning day trips to favorite locations or other activities can be a lot of fun.

Of course, you don't need a huge celebration if that isn't what you and your partner had hoped for. An increasing number of couples are also choosing to tie the knot either by eloping or by having a small, intimate ceremony in a location that is meaningful to them. If that is the case with you and your partner, it may be much easier to find a venue that is perfect for your needs.

While you may be tempted to do the planning yourself, this may not be the best route, especially if you are not from the Bay area. A planner who has worked with LGBTQ couples may be able to help you find unique sites for your ceremony or reception. They may also be able to put you in touch with service providers who are happy to work with LGBTQ couples.

While you may want to rush out and make as many of the decisions as you can as quickly as possible this may only end up making you feel stressed. By starting early, breaking down the planning into manageable steps and taking your time before making decisions you may be amazed at how relaxed and enjoyable the planning process can be.
