I would definitely suggest getting a good wedding planner (a book, not a person). All of my friends who have hired fancy wedding consultants have been upset because they didn't get to do everything they wanted. I got mine for $15 at Barnes and Noble, and it's fantastic. We're going next week to look at the 2 places we're looking at for the ceremony and reception
And yes, TriDeltaGal, it's a lot of work. I know I'm going to end up waiting until at least June to make a lot of big decisions!
