Calls: you will need to make a list of all the services you will need on your wedding day and call everyone. You want to make a list of all the companies that provide those services in the Atlanta area. Decide what you want in those services and start calling around for the most affordable services that you want at your wedding. For example, you will need a photographer for your wedding. You can look in the phone book for all the photographers that specialize in weddings. Call the ones on your list, ask them a few questions, and then make your decision of which one to go with. On your list of questions you need to ask each one if they are available for the date you are getting married. If they are already booked then you can scratch them off the list.

Consulting: You will need to be your own consultant and make appointments to order the food that will be served at your reception.

You will need to schedule an appointment with the caterers to sample some of the food that they will be serving. You will need to also make an appointment with the baker.
