First step: banquet and reception halls

Location, location, location. To choose a reception site, start researching some of the banquet and reception halls in your area by searching through our Local Vendors list. If you already have a theme in mind for your wedding, pay close attention to the style and decor of the site to ensure your theme flows throughout both the ceremony and reception. Don't worry if you haven't picked out your theme just yet; many banquet and reception halls have a look and feel that may inspire the theme for your wedding. Exploring the Joyful Events Planner website for photos is a good place to start.

Joyful Events offers a variety of traditional ceremony items that fall under both the Hispanic and American traditions. For example, the Hispanic wedding photos on our site can give you a detailed look at traditional Hispanic Catholic wedding accessories such as the "arras" for the coin exchange ceremony. Visitors can also partake in the American tradition of lighting the unity candles by choosing from our collection of wedding unity candles. By using the Joyful Events Product Finder, you won't have a problem finding the Catholic wedding accessories, tiaras, or bridemaid dresses you're looking for.

Another big step in the process is finding a photographer. If you're planning an elaborate wedding full of Hispanic traditions, you'll certainly want to capture those memories on camera. Think of it as a way to preserve those unique moments with the ability to share them with friends and family when the day has ended. What's more, you can keep these Hispanic wedding photos for years to come, so that if your children want to incorporate the traditions in their weddings, they have pictures to reference.

Many companies have designed the most unique packaging ideas for party favors and decoration supplies. The best part is that the creativity in party favors has brought forth a number of easy ways to make these small gifts. For instance, affordable wedding party favors such as satin or organza bags are often used to hold small candies. For larger party favors such as wine, there are large organza bags that make an excellent gift wrap for uniquely shaped items. Finally, to top off your affordable wedding party favors, attach a personalized printed ribbon to mark the couples' name and wedding date.
