Are you ready for your 2012 wedding?

Today is New Year's Eve 2011 and I am preparing for my last bridal meeting of the year and my last wedding ceremony of the year, both happening later this afternoon. 2011 has been a great year for Rich Events. One December 26, 2011 we entered a new phase of marketing with television commercials airing in the Nashville market. The ad is also available to view on my website at www.RichEvents.com or on www.LadakProductions.com which is the website of my primary photography and media partner.

In the early days of 2011 we gained great attention and success with our Valentine's Day wedding chapel event at Belmont Mansion. We are actively working on the 2012 version of this event but this time we will introduce a mass wedding at Eastland Baptist Church along side our Belmont Mansion ceremonies.

January is always the busiest season of the year for phone calls and emails from recently-engaged brides who are starting the process of planning their wedding. Wedding venues and vendors start booking up popular dates early so brides, you need to get ahead of the planning process. May and October are the most popular months of the year for weddings so if those are your preferred months, you need to reach out to vendors and venues as soon as possible!

Rev. Brandon Rich of Rich Events operates wedding venues in Nashville, TN at Belmont Mansion, Eastland Baptist Church and leads a team of wedding officiants serving weddings throughout the mid-South region. www.RichEvents.org

Supporting my "Friendors"

Kellie Bryson, President
Main Event Productions

I cannot claim ownership of the word "friendor" but I wish that I could. Kellie Bryson of Main Event Productinos was the first person I heard using that term. Her event business encompasses A Catered Affair, The Bake Shoppe and two Nashville area event venues; Events at 1418 and Legacy Farms. She is my primary preferred caterer and cake designer for Belmont Mansion and I am her preferred officiant provider for her two venues.

I am excited to attend the open house at Legacy Farms tonight. I officiated at this venue in its previous life when it bore a different name under different ownership. I would encourage you to visit www.LegacyFarmsTN.com and learn all about this great location.

To learn more about all of the officiating and coordinating services that I provide and the two venues that I manage please visit www.RichEvents.org.

Are you ready to book your 2011 wedding?

Today is December 27, 2010 and it is 8:29 pm. I am sitting in my studio office at Belmont Mansion getting ready for the annual avalance of wedding calls that will hit soon. You see, nearly half of all proposals and engagements happen during the holiday season between Christmas and New Years Day. The next bump is Valentine's Day. Many of my remaining available dates for 2011 will dissapear in the next 6 to 7 weeks, starting on January 2--when the holidays are over. Just tonight I got the first email from a bride who had gotten engaged over Christmas. So, for any of you brides who find yourself reading this blog entry, I have some suggestions. First, think Rich Events for all your officiating, coordinating and wedding venue needs :) ...I know, shameless self promotion. But seriously, the most popular dates fill up quickly and those would be Saturdays in May, late September and October. There are weddings all 12 months of the year, but not in the volume as those times. So, if you are one of those May/September/October brides, don't waste precious time! Find your venues and put down deposits and sign contracts as fast as you can. If you are interested in a March, April or November wedding you'll find a lot more opportunities for open dates. Also, you may get the month you want if you are willing to take a Friday or a Sunday instead of the coveted Saturday.
