Step by Step Guide to Planning Your Wedding.

Planning a wedding can be a daunting task, but with a bit of organization and a step-by-step approach, you can make sure that your big day is everything you've ever dreamed of. Here's a step-by-step guide to planning your wedding: 

1. Set a budget:

The first step in planning a wedding is setting a budget. Determine how much you're willing to spend on your wedding and allocate funds accordingly. 

2. Create a guest list:

Once you have a budget in place, create a guest list. This will help you to determine the size of the venue you'll need and the amount of food and drink you’ll need to provide. 

3. Choose a date and venue:

Decide on a date and choose a venue for your wedding. Keep in mind the availability of your desired venue and the schedules of your guests. 

4. Hire a wedding planner: 

Consider hiring a wedding planner to help you with the planning process. A wedding planner can take care of all the logistics, leaving you free to focus on the more important aspects of the wedding.

5. Choose a wedding party:

Decide on who will be in your wedding party and ask them to be a part of your special day. 

6. Select your vendors:

Once your venue is picked out you can start looking into vendors for your wedding, such as a caterer, florist, and photographer. Meet with each vendor to discuss your vision of your perfect wedding.

Matthew Cope

Cope Entertainment began in 1997 at Pioneer High School in San Jose, California. A clever senior by the name of Matthew Cope decided he would start playing music in the quad for his fellow students during their lunch breaks. It wasn’t long before Matthew found himself accepting invitations to play and entertain at house parties across the Bay Area. After graduation, Matthew spent two years exploring graphics and arts before he moved on to earn his bachelor’s degree in philosophy. During this time, he continued to pursue his interest in music and entertainment. Matthew focused on producing and performing at a wide variety of occasions, including weddings, large corporate events and high-end celebrations. Before he knew it, his passion project had expanded into a promising profession with an extensive network of colleagues and opportunities. In 2004, Matthew respectfully declined his acceptance into San Francisco State University’s Graduate Program; he had fallen in love with playing music, hosting events, and his firstborn child. Matthew realized he could utilize his natural talent and enthusiasm for event entertainment to help others create their own fun and memorable experiences. He founded Cope Entertainment in 2010 to continue sharing his passion for the art of celebration every day of the year.
