Some setbacks... some progress...

So, when I woke up yesterday and updated my daily "to-do list" I wrote:

1. contact DJ
   
2. contact photographer
   
3. contact officiant

1. So I've emailed the DJ that Tenara [our wedding coordinator from Christina's] had suggested. She gave me a list of the four most popular DJs from their venue. Unfortunately =( the top two are already booked. So upsetting.

So now I'm going to attempt to contact the others! Their website is not that convenient though and their emails aren't available -- each time I have a different name in mind, I have to fill out a generic form on their website and then wait for them to get back to me. Although, I must admit that each time they responded within the hour.

2. I've emailed Charles Lyons Photography and they've gotten back to me with a quote. This is the package:

• 6 Hours wedding day coverage unlimited locations

• Unlimited, high-resolution Digital Images on DVDs

• All Images in Color and Black & White

• All Images Individually Retouched

• Unlimited Personal Reproduction Rights

• One-Year Online Gallery for viewing images

TOTAL = $1,700.00

It just seems so outrageous! I do like the idea of having all the images on a DVD and the rights to reproduce photos as we'd like. I don't like that it doesn't come with an album though. I guess I'll have to scrapbook one.

3. I've found an officiant, Carol J. Merletti, and I think I really like her [through her website anyway!]. So I've emailed her and I'm waiting to hear back.

Hopefully, good news will come in soon and we'll be able to book more vendors! Yay!
