We are getting married in August in Dana Point. We are on a strict budget and I am trying to figure everything out. My FI is being very helpful but I am still incredibly overwhelmed. I don't even know where to begin with so many things. We already have our ceremony and reception venues. Our reception is going to be in my Aunt's back yard in Laguna Beach. I am trying to find a valet, caterer, dj, and photographer. I have one photographer that I like, but everything seem so daunting. I have about 7 other names but I don't know how to compare them. Our ceremony is at 1pm and the reception is going to be around 3:30 or 4. We don't plan on having a full dinner as there will not be enough room for everyone to sit down at once. I'd like to have cocktail reception with heavy appetizers. Can anyone suggest any good food ideas/caterers for about $15 a person (110ish people)? We'd also like an affordable DJ and Valet. As I said, the whole thing feels so daunting....
Thank you in advance.
