Are you planning your wedding budget and looking for ways cut costs? Savings can be substantial with a Do It Yourself Wedding reception.

Helping friends with their wedding receptions led me to start Frugally Fabulous Fetes Consulting: we assisted brides (and their moms) through every stage of planning for their self catered wedding reception. And, on the day of the event we were there to coordinate the setup, serving and clean up.

From all those experiences we compiled Frugally Fabulous Wedding Receptions; a comprehensive guide with extensive organizational information, recipes (already modified for large servings) buffet layouts, and task lists; everything you need to plan a do it yourself wedding reception. You can have a well organized event which looks professional and elegant - and your guests will never suspect it is a budget wedding reception. Many musicians and photographers commented about the professional presentation and tastes of the food served at our client's functions - and they have worked from the simplest to most elaborate functions.

Our clients have planned events ranging from 25 to 300 guests and found that catering your own wedding is very manageable using our guide.

Let us show you where to start and then take you through every step of your Frugally Fabulous Wedding Reception.

Our clients have self catered their own parties, school and church fund raisers, family reunions, and wedding receptions.  We have included the recipes they rave about, the worksheets, planning tools, and guides used during our years of assisting them.

This book Provides answers to every conceivable question regarding the planning, set-up, scheduling and management of your event. These answers are the tools to your stress free function.

This will be your guide in planning and organizing your function.
