The wedding planning and catering industry is a multi-billion dollar business. If you could find a special and unique way to cater to some part of the wedding or maybe even the whole wedding, I think you could make good money. There are companies like the Orange County Catering company called the Bashful Butler who specialize in larger events and weddings. Competition in sections of a wedding is competitive, but with a little thinking, I believe it would be easy to make money out of people getting married.

Maybe you could combine a couple of things that would make planning easier with you, instead of hiring several different people to do it. You have a baker for the cake and you have the rehearsal dinner, right? Now those are two separate things that 2 people or businesses get to take advantage of. Now if you make food and could serve it for a large group of people, you might as well learn how to make a few cakes too. I wouldn’t stop with just these two portions of a wedding. Maybe adding in a 3rd service, like a band, dj, music, or entertainment area? You have a restaurant, what’s the harm in adding a stage or sound system? Let your customers listen to music while they enjoy their dinners. You could find a way to put your music sound system on wheels and be there for the bride and groom for their party after the ceremony. Now you have a company that can bring in the music, supply food, and bake the cake as well. So you could have your cake and eat it too, if you were in the wedding business!

There are more than enough web design firms where price and ability are vastly different.In order to choose the right vendor who is going to meet your specific needs, you need to sit down with them and go over their capabilities and what they have done for other companies.Companies that understand marketing trends and that can help you spot the right one will be invaluable to your business. Since these companies are in the design you would expect that their websites are designed to impress. So I would not go based on the look of the front page alone. You need to understand what they will do in house versus sending to an outside firm. For example, do they have the resources and knowledge to not only give you the front end appeal, but also be able to design the back end database and tracking tools to help you succeed.
