Ask the Patch Pro: Wedding Planning on a Budget

It's time for another edition of Ask the Patch Pro, where each week readers get to interact with professionals by asking questions on a wide variety of topics. Our team of experts stop in to help you out and answer your questions.

This week, we've teamed up with Susie Stegemann, owner of Stegton Regency Banquet Center for 30 years, who will take questions about planning an event on a limited budget.

Stegemann has worked in the event planning industry for 30 years and says she’s worked with couples who have every kind of budget. She said in the last several years brides have been inspired by tv shows that feature weddings and come in with ideas that don’t match the money they have available to spend.

In those cases, Stegemann says she offers advice for making their budget match their vision, and sometimes being more realistic about what’s possible.

Stegemann will answer reader questions in the comment section of this article on Wednesday, Sept. 4
