Below are some great links and resources available online to help you plan the details of your special event!

Party Planning

Party 411.  This Website has an abundance of ideas and tools for planning birthday parties, anniversaries, bridal showers, corporate events, holidays, and much more.  Their  “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” attitude may either charm or annoy, but the advice here is both creative and practical.

Wedding Planning

Buffalo Brides.  This site was created by The Buffalo News and is tailored specifically to Buffalo weddings.  Lots of articles, advice, and links to Buffalo vendors. 

The Ultimate Wedding Planner.  This site has much helpful advice about planning your wedding.  Topics include budgeting, invitations, obtaining a marriage license, choosing vendors, selecting music, and much more.

The Wedding Gazette.  This is a huge national site that covers every conceivable topic related to weddings. 
Some good info about ceremony music, particularly for Catholic weddings. 

Wedding Details.   Large, exceptionally well organized, and easy to navigate.  Covers everything from wedding etiquette to food selection to honeymoon planning.  Also feature a wonderful section on the role of tradition and lore at weddings.  

Getting Remarried.  This unique site addresses the issues and needs of those getting married for the second time.

Music

Ceremony and Reception Music.  This is a good place to hear more samples of wedding music.  We prefer the ceremony selections to the reception choices, but it’s all worth a listen. 

Musicnotes.com.  Hands-down the best place to find sheet music, for weddings or otherwise, on the Internet.  Each piece of music can be “played” with a click of the mouse. Some music can be printed-out , for a fee, from your own printer.  The secret weapon of the String Brothers (ok, it’s not so secret anymore!).

Classical Net.  We confess, this site has absolutely nothing to do with weddings or parties, but if you love classical music or would like to learn more about it, this is the place to go. 

A Passion for Jazz.  If you’d like to learn more about jazz, this is the place.

Ceremonies and Religion

Protestant Wedding Traditions.  Another good guide from The Wedding Details Website.

Roman Catholic Weddings.  A good, basic guide to the Roman Catholic Wedding from the Wedding Details Website.

Guide to the Jewish Wedding Ceremony.   This excellent article will help you learn more about the meaning of Jewish wedding ceremonies.
