	Party Budget
	Hall Rental	If you want flexibility and great rates for your occasion, often the best choice is to rent a venue with ample space, banquet chairs, tables, and convenient hours. The first step of any party is choosing the date and securing the venue. Now its time for invitations.
	Invitations	Choose something elegant or do it yourself. Find smart ways to save money by email cards, smart text messages, social networks, or phone call. Please feel free to ask for direction cards to include in the mail or you may copy and paste it from our website.
	Videographer / Photographer	Choose a trusted videographer or camera man. If this gets too expensive then do it yourself with a digital camera. Capture the memorable moments.
	Food and Drinks	Plan easy familiar foods. Cook your best dishes at home and/or have a licensed caterer provide you with the food of your choice.
	Décor	Choose your color theme and then look for inexpensive things that fit in. Real or artificial flowers, lights, balloons, wall décor, party props, etc.
	Entertainment	Dancing and live music or a DJ, is optional, depending on your budget. Background music is a nice touch. Fiesta Loca has optional choices of rentals.

	Date	Choose a date that is perfect for you. Things to consider are the weather and the most important people that can make it the day of the party. Saturdays are usually the most expensive dates.

Last minute dates are usually a bargain. Occasions Hall will always try its best to work with your budget and prices.
