Welcome to Our First Newsletter

It is our first, and we hope that you enjoy it along with finding it helpful. We know that when you plan your up-coming wedding, you naturally want the very BEST that your budget will allow. You are eager to give your groom, family, and friends something they will long remember and talk about.

Our Vision is Clear

First, it is our vision to be the leader in the wedding and bridal show industries by the 21st century and maintain that position throughout. This means performing more weddings and bridal shows on a national level than anyone else in the market. I’m quite demanding of my staff and vendors, pushing them to the peak of perfection. This must be done in order to guarantee that each wedding created is unmistakable crème de la crème. Finally, by assembling the best of wedding vendors and associates, each bride will be assured a wedding of her dreams. This means the bride receives the personalized services and products that only a Jeffrey Bost Wedding can provide.

Our Most Important Wedding-Yours

These are just not words. The wedding firm is ready to give you the best price and the best service that YOUR BUDGET will allow. If you have been shopping around and found that prices are out of reach, don’t give up, give me a call. Tell me your needs and your budget and let me bring the two together. As a bride-to-be, you are probably saying, “Where can I turn for the best service with my budget? Who can I trust that won’t let me down?” This is my cue. The Wedding Firm of Jeffrey Bost and Associates has been helping brides since 1983, and it can surely help you. The Wedding Firm provides photography, video, church decorating, directing, music for the ceremony and reception, catering, flowers, and much, much more.

The Wedding Ceremony

So much time goes into planing the wedding of your dreams. You put the ceremony in the hands of a family member or close friend. This is one of the BIGGEST mistakes a bride can make. This is the most important part of the wedding that in most cases costs the least. If you feel that you can’t put a professional into your budget, please give me a call. Remember if the ceremony is not right, the video and the pictures will both be ruined. Your wedding is a small production that MUST be right.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words (Not Dollars)

Especially on your wedding day you want a good set of wedding photos. There are countless stories of couples who receive less than quality work for their money – photos that are blurry, the wrong color, and the infamous “red-eye” shots. How many times have we heard, “I forgot to load the film!” Only work with a professional. There is no substitute for training and experience. This does not mean that you have to be taken to the cleaners. If in doubt of where to find a good photographer, let me help you. I can customize your package to fit your budget.

Lights! Camera! Action! The Wedding Video

Wedding Videos are fast becoming as important, if not more important and valuable than pictures. Watching a video is truly the only time that the bride and groom get to sit back and see their wedding. In most cases they are too nervous on the day of the wedding to remember anything. Unlike still camera shots, video shots take in all of the action AND sound of that special day. A video is a permanent record of your special day. This is where a wedding director is important. It does not matter how good your video person is, if the ceremony is not conducted in the proper order, it will show on the tape. Once again, think of your wedding as a small production. The Wedding Firm provides one-stop shopping which saves you money and time. The more services you order, the better deal you get, so order your package deal today.

A Wedding Soundtrack

This area of music is also important. It starts thirty minutes before the wedding and sets the mood of exchanging vows of love. You need a singer, musical instruments, and proper music. The Wedding Director can help you choose songs and order them in just the right sequence.

To Whom It May Concern,

I have known Jeffrey Bost for over two years and have seen him on a daily basis for most of this time. I have never witnessed any negative character traits and have always known of him to be cordial, professional and positive character.

All of my association with Jeff has been in a public location and I've witnessed his interaction with other people on a regular basis. First of all, he never meets any strangers and is delighted to meet new people. I've never heard him make any deriding comments about any person(s) and routinely seeks to find the good in others.

I firmly believe he should be encouraged and allowed to establish any business enterprise requiring State of Georgia approval. I believe he will operate such a business in line with good business practices and will perform in a highly ethical and professional manner.

Should any further commentary be required, my contact information is provided below. Have a great day!
