Every family will have their individual needs assessed and the approach will be personalized based on the desired event. Venue location and complexity of the event will determine which offering is best for you. I won’t show up on the day of the event without understanding the couple, vendors, timeline and the such. I require a face to face meeting with the family, three months prior to the event. This allows me to understand the vision of the event, become familiar with the vendors, create the timeline and execute the event without issues.

Full-service planning assists you with venue location search, securing vendors and managing contracts through negotiations. Full-service planning allows us to be there with you every step of the way, with vendor referrals, design meetings, appointment setting and such. Three-month coordination is for the bride who may have a planner at the venue or chapel. Or perhaps a family who has hosted several weddings recently and already has vendors and contract experience. 

YES! Don’t fall into the trap of asking a friend or bridesmaid to help you. Event planning is a skill that is developed over time. Our expertise, experience and contacts can make an event special and stress-free. Having help from family is a nice gesture, but it could turn out to be a nightmare.

Hiring a planner will help you right away, so the sooner the better. However, don’t hire the first one you meet – be sure the planner suits your needs for the event you are planning.

A scope of work will be presented after the initial consultation. Consultations may range from site visits, video meetings and/or conference calls.
