Why a Planner?

Ever wonder why anyone would hire a wedding planner? 
 
 Here are the top 6 reasons why you should consider hiring a wedding planner....
 
 
Time ~ It takes an average of 250 hours to plan a wedding. A wedding planner takes on those planning hours for you. We free up your time by doing the legwork for you and allowing you to enjoy to process, without the work.
 
Connections ~ As professionals in the wedding industry, we have relationships with many different vendors, ensuring that the right people will be working with you.
 
Budget ~ It is as important to us, as it is to you that you stay on budget.  Whether your budget is big or small, your wedding planner is here to help you stay on track and still have your dream wedding.
 
Theming ~ We pride ourselves in keeping up with the latest trends in design and decor and are here to help you creatively create your 'perfect' wedding feel.
 
Emergency Kit ~ Our emergency kit is fully stocked to calmly handle any situation that may come up at your wedding.  We are prepared for any and every thing.  The reality is, things DO go wrong at weddings, you will want a team available to handle these situations so that you and your family and friends never need to worry.
 
Enjoyment ~ What we provide most, is a stress and worry free wedding and wedding planning process, allowing you to just enjoy yourself along the way.
 
 
What our customers have to say...
 
I don't know what we would have done when our DJ didn't show up. We were so thankful that you were there to handle the situation so that we didn't have to worry about it at all.
 
 
What an amazing job you did with this wedding. Such a unique idea, our guests loved it and are still talking about it. You two are an amazing team. Thanks so much.
 
 
I have never been so relaxed, it has been so great to just enjoy the wedding and the planning without all the stress and hassle of dealing with everyone and everything.  I'm telling everyone - get a planner - it's the best thing I have ever done. You guys are great!

Bridal Shows

What an amazing creation - the Bridal Show!!!  It's almost a one stop shop for all your wedding needs! We are big fans!!

Things to consider about Bridal Shows....

1. The personalities of the vendors.  Sadly, not all vendors have a 'people-lovin' personality'. If you don't feel comfortable and welcome with them when you are at their booth...no matter their amazing deal - you are not going to feel comfortable working with them.

2. Shows are a great way to get a deal!  Most vendors at a Bridal Show will offer 'show specials' that are only valid if you were at the show. Not to mention, most vendors will price hold, which means you can book now at their 2013 show special rate for your 2014 wedding!!!

3. Freebies!!  Hellllooooo, who does not LOVE freebies! Everything from cake samples, to candy buffet treats, photo booth pictures...and the PRIZES!! Most shows offer door prizes and grand prizes, and most vendors offer prizes right at their booth (usually one of their services)

4. Use caution when entering draws at vendors booths....it is unfortunate that some prizes come with 'strings attached' which may or may not be a good deal. We won a free videographer for a wedding, which was super exciting...the attached string was that we had to purchase a photgraphy package first in order to claim our prize. This can be a great deal if you haven't already booked a photographer (we had!) and if you like the photographers work and price packages.

5. Be honest with vendors.  We really are not at the show to sucker you in, most wedding professionals are in the wedding business because they truly love weddings and want to offer you the best of their services. If what they're offering is not of interest to you, just say so. (they'll still let you enter their draw!)

6. Don't make 'on the spot' decisions.  I know that you are probably shocked that I would say that....but it's easy to fall in love with an idea...then find a better idea two rows over.  Tour the show, enjoy the show, collect brochures and business cards from everyone you love, then make your decisions. By the time you have seen all the vendors, you'll know what ideas, and people you are truly in love with.  Go back and chat with them again!

7. Most of all, have fun. It's a great mother/daughter day, or a girls day out....you might even want to bring the groom...afterall it is his wedding also! (And they actually have fun too!)
