FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I attended a visual design school and part of my course work were event planning classes. I immediately fell in love with the organizational aspects (I was always a color coordinated, highlighter, sticky, kind of note taker!). Once I got more invested in the concept, I interned for many Wedding Planners and felt the pride and excitement of my work the moment I saw the bride and groom turn to face each other at the altar- at that moment, neither one of them, the bridal party, or the guests were stressed, overworked or had their mind elsewhere. All eyes were on the bride and groom. They had love in their hearts and serenity in their thoughts. With a beautiful celebration waiting for them, after a beautiful exchange of hearts, I knew this is what I wanted to do... to help create the start of a seamless marriage.
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Event coordinating, though it sounds like list making and phone calls, is SO much more. It really does pay off in the long run to hire a professional from the start, rather than attempting to juggle the stress, organization and friendly personality necessary with your guests throughout the planning process. Hiring a professional for even partial coordination will allow for a much smoother and enjoyable experience for you.
