A. A wedding requires Synergy- the interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects. Much like a movie, a wedding has to be produced, scripted, edited, and directed. As a visual feast for the eyes, a wedding has to have a flow and a tempo. It needs to be as pleasing for your guests as it is for you.

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. Most potential clients will ask me how much do I charge for my various services before they even ask me for my qualifications and experience.

Most planners charge a flat rate or a
percentage of the wedding budget, so the number does vary greatly depending on a clients' need.

As each of our services are not "pre-packaged" but based on the precise needs of the client, a bride can expect to budget 10% - 20% of
their total budget depending on a planners experience
level, the couples total guest list, the complexity of the
wedding and the time involved on behalf of the planner.

However, we offer a few unique options to our brides which allows us to charge flat rates as well as a percentage, again depending on our clients' serivce needs.

Q. Write your own question and answer it.
