FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
It was the year 2010, and my aunt and uncle had just gotten married. They had been dating for a good 7+ years at this point and I was absolutely over the moon that they were finally getting married (they were my favourite aunt and uncle from a large family of 8 aunts and uncles). Unfortunately for me, they had gotten married at a time that I was not able to attend due to conflicts with school. In addition to that, they had also decided on a very small, very intimate wedding ceremony out of town. It was a little while later when I found that they had planned to hold their reception for more family and friends and this time I was able to attend. It was the magic of their love for each other and their love for their family and friends to have a second ceremony and reception that had inspired me to become a wedding planner and coordinator. While most people think that weddings are only for the couple, it really is for the couple AND the guests in attendance. Nothing is more touching that being in the presence of everyone you love on the first step to a new life.
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
Recently, I had taken on a wedding planning project in Louisiana. The groom is a friend of mine from when we were in high school, but he was someone that I had met while playing MapleStory. He had called me a year before the wedding asking for my help, and even though I was based out of SoCal, I still happily took on the challenge! The groom had been incredibly busy during the entire wedding process, as was his lovely bride who I had spent many weeks chatting with over the course of the year. Their wedding happened in July of 2023 and it was the most beautiful Bridgerton-style wedding yet!
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Find someone that you feel like you would be able to get along with! A professional in the wedding industry is going to be around for some of the most stressful times in your life and you need someone who can be understanding and patient and compatible with you and your partner. You can typically tell whether or not you would be able to get along with the professional based off of any initial interactions over the phone, by text message or by email.
