FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
After planning my own wedding, I honestly wished that I had hired a planner since I honestly had a hard time keeping track of all the details AND enjoying myself. I am very much a type A personality. After assisting a friend with her wedding as her planner, I realized that she was able to relax and enjoy and I was able to handle all the tiny details that I honestly enjoy so much, it was a win win situation!
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Make sure that you get all of your details up front when signing a contract with a planners. Make certain that you know what services are included and what you can expect. Not all planners are full service establishments, and if you are looking for full oversight, suddenly finding out that your signed planner does not provide a service you require then that's one more detail you need to manage on your own! I don't use any fancy language in my contracts, and every one of my offered services is listed and you can pick and choose at will what you need and what you don't. If you find that you require something extra down the line, no worries! We can add it in. My job is to help YOU have a stress free wedding.
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
I wish that my customers knew just how much time and energy I put into their weddings and events. On an average week, I put in well over 45 hours on each wedding I am working with (which is why I never take on more than 2 within the same 6 month period). I am interviewing vendors (Caterer, stationer, venue owners etc) and making selections based on my couples needs and desires. It's a very emotional business, and I am available by phone, email and text to my couples at all times during the process.
