FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm a graduate of Northwestern University with a background marketing & events. I've been planning weddings since 2012 & I am a Certified Wedding Planning through the Bridal Society.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
When looking for a wedding planner (& any other vendor), do your best to not let budget be your only driving force! There are certainly wonderful vendors at every price point, however, in general pricing is commensurate with experience. Like so many other industries, you get what you pay for. Additionally, its important to find a provider that you connect with on a personal level. You should certainly be comfortable with their services & professionalism, but also that you truly "click" with them; you'll be spending a lot of time with your planner & on a very important day!!
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Overall, clients underestimate the importance of hiring a planner or coordinator; unfortunately, most view wedding planning and coordination as a luxury. On the contrary, a planner/coordinator is the single most important decision you will make during the entire planning process! I highly recommend that every client work with, at least, a day-of-coordinator! Not only will working with a planner save you much undo stress during the planning process and on the day-of your dream wedding, an experienced professional can also often end up more-than paying for their service. A planner's experience and industry connections will match you with vendors, venues, and pricing that you will be unlikely to find on your own!
