- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I keep things as simple as possible! Once we agree on the type of service you need, I send you an email with a proposal of what we discussed, an invoice and a contract. You would then approve the proposal, electronically sign the contract, and pay a $50.00 non refundable down payment. Your date and time are then secured. Once these things are done, you are emailed a password and access to your client portal. In the client portal you will find example vows, wedding flow, and other planning help. Two weeks before your ceremony we meet to go over all the details and answer any questions you and I may have. The day of your ceremony I arrived an hour before the ceremony begins. I visit with your other vendors to make sure we are all on the same page. After the ceremony I make sure to collect the signatures needed for the Marriage License and file it for you. Once that’s completed I also email you a copy of it.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am always seeking out information, and I encourage my clients to do the same. In this field things change rapidly. I gain information from searching the internet, reading books, attending conferences, exchanging ideas with clients and others in my field. I also view videos on YouTube to watch for things I can improve on or add. I listen to past clients concerns or ideas. And most importantly, I never stop researching.
