FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My packages and planning services are completely custom. I have a 'menu' that breaks down things in an a la carte fashion, but the bulk of the package is built to suit the clients needs. A typical 'Month of Coordination' package runs $2000-$2500...but no wedding is 'typical', right? :)
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I work diligently with the clients to make sure that the service agreement specifically outlines everything that I will be doing for them, as their planner, and what our expectations of each other are. You should LIKE your wedding planner! Personality matters. We need to see if we're a good fit. My clients trust me with all the details of their big day, and I honor that.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BFA in theater from UCSB - which I think I can attribute to my flair for the dramatic, appreciation of the grand gesture and love of the sentimental. I became a certified wedding consultant in 2008 through a 6 month extension program of Cal State. I was an assistant, I was mentored, I interned...I worked my way up in the wedding industry. I also have a service industry background and at almost every wedding I've done, I've cleared tables, poured wine, and bartended...at one time or another!
