FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I became a wedding planner, because I love to work with people and I thrive on a challenge! I wanted to understand how it all worked from actually experiencing the different avenues. I worked in the floral industry to better understand the flowers. I became familiar with the wholesale side as well as becoming a floral designer and working with weddings. I also worked as a caterer to understand all of the ends and outs of this industry. I networked with other vendors to get a full understanding of the total package. It was then that I became certified as an event & wedding planner. I have been doing this for over 15 years...and will probably continue for as long as I live! I love it...it's in my blood!
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
When you are looking to hire a wedding planner...meet with them and you will know right away, if you click! They should be someone that will listen to what you are looking for and then let you know how they can accomplish it. You need to know exactly what services they provide...do you need someone that can handle it all?....do you need someone to just do the decorating?...do you need someone to help you with your budget?...do you just need vendor help?....do you need someone there for the rehearsal and to help plan the rehearsal dinner? These are the things you need to think about before your first meeting. Happy Planning!
