What do you love most about your job?
Helping people make memories -- that's why we're here, right?
What inspired you to start your own business?
For some, planning and visualizing doesn't come easy, but that's my favorite part! When I planned my own wedding, I wished I could have dedicated 100% of my time to it, but work, covid, and life made that challenging, to say the least. If we're not spending our time doing what we love, what are we even doing?
Why should our clients choose you?
Why not?! Let's talk and see if my services are exactly what you need. If not, that's okay, too!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I'm available in-person, online, remotely - I'm flexible!
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
My wedding went through three different dates during covid -- any challenges you throw my way, covid or not, I can manage them. When you experience set-backs, you change the plan, not the goal.
Consultations
Just need some direction? Need someone to talk through your event or give you some inspiration? I'm here for that! I'm here to discuss logistics, expectations, budgeting tips, and general guidance on how to turn your vision into reality.
Planning
This includes everything soup to nuts for your big day! Let me be your human GPS and help navigate you through this journey; everything from overall concept and design, finding a venue, researching vendors, keeping an overall to-do list, advising on invitations, setting up appointments, a wedding website and registries, creating a shot list for the photographer, creating a minute by minute timeline for your day, and ensuring all details have been thought through. Planning includes consultation, rehearsal, and day-of-coordination services.
Day-of Coordination
One month before your wedding I'll connect with you to talk about the overall vision and logistics of your day. We'll hash out all the details and confirm all things are as scheduled. We'll get together (in person, virtually, or by phone -- whichever you prefer!) and make sure all loose ends are tied. We'll walk through all the details of your day. I'll create a full end-to-end timeline to ensure everything runs smoothly.
The night before your big day, we'll rehearse each aspect of the ceremony, from the processional to the recessional, and make sure everyone knows where they need to be!
On your big day, you're no longer a planner... you're a bride/groom! I'm here to guarantee the entire day goes as smooth as possible; ensuring all vendors are on schedule and each beautifully planned detail is noticed.
