Connie & Jason

Connie and Jason were a wonderful couple to work with. Here are some of the pictures from their wedding taken by Crowe's Eye Photography. http://www.croweseyephotography.com/

What does a wedding planner do that I can't do myself?

2011-12-02T16:38:00.000-08:00

That is a good question that I get a lot. I'll be honest. If you have the time and willingness to "plan" your own wedding you probably can. With my vendor relationships though, I could save you money on the same services that you contact and pay full price for. I can also recommend vendors that I have worked with and know do a great job. Some brides and grooms just don't have the time or the willingness to plan their wedding. That is where I can come in to pick up more of that responsibility.

The biggest thing, and why I put "plan" in quotation marks, is that the wedding day is a whole different story. Your wedding day is one of the most important and memorable times of your life. Here's two real life scenarios.

Scenario One: The day of the wedding the bride, bridesmaids, and mother-of-the-bride get up early. They head to the reception room to decorate the tables, put centerpieces together, etc. About lunch time, they order pizza as they continue to decorate. They rush back to the hotel room with the pizza to only find that they need to be at their hair and make-up appointments. While the bridesmaids eat, the bride and mother-of-the-bride run to get to the appointments in time... bridesmaids soon follow. The bride is a sweaty mess when she gets there as they try to apply make-up. Once everyone is done, they rush back to get ready for the wedding and barely have a moment to rest before the ceremony starts. (This was my day and why I feel a planner is super important and ultimately why I became one)

Scenario Two: The day of the wedding, the bride, bridesmaids, and mother-of-the-bride wake up and enjoy breakfast in the room brought by me (the planner). The make-up and hair team arrive and the girls get pampered. Lunch is brought to the hotel room by me (the planner). In between everything, the girls are relaxing and just hanging out. Once it is almost time for pictures, the bride and bridesmaids start getting dressed, pictures are taken, and everyone heads to the church for more pictures and the ceremony. After the ceremony, the wedding party gets on a bus and heads around town celebrating and taking pictures. Meanwhile, all of the reception decorations were being placed, favors going on the tables, and vendors were being coordinated. The wedding party arrives and retreats to a room where they relax and have fun until the reception starts. (This is a wedding I coordinated last year)

Now I ask you, which wedding day would you rather have?

Most wedding planners pay for themselves by negotiating contracts with vendors they have worked with. They build relationships with top vendors to get you the best price and outstanding service. They can even give you tips to save money that you have probably never thought of. Again, this is one of the most important days of your life. A wedding planner is WORTH IT.

You can afford a wedding planner!

2011-11-27T16:27:00.000-08:00

That's right. You can afford a wedding planner. With the money we can save you giving our cost cutting tips, negotiating with vendors, and using vendors that we have worked with before, that should almost or will pay for our planning services. We can also create a customized package for you that works with your budgets and needs. In your free, one hour consultation with me, we will discuss exactly what you need and the cost of my services. Please at least take advantage of the free consultation before making your decision. I learned the hard way at my wedding how important a planner would have been. I spent the entire morning doing all of the decorations with my bridesmaids. We barely had time for lunch... I don't think I ate anything. I had to run through the Circle Centre Mall to get to my hair and make-up appointment on time. My face was all red and sweaty... can you say embarrassing??? I never had a moment to just relax before my ceremony. Don't let this happen to you! Relax with friends and family. Spend the day getting pampered until the big moment arrives. It will be worth every penny.

Beach Themed Wedding

2011-11-27T12:59:00.000-08:00

Can't go to the beach to get married? Bring the beach to you. Having a beach wedding? Let the guests that couldn't make it enjoy the tropical flare at your reception. People still talk about these message in a bottle invitations.

The invitations were rolled up like a scroll and placed in each bottle. The bottles were filled at the bottom with sand then a small starfish, some mini shells, and a drink umbrella were placed in the bottom. The airline tickets were placed in jackets and handed out with the invitations.

The drink umbrellas had little tags with the guests

name and table number.
