Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why hire a wedding planner/ wedding coordinator?

A: Statistics show that the average wedding takes approximately 200 - 300 hours to plan. A Planner can save you time spent researching and planning.  A Planner can also help you select vendors, keep your budget on track, provide qualified vendor referrals, accompany you to vendor meetings and know what questions to ask, review vendor contracts, negotiate on your behalf, and save you money.  A Planner is an investment in making sure your wedding day is beautiful & flawless while taking the stress & duty off you and your family and to have a peace of mind that everything will run smoothly. 

Q: My venue already has an in-house wedding coordinator. Why do I need a planner? 

A: A wedding coordinator at a venue and a wedding planner are two completely different jobs. The venue wedding coordinator is there to serve the venue. A planner is completely focused on you and dedicated to your wedding vision, and she is there solely to make sure that your vision comes to life on your wedding day. 

Q: How much involvement will my planner have? 

A: As much or as little as you want them to have! Your planner’s level of involvement depends on the event planning package you reserve and your personal preferences. Some clients will have every detail planned out and are just looking for a planner to execute their vision, and some clients want to sit back and let their planner take care of everything for their wedding day. We work with clients at both ends of the spectrum (and anywhere in between) personalizing our service to your needs.
