Why do you love being a Wedding Planner?
I love planning and designing! I actually got my start in fashion and design so I’ve combined the two to provide a full service option for our clients. I love to create and design weddings that evoke all 5 senses and provide a true guest experience. The research, the creative process and pulling it all together to bring it all to life is truly an incredible part of the job. I love watching a couple and their guests walk into a space that surprises, delights and excites them. It makes all the hard work pay off!
Do you have 3 pieces of advice for couples starting to plan their wedding?
- My first piece of advice is set a budget and decide the one or two things that are most important to you – is it food? The venue? Flowers? Set aside a little more money for that item or items and decide where you can compromise so you don’t blow the budget.
- My second piece of advice is – Communicate and be ready to compromise! Marriage is all about that so you may as well start while you plan for your big day.
- And finally, hire a professional planner to help you navigate the numerous vendors, venues and options. A good planner will be part of your “team”. His or her goal should be to help you find the best venue and vendors to avoid costly mistakes. He or she will know what questions to ask, provide a detailed timeline and guide you throughout the process with experienced and honest advice.
