Helping You Create Your Wedding
I believe
that your wedding is a celebration of you. It reflects not only who you
are together, but as individuals, and while I am capable of planning the
whole event for you to just show up, I find most of my clients prefer
to be very involved in the process. I strive to work within your style,
being as involved as you want me to be. For example, some couples approach
me after selecting the site for their wedding and ask me to guide them
from there, while others call me almost immediately after saying "Yes".
When
you choose to work with me, we will determine where we need to begin.
As I listen to the story of your relationship and hear you describe your
desires, I am able to visualize potential sites (if one has not been selected)
and vendors where you can realize that dream. I can also prompt you with
ideas to help you clarify your thoughts, as well as help you determine
a realistic budget. I save you time and stress by choosing and escorting
you to sites that fit your needs.
Through many years of working with weddings, I have developed strong relationships
with a variety of professionals, including marriage officiants, caterers,
floral designers, photographers, videographers and musicians. I also work
with various forms of transportation, from shuttling guests to the site,
to transporting the bride in a horse and carriage!
Between
our initial meeting and the actual wedding we refine the details and coordinate
the logistics. I consult with you in person, by phone and email as your
location and time permit. My clients come from all over the United States
and beyond, and I am able be flexible in meeting your needs. I prefer
to attend any meetings with the site and caterer, and I am available to
be there if you feel that I can provide assistance with your meetings
with other vendors.
During
the last few weeks we finalize the time line for the day and I reconfirm
all of the details and logistics with the vendors and site to be sure
we are all in agreement. We meet the week of the wedding to transfer as
much from your hands to mine --- anything such as items needed for the
ceremony - wine, special glasses, unity candle, etc. as well as things
for the reception - guest book, table assignment cards, checks to be delivered
to various vendors, etc. As you relinquish responsibility, you can revel
in the romance of the occasion. I attend the rehearsal (and if it isn't
in a church, I often conduct it --- with the guidance of you and your
officiant) and I am there on the day of the wedding so that you may focus
on each other and enjoy this amazing day!
