Frequently Asked Questions
Why hire a wedding coordinator?
As couples begin thinking about their wedding, they are often confused as to how much to spend, where to obtain specialized services, and how to choose vendors. These worries often mount as
quickly as the cost of the wedding. After the euphoria wears off and the reality settles in, it's shocking to discover of how much preparation is involved. Couples are faced with decisions about everything from invitation wording to planning their honeymoon. Couples often find they want experienced professional help.
Not long ago, a wedding coordinator was thought of as a luxury, only used by the wealthy. Now a coordinator is essential to the well planned affair. It is no longer "trendy" to engage a coordinator. Being experienced in negotiating contracts with caterers, florists, photographers, and other suppliers, the coordinator saves valuable time and money. The coordinator can take advantage of discounts not available to private parties and avoid costly mistakes, while turning your dreams into reality.
The average wedding can take more than two hundred fifty hours just to plan. With today's hectic lifestyles, you may not have time to compare all the options, making sure you get the best deal, and make sure all the details are in place.
Wedding coordinators are not here to make decisions for you, but to guide and
assist you in making informed decisions. Their training, knowledge, and experience will turn your dreams and expectations into reality. They want you to host a beautiful and distinctive event which you can enjoy.
A wedding coordinator will save you time and enable you to get the most for your money! A wedding coordinator can serve in many other capacities. They can act as the family counselor for apprehensive brides and the mothers, a wedding coordinator can become as close as your best friend.
I am getting married and the reception venue will assist in the planning of my wedding, why should I hire an event specialist?
The contact person at your banquet facility will only assist you with planning the menu and setting up of the tables. They will not be able to help you decide on the type of ceremony, secure an officiant, coordinate the rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception, or the many other little details that are involved in planning a wedding. I am educated and trained to work with bridal couples and make sure they have the wedding of their dreams. A venue coordinator may tell you that you do not need a bridal consultant, but remember that the venue coordinator's interest lies with their employer. My interest lies with you and making sure that you are happy with all the details of your wedding.
Will you be able to incorporate my ideas into your planning?
I provide a comprehensive service to organize, coordinate and manage your event while offering creative, unique, and professional services. Once hired, I become part of your team and will help you turn your vision into a reality.
Can I hire you only for the day of the event?
This is one service nobody planning a large event should do without. You may not mind doing all the planning yourself, but do you really want the hassle of dealing with all the 
vendors and the problems that could arise during the event? Even if you don't hire me to do the planning, I can still offer you our day-of-event management package. I work behind the scenes with your vendors and make sure that no problems are left unsolved. I am there for the full day making sure that everything you worked so hard to plan runs smoothly and that you and your family and friends can enjoy yourselves without worry.
Do you do this full time?
Absolutely! This is a career for me, not just a hobby!
Have you received any formal training?

Do you plan other events besides weddings?
Yes, weddings are my main focus but I also plan other wedding related events such as engagement parties and bridal showers.
What other services do you provide?
