Question 1

Why do I need a wedding planner?

Accepted Answer

A wedding planner can help couples plan and execute their wedding from start to finish, including creating a budget, finding vendors, etc. They can also help reduce stress and ensure the wedding is memorable.

Question 2

What is included in wedding planning services?

Accepted Answer

A virtual wedding planner manages all wedding tasks except for the day of the wedding, including budget, timeline, design, vendor research, and guest assistance.

Question 3

Is in-person coordination provided for event planning?

Accepted Answer

No, Amanda Antonetti Events takes pride in providing comprehensive virtual coordination and planning services prior to the event day. Our packages are designed to ensure thorough preparations are made leading up to your event through remote coordination. This allows us to offer competitive pricing. While many venues now include on-site day-of coordination, if your venue does not provide this service, we would be happy to discuss potential additional fees. However, physical on-site coordination is not included in our standard package offerings.

Question 4

Will you provide hand-off documentation for vendors who may need them?

Accepted Answer

Yes, of course! All packages (besides Basic Planning), clients will receive a package of information regarding their event.

Question 5

How much time do you need to plan?

Accepted Answer

Most couples start planning their wedding 12 to 18 months in advance, with the majority of the intensive planning and bookings happening around 10 months before the big day. However, the timeline can vary greatly depending on factors like the desired venue's availability, the complexity of the wedding, and whether you're planning a local or destination wedding.

Question 6

Do you have vendor references or partnerships?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I have cultivated relationships with various trusted vendors in the wedding industry, which can often translate to preferential treatment or discounts for my clients. I'm also continually expanding my network to offer my clients an even wider range of high-quality, reliable vendor options.

Question 7

Do you send save the dates or invitations on our behalf?

Accepted Answer

No, sending save-the-dates and invitations is not a service I currently offer as part of my virtual wedding planning package. However, I can guide you through the process, provide design input, and recommend reliable printers or stationers. For an additional fee, I can manage the mailing process on your behalf if you desire.

Question 8

Do you handle professional services, contracts and payment processing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I assist with vendor connections, contract negotiations, and reviewing contracts to ensure they align with your interests and expectations. However, to maintain financial transparency and security, I do not handle payment processing directly. All payments to vendors will be made by you unless we have a prior written agreement stating otherwise.

Question 9

Are you willing to step in as our advocate, conveying our visions and desires to pros when we can't?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, 100%. As your wedding planner, I consider it a core part of my role to be your advocate, conveying your vision, desires, and concerns to vendors when you can't or prefer not to. This ensures your wedding truly reflects your unique style and wishes, even when you're busy or unavailable.

Question 10

Do you have insurance?

Accepted Answer

Currently, no, as my business does not include on-site planning. I am exploring policies though, to further protect my clients' interests.

Question 11

Do you offer design services or styling advice?

Accepted Answer

Basic design guidance is included in my partial and full planning packages, featuring mood boards to visualize your wedding style. My basic plan doesn't include design services, but you can add them on.

Question 12

Can you help with guest list management and RSVP tracking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I can manage your guest list, track RSVPs, and handle guest inquiries on your behalf.

Question 13

How often will we communicate during the planning process?

Accepted Answer

Certain packages come with set amount of calls (ranging from two to unlimited). However, we can keep in touch via email, as well!
