Question 1

Do you take on multiple weddings in a day or weekend?

Accepted Answer

Nope! To fully give my best to my clients, I only take on one event at a time. When you book with me I block your weekend.

Question 2

Do you plan other events besides weddings?

Accepted Answer

Yes!! We’ve pretty much planned them all by now. From bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays, quinceaneras, anniversaries and other milestones, we love to design and celebrate all occasions. Please inquire for specifics related to your event.

Question 3

Are you part of a team? Who will we be working with?

Accepted Answer

As a boutique business, I pride myself on being the primary connection from your first inquiry to our final farewell, which means you will always get ME :) I delight in working closely with my couples and pouring extra thoughtfulness & heart into every wedding. While I do have a team of assistants at the ready if needed, I will always remain your point of contact for everything.

Question 4

Describe your experience. How many weddings have you planned, and what are they like? Any specialties?

Accepted Answer

I've been planning, designing, & managing events for over 15 years. I've covered everything from large scale school events, parties, showers, quinceaneras, and weddings. My largest guest count was 400 people! I entered the wedding industry 4 years ago and have loved bringing all of my planning & design experience with me. As an in house design business with creative, DIY, and building skills I can bring any vision to life as well as custom create something just for you.

Question 5

How much time should we expect to spend with you?

Accepted Answer

Hours vary from each service provided. You can expect amazing communication and quality with every service I provide!

Question 6

How far in advance should we book your services?

Accepted Answer

I encourage booking as early as possible to secure your date and allow for ample preparation time, especially when it comes to full service planning and design. Typically no later than 9-12 months is ideal. As design is one of my specialty services that books fast, the earlier the better! I’m always sad when I have to turn people away! Don’t save your coordinator until the last minute either. Their role is KEY on wedding day. I highly recommend 4-6 months out.

Do you work with specific vendors or can we choose our own?

My philosophy is always “It’s your day and your way”. While I do have a vetted team of amazing + trusted vendors at the ready, I will happily work with any vendors you have your heart set on. My goal is to foster a wonderful dream team to bring your visions to life!

Question 11

What is the difference between a venue coordinator and wedding coordinator?

Accepted Answer

So glad you asked! Both are essential and provide very different roles. A venue coordinator’s primary focus is on the venue, making sure the venue, its amenities + staff are running efficiently the day of. The wedding coordinator's primary focus is YOU. We manage all of your vendors, set up & tear down, as well as managing the flow and timeline of your day. We are also your biggest advocate, overseeing any decisions that align with your wishes. Both of these roles are vital and work in tandem to provide you with a stress free & flawless wedding day.
