In the Beginning ~

The consultant will have an introductory face-to-face meeting with you to get to know each other and to help both of you decide what level of service would best suit your needs and budget.   During this meeting, the consultant will discuss your plans, ideas and dreams you have of your wedding and reception.

When hired ~

The consultant will assist you in obtaining qualified vendors, if requested, for your wedding and reception, such as, florists, musicians, photographers, etc.

The consultant will assist you in preparing and managing your budget.

When you need advice on how to address your invitations or other wedding etiquette related issues, the consultant has the knowledge and expertise to advise you accordingly.

As it gets to the time for selecting your ceremony and/or wedding site, the consultant can visit the site with you to offer suggestions for decorating, room layout, etc. or see possible disadvantages for a particular location.

If requested, the consultant can help you plan the rehearsal dinner or other pre-wedding parties as well as post-wedding brunches.

The consultant will secure the best rates for hotel accommodations for out of town guests.

So that everyone involved with the wedding will be on the “same page” the day of the wedding, your consultant will construct a detailed “Schedule of Events” based on your particular timing needs.  This schedule will be sent to all vendors prior to your wedding day.

 The Big Day arrives ~

You can rest assured your consultant will attend the rehearsal, arrive early on the wedding day and stay until the last guest has left the reception to ensure you are receiving everything you agreed to and are pleased with all their services. 

The consultant will act as your liaison so you, your groom and family can rest and enjoy spending time with your guests.
