About

"Brides", by DK&You is an expansion of the company’s -Event Planning- business model. Weddings have always been our specialty, we simply felt the need to give our brides, grooms, and their family a separation from our special events and place focus on the grand occasion of their holy matrimony. A bride and groom become an extended part of our company beyond the day that you say "I do". Our commitment is to create "A Day To Remember" and a long-lasting bond between your family and ours. After all, we’ll have babies, birthdays, anniversaries, and more celebrations to plan for you in the years to come!

Tips and Advice
What Is a Wedding/ Event Coordinator
Event Coordinators are the best professionals in the business. Their guidance, expertise
and contacts will help make the final outcome of your event as close to perfect as it
possibly can be. Coordinators may specialize in coordinating large or small scale events
such as: Birthday Parties, Weddings, Corporate Holiday, Retirement, Graduation, and
Engagement Parties, Quinceañeras, Showers, etc.

What will an Event/ Wedding Coordinator do for me?
After putting the time, money and energy into your event, why leave anything to
chance? Event Planners and Wedding and Event coordinators will save you time and
will take care of all the details, such as the music, food and drinks, design, locations,
logistics, etc. Event Planning is something that should be left to the most qualified
professional who has not only credentials, but also has a personality that meshes with
yours. It’s important that the Event Coordinator is someone whom you can confide in
and trust to put together the fine details of large and small scale affairs.

Will a Coordinator want to run the whole show?
A professional Coordinator will work with you, handling as much or as little of your
event or wedding as you want. After all, it is your show. The Coordinator is there to
help you make the day perfect.

Can I afford a Event/ Wedding Coordinator?
Good coordinators have only your interests in mind. They will help you create an
affordable budget. An Event/ Wedding Coordinator is part of your budget, not an
extra expense. In fact, you often save money because a consultant suggests less
expensive alternatives that still enhance your wedding. They deal with vendors every
day and understand the aspects of each vendor’s business. They should review all
contracts and make sure that expectations are met and quoted prices are honored.
Consultants often can obtain vendor discounts.

Why can’t I do the planning myself?
Of course you can do the planning yourself, and that sometimes is part of the fun of
your event. However, it can also become a hassle; especially on the days before and the
day of the event. Checking out many sources for each vendor, making sure all the
details are in place, worrying about whether you’re getting the best deals -- and
whether everything will turn out all right. A Coordinator has the training and
experience to make it all work, while you relax and have fun.

How can I tell if an Event/ Wedding Coordinator is providing a quality
vendor?
A satisfied client is paramount to the Coordinator’s reputation – and to future business.
So, it is to their benefit to recommend the best vendor for your budget. A professional
coordinator is committed to providing the best possible event at the lowest possible
cost.

Do I need a Wedding/ Event Coordinator?
An Event Coordinator will be a distinct asset as you plan your wedding or event.
Wouldn’t it be nice to spend time dealing with everything else you have going on,
rather than worrying about all the details of your special day? On the day of your big
event, you can shine, while your consultant works behind the scene to make it all
happen! By employing the services of professionals who specialize in Event and
Wedding Coordinating, you can be certain your next gala affair goes off without a
hitch.
