Additional Questions and Answers

Frequently Asked Questions:


 

What are the benefits of hiring a wedding specialist? 
 
Some of the benefits of hiring a wedding specialist, in addition to saving time and money, are:  

We will design a wedding that is Especially For You.


Since my budget is limited and the reception venue will assist in the planning of my wedding, why should I hire a wedding specialist?

The contact person at your reception venue is not a certified wedding specialist and will only assist you with planning the menu, cake selection, setting up of the tables, table linen colors, etc. There is limited assistance, if any, with respect to planning your wedding, i.e.: type of religious ceremony, securing an officiant, coordination of rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception, etc. Since you have a modest budget, it will be in your best interest to hire a wedding specialist who can establish a realistic budget so that your money is spent on what’s really important to you.

 

 

Since my maid of honor and mother will assist me, why do I need “day of” management wedding services?

Your family, friends, and wedding party participants would like to enjoy the union of two families and witness your exchange of vows. Hiring a wedding specialist for “day of” services will allow them to enjoy the event without worrying about such things as why the cake or flowers have not arrived. Your wedding specialist will circumvent any problems, thus allowing all participants a stress free and pleasurable experience. This is the day that you and your fiancé envisioned and you would like your invited guests to remember your wedding as being flawless, beautiful and memorable.

 


How much do you charge for your services?

 

We are a full service party, wedding and event planning company and our fees are based on the type and level of services that will accommodate our clients’ needs. Our flat rates and hourly fees are competitive. Please feel free to contact us for further pricing information.

 

Will you be able to incorporate my dreams into planning my wedding?

 

We will provide a comprehensive service to organize, coordinate and manage your special day while offering creative, unique, professional and attentive services. We endeavor to keep our clients’ goals and objectives the number one priority. Once hired, we become part of your team, listen to your ideas, goals and objectives and evaluate your needs. By bringing your vision into focus, a wedding to be remembered will be designed Especially For You.

 

How do I prepare for my initial consultation?

 

Bring photos of how you envision your wedding and write down any questions that you have.

 


What is the average cost of weddings?

 

The latest statistics indicate the cost is around $26,900 nationally and locally.
