Frequently Asked Questions
Invitations Details
What is your average turnaround time, from initial contact to shipment?
Most invitations take about 2 weeks from initial order to product in hand. I have several books to look thru, there is something for any occasion and any modern, traditional or contemporary style.
Are you able to meet clients in person to showcase your product?
Yes, a simple appointment is needed to view the books and this is best at my office but can be done at your home.
Wedding Coordinator Details
How many planners do you work with?
I have 5 associates that help out with the planning details if needed. Otherwise when you book me, you get me working with you, then you dont have to repeat or try to get someone else to see your vision.
What style of wedding do you specialize in planning?
I dont think I have a particular style, I like to do them all. From very conservative to wild and original they are all fun and beautiful!
Do you support or cater to any specific cultures?
Not really. I am open to just about anything and will learn the specifics of a certain culture tradition so that it is not forgotten in the event.
What sizes of weddings have you coordinated in the past?
I have had weddings that range from 30 to 350 people. It is always the same concept just the number of guests and/or bridal party may vary.
Which venues have you worked at that you are familiar with?
Oh my favorite are the Landmark Center, Minneapolis Golf Club, and the Conservatory/Carlson Rotunda. I am looking forward to an upcoming wedding at the Lafayette Club, that is a beautiful ballroom!
