Question:
Describe what you do as a wedding coordinator:
Answer:
As your wedding coordinator I will work with you to handle as much or as little of the wedding as you wish. I will work with you to find vendors, locations, and styles that fit your personality and your wedding dreams. I will do all of the research, legwork, budgets, and timelines so that you can sit back and enjoy the planning process and your wedding day.
Question:
Do I need a Wedding Consultant?
Answer:
I believe by hiring a wedding consultant you can save you money, time and stress. A Wedding Coordinator will end up saving you money by negotiating contracts and taking advantage of discounts not available to private parties and avoiding costly mistakes. The average wedding can take more than two hundred fifty hours just to plan. Most Brides today have lifestyles, and may not have time to compare all the options, making sure you get the best deal, and make sure all the details are in place.
Question:
How long have you been in business?
Answer:
Before opening Lasting Impressions I worked as an event coordinator for a large company of restaurants for four years. I scheduled all promotional events, winemaker’s dinner, as well as weddings and rehearsal dinners. My love of planning in combination with my own wedding had drawn me towards opening my own consulting company to help other brides with their dream weddings.

This has trained me in all of the aspects to the wedding day and the planning process.
