What makes you different from other local planners? Why should someone hire you?
One of our principles at K Sherrie+Company is E.D.E.: Event Design with Excellence. This is what you want for your wedding or special event. This is what you deserve at your wedding or special event. We specialize in excellence! Our design team has a fresh eye for style and detail, we are super organized and we are the team that gets it done. We are dedicated to injecting your uniqueness and your personality into your event. And--we're fun to work with!
Everyone may not need our services. If you have 250 hours to spare to plan an elaborate party and make sure if goes off without a hitch, then you may not need a wedding planner. However, we at K Sherrie+Company have found that today’s professional women and power couples often need assistance in planning one of the largest celebrations of their lives. There is way more involved in planning a wedding than meets the eye. Let us do the research. Let us stay current on trends. Let us worry about your budget. Let us do the legwork. Let us take away the stress of planning a flawless fete.

My reception site comes with a coordinator. Why do I need another one?
The priority of the on-site coordinator that may come with your venue is the venue. K Sherrie+Company works for you. We are your advocate and we are obligated to execute your vision to your exact specifications. We are with you for the entire planning process to ensure that all of your needs are met. Ask yourself these questions: will the on-site coordinator advise me on etiquette and how to word my invitations? Will the on-site coordinator make sure I am staying in my financial comfort zone in all aspects of my wedding? Can the on-site coordinator attend my final dress fitting with me? Is the on-site coordinator willing to visit 3 or 4 ceremony venues to help me pick the best one for the style of my wedding? These are only some of the reasons that you need a wedding planner that is not associated to a particular venue or site.
My budget is already limited. How can I afford a wedding planner?
Honestly, if you have a limited budget, you can’t afford NOT to have a wedding planner! Wedding planners are no longer just for the jet-set. K Sherrie+Company can save you from making costly mistakes. We review your budget and make sure it’s realistic. We also help you maximize your hard earned dollars by prioritizing and making sure you are spending your money where it counts the most. It is our responsibility to make sure you stay within your financial comfort zone. We produce the event of your dreams, including the planner’s fee, all while staying within your budget. And we do all of this without scrimping on quality and style.
Do you recommend specific wedding professionals? Did you get referral fees?
K Sherrie+Company does not accept referral fees (i.e. kickbacks) from any vendors. We do have specific wedding professionals in our little black book of vendors that we can recommend that will fit best in your style of wedding. We only work with vendors with excellent reputations with the same commitment to customer satisfaction as we have. We also try to get the best deal for all of our clients so we can keep you in your financial comfort zone.
Do you employ other people to help you plan events? How much extra for additional staff?
Yes. We have an Event Design team available to manage events of any size. The scope and magnitude of the event dictate how many additional staff members are present at your event. Depending on which package you contract us for determines if additional staff is an additional cost.
What if you become ill or cannot come to the wedding? Who will stand in for you?
We thank the gods for smiling down on us that our lead designer has never missed an event! If this instance should occur, K Sherrie+Company has another well-trained and experienced Event Design Team Lead that is able to step in if the lead designer becomes ill or has some unforeseen emergency. We are also friends with other wedding planners in the city that deliver the same caliber of service that we do. We assist each other if these types of situations arise.
Are you present at all vendor meetings? Do you pay the vendor fees and we pay you one lump sum?
The level of service that we contracted for dictates if we will be present at all vendors meetings. However, K Sherrie+Company is here to give the brides and their families what they want. If you want us to be present at all vendor meetings, we will be present at all vendor meetings. We do not pay any vendor fees. The contract and subsequent payments are always between the vendor and the client.
When developing our wedding/event budget, how do you personalize this experience to our needs?
K Sherrie+Company always ensures that clients stay within their financial comfort zone. We often strive for you to come in under budget! The first thing we do to achieve this is get to know you and find out what is most important to you on the day of your dreams. Then, we plan accordingly.
How many hours are you on site the day of the wedding/event?
We are on site on the day of the event from start to finish! We are the first ones to arrive on the scene and we are the last ones to leave.
Do you charge for an initial meeting? If so, is this amount credited should we hire you?
K Sherrie+Company offers a complimentary, initial consultation to all prospective clients. If more detailed consultation is desired (storyboards, inspiration boards, etc.), then an hourly fee may apply.
Can you assist with travel plans for out of town guests? Our honeymoon plans?
K Sherrie+Company can assist you with all of your needs surrounding your wedding. Our unique network of vendors allows us to cover all bases when it comes to all things bridal.
Do you charge hourly, a flat rate or a percentage of my overall budget?
K Sherrie+Company provides you with a detailed, custom proposal based on your expectations for your wedding or event. We do not charge a percentage of your overall budget and we do have items available that are charged on an hourly basis. When you contract our services, you are paying for our experience, expertise and professional knowledge. This is completely unrelated to the cost of your wedding. In this way, you never have to worry about us encouraging you to spend more so we can make more money.
How many months in advance do I need to reserve your services for my wedding date?
Twelve to eighteen months out is a great time to start full-planning services for your wedding. However, we can plan your entire day in as little as three months (although that's not preferred!). Month-of-coordination should typically be booked up to six months out. We are willing to work with most timelines and we will let you know upfront if your expectations for your event do not necessarily mesh with your allotted timeframe.
What is your customer satisfaction policy?
K Sherrie+Company wants every client to be thrilled at the results for their event. We are second to none when it comes to the details and we do everything humanly possible to prevent any mishaps from occurring. When they do arise, we will rectify the situation as best we can to the client's satisfaction immediately. It is our philosophy that anticipating and meeting the needs of our clients is not only our utmost priority, but our personal responsibility.
