CONGRATULATIONS newly engaged couples!!! Welcome to the world of trying to figure out all things weddings.
I have been involved in literally thousands of wedding throughout my lifetime. I never actually intended to become a WEDDING EXPERT but it happened. It happened in part because it is my nature to be as educated on any subject I am involved in as much as possible. Starting out simply as a WEDDING OFFICIANT many years ago the learning started and the more I learned the more I jumped in to assist couples in their planning and the execution of the wedding day.
Over the years I have personally retained and trained a team of top notch wedding pros. If any of us got ill, had an emergency or died you - THE COUPLE, would never be put in a place to be concerned about YOUR wedding being covered. We always attend rehearsals- even if the services we are providing are other than OFFICIANT- yes our photographer, videographer and DJ are there at rehearsal- because any on these services are vital to your wedding memories. The more we know about YOU and YOUR WEDDING the better we can serve YOU.
As OFFICIANT WEDDING PLANNER or DAY OF DIRECTOR we are not there to tell you what to do but are there to provide suggestions and execute the plan that YOU decide fits YOUR style and YOUR vision of YOUR wedding.
Over the years many of our couples have taken the time to write about the services we provide- I first suggest that you read through those. Then give me a call and see if you think I and my team are a good fit for YOUR wedding.
We meet face to face, at a time and place convenient to YOU and YOUR schedules (Weddings are not a part time gig for us- it is our main gig!) If you choose to utilize us we are there for YOU- via phone calls, texts, Zoom. We have no regular business hours because the people we serve normally do have regular work hours so we make our schedule fit YOUR schedule.
The ceremony we design and script WITH you is not some cookie-cutter wedding, We work to create a wedding as unique and interesting as YOU are.
Here is the reality- IT IS YOUR WEDDING NOT OURS!
I have actually heard wedding planners call the minister or another vendor 'MY MINISTER' or 'MY DJ'. We work for YOU the couple and we work WITH YOUR wedding planner not FOR your wedding planner. Because we never forget who our boss is.
So if you want a wedding vendor who becomes the brides BEST FRIEND (read the reviews) Dr Kelsey Graham and team are your best choice.
No matter what role we serve on your wedding day our main mission is to keep YOU, the bride, happy all the way through.
Consultations are always free. We are not pushy. We have no need or reason to be pushy.
And our fees are based on our talents and experience not on anyone's budget.
