Question 1

Describe your experience. How many weddings have you planned, and what are they like? Any specialties?

Accepted Answer

Oh, where do I even start? I’ve had the absolute joy of planning over 75 weddings, each one a unique adventure! From intimate backyard ceremonies to grand ballroom extravaganzas, every wedding is a chance to weave a couple’s love story into something magical. I absolutely love adding those personal touches that make each celebration truly one-of-a-kind. Every time I see the couple’s faces light up, I know I’m in the right place! Let’s create something amazing together!

Question 2

Are you part of a team? Who will we be working with?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I’m part of a fantastic team that includes two amazing assistants who are with me every step of the way. They help with everything from setup and tear down to ensuring that every detail is perfect on your special day. You’ll have a dedicated crew ready to support you, so you can relax and enjoy the celebration while we take care of all the behind-the-scenes magic! Together, we’re committed to making your wedding day as smooth and joyful as possible.

Question 3

Do you also plan other events, like showers or rehearsal dinners?

Accepted Answer

I love planning all kinds of events, from birthday parties to bridal showers and rehearsal dinners! I offer customizable packages tailored to your needs, ensuring every celebration feels unique and special. Plus, if you book multiple events with me—like a wedding, shower, or engagement party—you'll enjoy some fantastic discounts! Let’s make every moment leading up to your big day just as memorable as the wedding itself!

Question 4

How much time should we expect to spend with you?

Accepted Answer

The time we’ll spend together really depends on the type of package you choose and your specific needs! For full planning packages, we typically meet regularly throughout the planning process, which can range from a few months to over a year. If you’re opting for day-of coordination, we’ll have a couple of meetings leading up to the big day to discuss details and timelines. Regardless, I’m always just a message away, ready to chat whenever you need me! My goal is to make this process as enjoyable and stress-free as possible, so we’ll find a rhythm that works for you.

Question 5

Do you take on multiple weddings in a day or weekend?

Accepted Answer

Nope! I believe in giving each couple my full attention, so I don’t take on multiple weddings in a day or weekend. When you work with me, you’ll have my complete focus on your special day, ensuring every detail is perfect and that everything runs smoothly. I want you to feel like the star of the show, so I’m all in for you!
