Question 1

What’s the difference between an event planner versus a venue coordinator?

Accepted Answer

The event coordinator at a venue works specifically for that venue and, therefore, does not typically handle many aspects of the planning process beyond a certain scope, as an event planner does. On the other hand, your wedding or event planner works for YOU and is there to make sure that all vendor choices and design elements are based on your unique personality and preferences. Therefore, I highly recommend hiring an event planner to help with all other planning and design aspects and work with the event coordinator to ensure the event runs smoothly.

Question 2

What does an eco-friendly wedding planner do differently compared to other wedding planners?

Accepted Answer

Having an eco-friendly wedding goes far beyond going paperless or opting for seed paper invitations, but rather there are choices that you can make during every step of the way to have your event be more eco-friendly. I help you do things like account for eco-friendly choices in your budget, present you with various eco-friendly options while selecting every element of your wedding, and coordinate with vendors to ensure that every aspect of your wedding is handled in a more sustainable way before, during, and after the event.

Question 3

What are your values? Do you work with same-sex couples?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I am LGBTQ+ friendly. Diversity, inclusivity, consciousness, and kindness are all cornerstones of Eco & Ivory. I believe that love is love, and I honor that through my vendor recommendations, interactions with couples, and how I show up in the event industry today and in the future.

Question 4

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

Yes! Get in touch to learn more.

Question 6

What kind of weddings do you plan?

Accepted Answer

I specialize in planning eco-friendly weddings. However, you don't have to aim for a zero-waste wedding to work with me. I celebrate you whether you want to add touch a touch of green or go green all the way! Because of this, most of my couples tend to be a little more on the less traditional side.

Question 7

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

Accepted Answer

While I may bring one or two assistants on your event day to ensure the day runs smoothly, I currently handle the vast majority of communication and work throughout the planning process. On rare occasions, if I am unable to be present at your event, I will assign a point person and introduce you to them and transition them in as far in advance as possible to help you feel comfortable.

Question 8

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

Accepted Answer

In order for me to give you the best service possible, I do not currently take on multiple weddings in a day. I also do not generally take on multiple weddings in a weekend unless the scope of work involved for each is minimal.
