Question 1

What is the difference between a venue coordinator and a wedding planner?

Accepted Answer

These are two very distinct roles with very different job descriptions, and when both pull together, they will do an amazing job making your event seamless. A venue coordinator manages items that pertain specifically to the venue. This often includes food and beverage services, servers, bartenders, staffing, and onsite facilities. Sometimes a couple may not even meet their venue coordinator until well after they book their venue, or at times, they may be assigned a new venue coordinator during their planning process.

Question 2

Can you send me your pricing?

Accepted Answer

We would love to! We offer complimentary initial consultations (by phone, video or in person) to help assess each couple’s specific needs. Once we learn the scope of your planned wedding along with all of your wishes, desires and concerns, we can then offer you some custom package options that are the right fit for you.

Question 3

What sets you apart from other wedding planners?

Accepted Answer

What makes us unique is how involved we are with your wedding planning. We do not simply make recommendations or suggestions and then just help you implement your plans. We are your partner throughout the entire process, we will be with you for all of your meetings and we manage all of the implementation. You get to be part of the fun decision-making details, but we will handle the logistics so you can enjoy your engagement.

Question 4

What are some different types of weddings you have worked on?

Accepted Answer

We have been so lucky over the years to have worked on weddings of all shapes and sizes, there isn’t much we have not seen! We often work on Indian (Hindu), Catholic, Jewish and Christian ceremonies, or some fusion of these religious combinations. However, we have also worked on Greek Orthodox, Persian, Lebanese, Chinese, Buddhist, Baha’i, and secular weddings. We have worked on weddings with as few as 8 guests and others with as many as 600 guests! And we’ve had the pleasure to work with same-sex couples all over New England.

Question 5

What if we do not live in the state we want to marry?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in working with couples that live out of state, and sometimes, out of the country, who choose to marry in the New England area. We also work with many local couples that decide on a warm destination for their wedding celebration. We understand the need for excellent communication with these special clients that are not able to be physically present for as much of the planning process as they would like to be. The same applies to couples that happen to live outside of the New England area and select a wedding venue here. Comprehensive communication is the key to planning a successful event.

Question 6

Can we still be involved if we select your full-service package?

Accepted Answer

Very involved! We want you BOTH to be part of the decision making process. The more opinions and ideas you contribute, the better we can design and mastermind for you. Your wedding should be personal, so it should look like the two of you created it together. We are here to implement and execute your vision! If you are incredibly busy with work, school or family, we will make sure that you are still making all your own decisions. We will just provide more guidance and suggestions to make the process simple for you. If time saving is what you need, then that is what we will do for you.

Question 7

Do you carry insurance? And why is this important?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we hold both General Liability and Professional Insurance coverage. Why does this matter when hiring your vendors? Not only does this protect you from being responsible for any damage to your wedding venue that a vendor may accidentally cause, it is also requested by many reception venues now. As a planner, we are often required to provide a certificate of insurance to your venue as well as collect these certificates from the rest of your vendor team. Besides, don’t you want to know that whomever you hire is a true professional and is prepared for the worst-case scenario?! It is like having a Plan B.

Question 8

Do you have references you can provide?

Accepted Answer

Of course! We can send a list of reference so that you may reach out to these previous clients and ask them questions that concern you the most.
