Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Nope! To fully give my best to my clients, I only take on one event at a time. When you book with me I block your weekend.

Question 2

Do you plan other events besides weddings?

Accepted Answer

Yes!! We’ve pretty much planned them all by now. From bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays, quinceaneras, anniversaries and other milestones, we love to design and celebrate all occasions. Please inquire for specifics related to your event.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

I have an amazing team of 2 -4 assistants that I have worked with closely the last several years. As a boutique business, I pride myself on being the primary connection from your first inquiry to our final farewell, which means you will always get ME :) I delight in working closely with my couples and pouring extra thoughtfulness & heart into every wedding.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

I've been planning, designing, & managing events for over 16 years. I've covered everything from large scale school events, parties, bridal + baby showers, quinceaneras, and weddings. My largest wedding guest count was 400 people! This extensive experience allows me to bring an elevated level of thoughtfullness, strategy, and care to each client. As an in house design business with creative and building skills, I can bring any vision to life in a way that is not just beautiful, but uniquely yours.

Question 5

How much time should we expect to spend with you?

Accepted Answer

Hours vary from each service provided. You can expect amazing communication and quality with every service I provide!

Question 6

How far in advance should we book your services?

Accepted Answer

I encourage booking as early as possible to secure your date and allow for ample preparation time, especially when it comes to full service planning and design. Typically no later than 9-12 months is ideal. As design is one of my specialty services that books fast, the earlier the better! I’m always sad when I have to turn people away! Don’t save your coordinator until the last minute either. Their role is KEY on wedding day. I highly recommend 4-6 months out.
