• As soon as possible so that we can be proactive in getting you ready for the big day! Hiring a wedding planner early can ensure finding the right vendors, staying within the budget, and saving time by avoiding mistakes.

• I am open to working with a vendor I've never worked with. All vendors must be licensed and insured professionals. While the bride and groom ultimately make the wedding decisions, I require couples to have my approval of the wedding vendor prior to booking them.

• It is preferred that you allow the planner to do all of the vendor communication for your wedding to prevent any confusion or accidental hiccups in the planning process. Even if the vendor is someone you personally know, we still require all of their contact information so that we can relay your wedding needs so that your wedding day is a success. If you only hire us for wedding coordination, then we will not be the single point of contact until our services start about 6 weeks out from your wedding date.

• Yes we do! You can find more info about our services under the "Services" Tab on our website!

• Your venue coordinator is responsible for overseeing the set-up, food and beverage, and logistics as it relates directly to the venue. An outside wedding planner will coordinate and manage ALL logistics and design details with your entire wedding vendor team. We will make your wedding planning process easier and stress-free and simplify the jobs of your entire vendor team, including your venue coordinator! From timelines, floorplan, and all the details in between, we will work hand in hand with your venue coordinator to ensure your wedding day is flawless!

• Yes; Any traveling 50 miles out from our office is subjected to an additional traveling fee. 

• The short answer is yes; Please feel free to contact your planner at any time via email. However, in order for you to get the most out of your time with your planner, all non-urgent correspondence will be collected and researched as needed, and then discussed at our next scheduled meeting. We will let you know that we received your message, but we want you to be aware that the planner may be meeting with another client or working on a wedding and therefore cannot always respond right away. Email is preferred so that we have a written record to look back to. 

• For A La Carte services, we require the entire payment upfront. For wedding packages, we require a 40% non-refundable booking fee (otherwise known as a down payment) to secure our services for your wedding date, 30% 90 days prior to the wedding date, and the remaining 30% 30 days prior to the wedding date. Payment plans can be negotiated and must be done prior to signing the wedding planner contract.
