Frequently Asked Questions

• Do you have a customer satisfaction or refund policy?
  Yes, if clients are not happy with our work, they can terminate the contract at any time.
• What are your qualifications? Have you been professionally trained or certified?
  We have been planning events and weddings for over 20 years. Most of us have had training in public relations and event planning. The owner has a Project Management Institute Certification and training from Weddings Beautiful and ABC.
• How many weddings have you planned?
  This year alone, we have planned and executed 20 weddings.
• How do you assist in planning a wedding? What services do you provide?
  Please see our website for the various packages we offer. We can provide as much or as little assistance as you need.
• Please describe the entire process you recommend, including before, during, and after the wedding.
  First we sit down with you to determine your vision and theme. We work with you on the plan and plan your wedding the way you always wanted it to be. We do give guidance, but never tell you what to do. We are honest about our policies and what is included in each of our packages. We are there on the day itself and ensure all rental items are returned to vendors.
• Do you recommend specific wedding professionals?
  We normally recommend professionals with whom we have worked in the past. All have outstanding reputations and give our clients discounts on their rates.
• Do you get a "kickback" from vendors?
  Never! As a member of the Association of Bridal Consultants, we are taught never to take kickbacks from vendors. All of our vendors pass on any discounts to our clients.
• Can I afford a bridal consultant?
  Even if it's only for the wedding day itself, I recommend that all brides have a consultant. You can do as much or as little of the planning that you have the time for. You can leave all of the wedding day details to someone outside of the family so that you, your parents, and guests can enjoy the day without all the additional stress that goes along with ensuring everything runs smoothly.
• What are your rates?
  Our rates are very competetive depending on the package. We have hourly rates starting at $75.00 per hour and package rates starting at $1,500.
• What makes you different from other bridal consultants/wedding planners?
  We are totally hands-on. Everyone works, including the owner. We have been told by clients, vendors, event sites, hotel and banquet managers and many other professionals that we are different than the average consultant. We pride ourselves on that fact.
