We begin our relationship by finding out what is most important to our clients. Determine a plan that is best for both client and planner. We prioritize what is appropriate for the budget. Our best asset is having the ability to give our clients the best vendors and venue selection without winking an eye!

Q.	Please describe the entire process you recommend, including before, during, and after the wedding.
Process begins with an evaluation of the event. Staying on top of all items that need to be completed prior to the big day and learning to spread our time wisely! We make our recommendations based on the style and preferences of our client. We then offer a solution based on the style, scope and budget.

We do NOT accept commissions from our vendors. Our reward is to get referrals based on the amount of business we recommend to our vendors.

Q.	Can I afford a bridal consultant?
You absolutely can't afford NOT have one. A bridal consultant can save you more than just her fees in savings with vendors, she saves you your sanity!

Q.	What are your rates?
Our rates are based on the size and scope of your event. We do not feel a percentage based fee makes sense. If you have budgeted $50,000 and you spend $30,000, who really comes out ahead? You do! All of our programs are customized to fit our clients needs.
