Help! I want to plan my own wedding but I am overwhelmed with the details and decisions. What’s the best way to establish a time line for the planning process?

I have created an Event Checklist as a guide for clients who would like to do the planning on their own or with family members. Many choose to schedule a time for us to go through the Checklist so that I can answer questions and help get the process started. Some choose to periodically meet with me and “check in” during the process.


Busy with work and school, we’re searching for a seasoned professional who has the skill to plan our entire wedding and all related events for us.

Full service wedding and event planning is our specialty! We are known for our attention to detail. We make it possible for you to experience your celebration as a guest at your own event.


How do we create a realistic budget for our event?

Recognizing what a challenge it is to work with the finances in planning your event and understand that creating a budget is a necessity, I have created a Budget worksheet to use as a guide which can be customized for every client. It includes details such as how to split the cost of an event for different circumstances.


We have decided to have a religious wedding and need guidance in the religious aspects of the wedding.

Our families aren’t religious and we need help in talking them through the process, the ceremony and the parts family members play in this joyous, meaningful event.

I have worked extensively with couples who are interested in planning a religious wedding. I can provide resources and guidance in the planning process as well as involving family members who are unfamiliar with many of the aspects involved.


We would like to plan our own wedding but would like to hire a coordinator for “Day Of” service.

We begin our “Day Of” service two weeks before the wedding. The best way for us to help you plan out all aspects of the “Day Of” is to have a walk-through to determine your wishes for your special day. As we go through this process, we create the schedule and flow for the day that includes every possible detail. This is shared with the vendors and family members, and becomes the action guide for your wedding day.
