WHY HIRE A WEDDING PLANNER?
Are you too busy to plan and orchestrate the wedding of your dreams? Are you overwhelmed by stacks of bridal magazines and wedding shows and don't know where to start? Are you a perfectionist and worried you’ll be stressed and not enjoy your wedding day? Busy schedules these days don't allow for the research and running around that wedding planning requires. A planner can sort through the endless number of possibilities while catering to your unique taste and budget. A planner's vendor knowledge and relationships also pay-off in time and money. Whether it's the "must have" band or the creative florist that you read about in Seattle Bride Magazine, a planner has the leverage to get on a vendor’s priority list and negotiate a price that fits your budget. Most importantly, a planner can ease the stress and make this very special day fun and worry free! THE VOWS APPROACH It's your show. I'm there to reduce your stress and give you the confidence to let loose and enjoy this romantic day! This is a collaboration. I make a special effort to make the M.O.B. (a.k.a. Mother of the Bride) feel like princess #2. And don’t worry groom! You won’t be lost in the process! I feel the partnership begins not after the wedding, but during the preparations. Basically, this is the time when the groom let’s the bride have anything she wants. (Just kidding!) I’m excited to work with any groom who wants to tackle more than the tuxes. You define my role. I can point you in the right direction with creative ideas and vendor referrals or hold your hand until your magical send-off to the honeymoon suite. You decide which Vows package best fits your needs… MY BACKGROUND My experience includes ten years in the wedding, public relations and corporate events business, so I know the nature of people, the importance of relationships, and that good taste is #1. My style is current yet classic… more Banana Republic, but I can do Betsey Johnson! I'm an avid magazine reader. Excitement for me is when the latest Seattle Bride or Martha Stewart Wedding hits the stands. I'm always on the lookout for new and creative ways to make a wedding exquisite and memorable. I love a challenge. I'm hardworking, determined and energetic. I'm also understanding. The reality of a wedding is that it's overwhelming, emotional and fraught with "life or death" decisions. I empathize with my clients while putting things in perspective. I've lived many years in Seattle (celebrated my own wedding here) and know the places and faces that will make your wedding day extra special. Let me help you take the stress out of saying "I Do". It would be a pleasure. Sincerely,
