time
According to a recent “modern bride” magazine* survey,
“the average engaged girl spends 34% of her time on the job planning her nuptials.”*
money
Consultants have contacts with other vendors and can often obtain discounts for the couple, many times helping to offset the consultant’s fee. since consultants may also aid in planning, setting and maintaining the wedding budget, we may help you avoid overspending.
ideas
Consultants are trained (through classes and/or experience) to be creative. we look for the little details to enhance your wedding. we can find alternatives that satisfy your dreams while staying within your budget.
research
Consultants have done the research for you. we know the best vendors in the area. we can recommend the services which best meet your dreams, budget, and personality.
managing details
From guest favors to ceremony arrangements, consultants keep it all together. we “handle all those nit-picky details you don’t want to worry about like sprinkling rose petals on your place card table and making sure the boutonnieres are all pinned on correctly.”**
etiquette
Consultants know the etiquette from wording the invitations to directing the processional line. we can answer the questions regarding every aspect of the wedding.
advocation
Consultants may act as your liaison with vendors and services. we can peruse contracts and make sure your interests are protected.
peace of mind
Consultants take care of emergencies. we are prepared with emergency kits for anything from a run in a bridesmaid’s stocking to a torn seam. “a consultant lets you relax and enjoy your wedding day. she’s the one who worries for you – so you can relax and smile!”**
