What can a consultant do for me that I can't do myself?

A consultant can save you money by creating a realistic budget and help you prioritize so that your money is being spent on things that are important to you.  A consultant will help you get deals that you otherwise may not get on your own.  Consultants have experience with vendors in the area and will get you the best possible price for the services you are looking for.

How can a consultant help me?

1. Save you time.  Planning a wedding is very time consuming.  Consultants do most of the research for you and let you still make the final decisions.
2. Consultants will refer you to vendors known for their quality and reputation.  Consultants know who in the area is good and who is not.
3. Peace of mind.  A consultant will make sure everything runs smoothly from start to finish.
4. A consultant will help avoid making costly mistakes and make the most of your wedding budget.
5. A consultant can be the main contact for all vendors and services so that you only have to deal with one person.
6. As your consultant I will have an emergency kit on hand for any unexpected mishaps during your wedding.

I am on a budget.  How can I afford a consultant?

When you think of a wedding consultant you think of extra costs.  This is not the case.  Consulting fees are not an added cost to your budget.  These fees should be considered part of your wedding budget and will be covered by saving money in other areas through your consultant, with less work to be done on your part.  A consultant knows vendors in the area and knows who is in your price range.  A consultant also has bargaining skills that will help you to get deals that you might not get on your own.  Consultants have experience working with a lot of other companies in the area. As your consultant, I will be able to get you the best services for you dollar.

How much do you charge?

Fees are based on the level of service in each package and/or your special needs.  Consultants are not paid commission by the vendors.  All packages can be altered to adjust to your needs and wants.  I will work with each couple to come up with a fair and attainable fee.

I am a control freak.  Why would I want a consultant?

A consultant can help you come up with themes, help with budgeting, provide you with questionnaires for all vendors which will assist you with making sure all details are covered before signing contracts.  Consultants are available for as much or as little service based on your wants.  I also provide a wedding day only coordination service to assure your wedding day runs smoothly and you are worry free on your special day.

Will my consultant make decisions based in my personal tastes and preferences?

Yes, definitely.  I will work with your personal ideas and offer suggestions based on your unique tastes and preferences.  In the end, your wedding will be a reflection of your own individual personality.
