How are we here for you?
Our promise to you is simple. We want your planning experience and event day to be smooth and fun. To do this, we focus on getting to know you and your goals for your event, whether it be a magical wedding day, fabulous birthday party or an exciting holiday party. From there, our service levels are broken down into simple and natural design and planning steps to keep everything on track and make sure no detail is overlooked. Once it’s all wrapped up and ready to go, our team executes the plans with your vendor team to make sure it all goes according to plan while you can stay present and enjoy the day.
What services do you offer?
For planning events, we offer three different service levels. Here's a quick summary of these levels:
Full Service
We guide you every step of the way, making the planning process simple, organized and fun! We work with you from the very beginning, starting with creating your budget and finding your venue, to matching you with the perfect vendors to make it all happen. We’ll work through wrapping it all up and finalizing the details, then coordinating the big day to make sure it all happens as planned so you and your guests can enjoy every moment.
Wedding/Event Day Management
This service focuses on wrapping up the planning process and executing your wedding/event day. On event day, we work with your vendor team, serving as the project manager to make sure everything goes smoothly behind and in front of the curtain so to speak, so you and your guests get to enjoy every moment. We serve as the project manager, coordinating the vendor team and all the details to make sure everything goes as planned.
Contact us for a complimentary consultation to see what planning service might be best for you and your event. Please note, we do not offer hourly or personal assistant style day-of service. If you are looking for someone to simply check off your to-do list or set decor, we are happy to offer recommendations for companies that are fabulous at this.
What do you mean by team planning or the capacity your team has?
One of the reasons our clients choose to work with us is because of our concept of team planning. We have more than one lead planner on staff and our entire team is aware of all the events we are working on. We have many systems in place to document where our clients are in the process, their decisions so far and what is happening with them. Because of this, if something should cause your lead planner to be unavailable during the planning process or on event day, our other team members are able to jump in and keep things moving smoothly with no hiccups or difficult transitions. Our clients love the feeling that they are covered no matter what and we have their backs!
What other services do you offer?
Paper
We LOVE paper, so we started offering stationery services to those we work with for planning and anyone else who needs these wonderful products. There are so many things to do with paper, from invitations and personal stationery to holiday cards and coasters! We can also direct your guests at your event from signage, to place cards to menus. You can check out a complete list of what we offer here.
How do we stay organized?
Oh, the systems we have in place! First, all our wedding and event planning clients receive access to our online system. In this system, we track everything from budget, checklists, and guest lists to vendor contracts and floor plans. It’s all available 24/7 so you can check it anytime. We also tend to hold most of our meetings over Zoom. This allows everyone involved in the planning process to attend and stay in the loop, whether out town, out of state, or even out of the country. Even for our local clients, we find that if there’s no travel time involved, it makes it easier to work meetings around their schedules. Finally, we are excellent notetakers. In every meeting you’ll see we write down every detail and make sure that those items show up in vendor contracts and documentation, so nothing gets overlooked.
