During our first meeting we assess what is important to you. What is your dream for a wedding? What is your personal brand or style? What about your thoughts regarding a budget? After we determine your wedding needs, we assist you with research, vendor recommendation, creative direction and management of your wedding dream!

This management package is a favorite with our brides! We understand that some couples will begin their wedding planning; secure several details then hit a roadblock (time management, people management or vendor management). Or maybe you have decided that you simply want to enjoy your wedding planning without worrying about all of the little details that are causing you angst. With this package, we offer professional guidance to help you organize the planning process, find the right vendors, achieve the wedding day design that fits your style. We want you to have the opportunity to spend quality time with your fiancé and relax on your wedding day. Please contact us to discuss this service package in further detail.
