The Big Day is here...you've dotted all your i's and crossed your t's. You are ready to let someone else put all the details together. Relax and enjoy your friends and family, let us handle the work. We will meet with you prior to your wedding day and get all the plans and aesthetics from you personally. We send you a fill in the blank wedding day form so we have the family names and wedding party attendants. So we can create a cohesive and seamless event for you. This is where you give us any special information or instructions about the wedding. You are handing over the reigns and trusting us to bring your vision to life.

We start planning with you as soon as we decide to start working together.

We have wonderful rapport with the wedding vendors in the area and can help match you up with the perfect professionals for your wedding day. We will meet with you twice before your wedding if travel allows and take over the reigns from you about a month before the event. Once we have your ideal timing for the weekend, we will contact your vendors and confirm that everyone is on the same page. We handle the ceremony rehearsal and help with dinner if you'd like. We also handle the ceremony and reception set up and break down, oversee the vendor arrivals and installation, manage the flow for the wedding day...and make sure you are happily married when you leave for the night.

This is your day...We want to help you and your fiance put together all those small (and large) details you've been thinking about. Tying all the pieces together for the Big Day takes time, organization, skill and a strong network of seasoned vendors. We have the pleasure of working with the best wedding vendors in the area.
