Initial Consultation
The initial consultation between the planner and the client serves to set the groundwork as to what the client is expecting from us as your planner and what the client is planning to do. The client may be the bride, the groom, the mother or father of the bride, the mother or father of the groom or any combination of these people.
We encourage an initial consultation meeting at no charge so that we may get to know each other. This is your wedding, and we look for personal insight into your likes, dislikes, passions and preferences. From locations and décor to favorite food and colors, learning your wishes gives us the material so that we can create the special day you desire. It's Your Day and our job is to make it happen Your Way.
