Home  Introduction Philosophy Video Services Contact  Links   The following examples of packaging can be used as a guideline when developing the requirements for realizing your Dream Wedding! Please understand these services can and usually are customized to suit each bride's needs, and proposal fees will change accordingly.   Full Service Development and Production This service is suggested for the career-oriented bride who doesn't have time to do her own planning. Full service includes unlimited email and telephone calls during business hours and meetings as necessary to be sure we are synchronized in our thoughts. I will help you develop your budget, provide assistance with industry professionals after making preliminary phone calls to verify date availability, and then give you a list so you can make necessary appointments and decisions. I will also accompany you to your appointments if you desire. You will receive a wedding task timeline including monthly updates, customized with all aspects of your wedding, with deadlines for payment due to your vendors. I will assist with planning services such as ceremony script and/or music, bridal stationery and etiquette, rentals, gift baskets, bridal accessories, wedding favors, gown preservation, and tuxedo rental. If you need moral support on bridal portrait day, I'll be there. I will confirm your contacts with all vendors, introduce myself as your wedding consultant, and contact all guests who have not responded to your invitation, if desired. I will provide itineraries to all people involved in the wedding, including vendors and attendants so there will be no question as to where anyone needs to be. Also included with this service is rehearsal direction (if required), or attendance at the rehearsal for moral support. Ceremony and reception direction will begin with my arrival at the ceremony location at least an hour prior to any vendors, and I consider my service complete after the last guest leaves your reception. I will make sure this day remains as stress-free as possible for the bride, groom, and families, so this can truly be your Dream Wedding. Full service includes anything wedding-related. The suggested calendar time is six to twelve months, but this can be modified to suit your situation. Partial Development and Production You've developed your budget, visited and secured the church, found the reception site, the dress of your dreams, and you think you have everything under control. Suddenly, however, you feel overwhelmed and overcome. You've attended the bridal shows in your area and collected a shopping bag filled with information. You confusion is only limited by the number of people who contact you on a given day. Your neat planning binder has suddenly developed bulges and seems totally disorganized. Perhaps a wedding consultant stepping in at this point to allow a bit of stress relief might not be a bad idea! In this package you will find the itineraries referred to in the full service package, as well as the rehearsal, ceremony and reception direction. Meetings are limited to three two-hour appointments with clients and telephone calls limited to once weekly with unlimited email contact. The suggested calendar time is three to nine months, but this can be modified to suit your needs. Complements that may be added include: · Monthly task time lines · Attendance at appointments · RSVP follow-up · Block of consultant time to be used according to client's discretion for miscellaneous activities     Wedding Day Assistant Sometimes those last-minute jitters set in, even after all the vendors have been hired, contracts signed and invitations sent out. You think you have all your bases covered but would like someone who has professionally planned weddings on a regular basis to look over your lists and check everything twice. You might even have a few etiquette questions that need definitive answers. In addition, you need someone to lean on as your actual wedding day approaches, including directing the rehearsal, ceremony and reception. The above-mentioned itineraries are included in this package. Dream Weddings do come true! The suggested calendar time is one to two months but this can be modified to suit your schedule.
