If you are recently engaged and challenged with planning your wedding, you may want to consider hiring a Professional Wedding Consultant to guide you through the process.

A consultant can make the most efficient use of your time and help you bring your creative vision to light by:

A Wedding Consultant can play any or all of the following roles for you:

Inventor: Inspire Ideas and Creative Concepts
Put a new spin on the old, or reinvent tradition all together. Together we can fashion a wedding that reflects your unique personal style and makes your guests feel honored.

Financial Advisor: Managing the Budget
Get the most out of what you can comfortably spend on your wedding. Your consultant can guide you in estimating expenses, creating a realistic budget, tracking expenditures and due dates for upcoming payments.

Facilitator: Manage the Details
Take the stress out of your wedding by relying on your consultant to handle details. You don?t need to worry about confirming appointments, dealing with vendors, and coordinating deliveries and pickups. By handing over the legwork and follow-up to a professional, you can minimize the stress of planning your wedding and maximize the enjoyment of the biggest event of your life!

Resource Center: Select Vendors and Sites
Avoid hours of research and interviews with suppliers. Your wedding consultant has detailed information on file and knows which vendors best meet your needs and fit your budget. You will receive highly informative worksheets about every vendor recommended by your consultant, who can also arrange necessary interviews and handle bookings.

Intermediary: Give Impartial Advice
Eliminate the potential for conflict. Your extended family, future in-laws, and close friends have the potential to confuse your plans with well-intended advice. As an interested ?third party,? your wedding consultant can offer practical solutions to these emotionally charged situations. Honest, impartial guidance can help you ensure that your wedding day fulfills your dreams.

Etiquette Advisor: Provide Social Expertise
Avoid embarrassing mistakes, oversights, and hurt feelings. Your wedding consultant can help you plan a socially correct wedding, from how to word your wedding invitation to what attire would be most appropriate for your event. In today?s culturally diverse environment, etiquette requires constant reassessment and adaptation to meet the needs and comfort of everyone involved in your wedding.

Negotiator: Get the Best Deal
Eliminate the stress of negotiation. Proposals and contracts require reading between the lines. Knowing what to ask for counts for a lot, and your wedding consultant knows how to ask questions and negotiate contracts that protect your best interest.

Director: Plan, Coordinate, and Schedule
Free yourself from the responsibility of directing a production where you should concentrate on playing the starring role. Your wedding consultant, with your wishes in mind, takes over as director and calls the shots on lights, camera, action?and everything else, from the time you start planning until the last crumb of cake gets cleaned up after the reception.

Heroine: Handling a Crisis
Take comfort in knowing that you have someone who can handle any unforeseen circumstance, small or large. Your wedding consultant comes prepared for just about anything, from split seams to broken shoe heels to locking your keys in your car!
