Something to consider:

Choosing the right Coordinator is a critical decision when you realize your coordinator will not only be responsible for making sure all lose ends connect long before your wedding day or event arrives, but will also attend your wedding or event, interacting with you, your vendors, guests or associates.

Your coordinator represents

you and your style.

Tips and Advice:


[SAVE MONEY on GOWNS to FAVORS]


In today's economy it is really important to stretch our dollar as far as we can and getting married can be very costly if we dont shop wisely.

 

You will find that you are spending money left and right when you realize that you need to buy everything from your gown, shoes, jewelry, favors, plane tickets, makeup, invitations, decorations, and gifts for your attendants ... well I have found an little known secret to making all of these expenditures pay you back!

 

YES, I found an online rewards program  that allows you to shop in a MAJOR online wedding shop buying brand name items you want ... but the secret is this - you will earn money BACK from every purchase you make if you make the purchase through the rewards mall.

 

Heck you may even earn enough money back to pay for your honeymoon when all is said and done! You will be spending that money anyway you

might as well make it pay you back!

 

One of my brides used that program and told me she earned $1822.34 back over the course of 10 months of wedding spending! I was impressed by that so I  checked it out for myself and it's real. It was pretty easy to do but there are a couple of tricks for you need to know. 


 

[CHOOSING A PHOTOGRAPHER] 


Many times a friend or family member will generously offer to photograph a couple's wedding as their 'gift to you'. This is very sweet but often times a disappointment since that person is sometimes swept away with visiting people they haven't seen for a long time - missing important shots or forgetting their function altogether. The friend is not able to truly relax and join your celebration if they are in fact recording your memories as they unfold. I have also found that the end product naturally tends to yield more photos of the people they know intimately than 'the other side of the family'. I encourage brides to graciously accept their offer by saying "Thanks for offering - can you just cover our engagement photos? We'd like you to celebrate WITH us that day." This is the best recommendation I can make on your behalf when it comes to getting the best photojournalism into the end product - YOUR WEDDING ALBUM! A professional photographer is unbiased, there for the sole purpose of catching your GOLDEN MOMENTS.


Interesting fact: Half of the couples who buy our elopement package elope because they were married before and finally found their TRUE life companion. They just wanted to  keep their wedding low key, while making their new union very significant & sweet.

What do you do now?

Call and ask for Stephanie.

Tell her you have a lot of questions

and you dont know where to start:
