Wedding Planning & Coordinating

  I will assist you in planning your wedding as much or as little as you need or want. I can help you with setting a budget (and sticking to it), choosing vendors that fit your needs, style and theme ideas; I also assist you in creating your own invitations, decorations and favors, if you, like many other brides, choose to do so. I can accompany you to your vendor appointments to ensure that you are getting exactly what you want for a price that fits your budget. I can help you find your ideal wedding dress and dresses for your bridesmaids and flower girl that fit the style, tone and color scheme of you wedding. I do not limit the number of times we talk, text, email, or meet in person for any set of services I offer. If you need me, I am here.
