More often than not, I've found that clients haven't sat down to talk about their wedding budget.

The first thing I ask my clients is what their budget is. By defining their budget, we can define the most appropriate venue(s) selections as well as vendors, decor, etc.

Prior to starting any event planning, we always want to have a clear understanding of the goals and the budget involved so that everyone is on the same page. We will also provide constructive feedback on what can (or can't work) based on time constraints or budget.

Our years of experience and connections within the industry allows us to streamline the planning process as we can weed out the areas that are not going to work for you. For example, if you have a $2,000 flower budget, why would you spend the time meeting with a florist who has a $3,500 minimum order requirement? We pride ourselves in helping you achieve a beautiful wedding and we will offer recommendations on cost savings along the ways so you can get more for your valued dollar.

The most important aspect of your wedding is the celebration of life, love, family and friends.

Should you need assistance with preparing your budget, please check out our new consulting/budget package called "We're Engaged....now what?""
