Respect: This is something I never thought i'd have to remind people, but here it goes!
- - Wedding planning can be extremely stressful for a lot of couples, their family and friends. Emotions can run high, especially when matters of the heart, family and financials are involved. We TOTALLY get it! However, if there is anything that you are ever unhappy about, concerned about just downright frustrated about - we ask that you please let us know in a calm, respectful manner. We have had some unfortunate scenarios with clients in the past, and we don't expect that to happen again - but just so that we are all on the same page! under no certain circumstances do we tolerate any harassing, threatening, vulgar, sexual or abusive language in ANY form. This applies not only to you and your fiancé, but to any family members or friends that are involved in your planning process. In the event we receive any communications containing any of the above aspects, you will be given one warning. If it happens again thereafter, the contract provision will apply and the contract will be terminated. Wedding Planning is supposed to be a fun experience and while we understand that tensions can run high at times, there is never any need for that type of behavior.
Designated Points of contact: If you would like us to communicate with other members of the family/bridal party/or anyone other than you two, please let us know by saying it's okay in writing, via email. If these people are allowed to make decisions on your behalf - we definitely need to know that too!

DO

DO: Copy us on all communication to vendors & send introductory emails to your existing vendors and us !
DO: Let us know if you are thinking of making any major changes to your day BEFORE doing so, such as: firing a vendor, changing timing of the ceremony, reception, etc. or even changing the day! (yes, it's actually happened!)

DONT

DO NOT: schedule any final calls with ANY vendors without us being present for them
DO NOT: allow any vendor to dictate the timeline other than us, as we have to make sure it makes sense for both you two as a couple, but for all other factors at play and the venue

FAQs

*Always confer with your planner*

When do I send out wedding invitations?
- We do something I like to call "invitation math" when we onboard you, but here is general rule of thumb:
  - Find the date you need to tell your venue (usually 2 weeks-10 days prior to your event), then go back a week (so you have a week to call people!) and that should be your RSVP date.
  - From that RSVP date, go back 11 weeks and that is the date that you should send out the invitations so that your guests have 8-10 weeks to respond.
  - IF you are ordering specialty invites from somewhere other than a website, you may need to order your invitations as early as 5 months prior, otherwise, you should order your invites 2 months prior to when you need to send them out.

Will you schedule my makeup & hair trials?
- While we can absoloutely send an email to get the conversation started with your vendor, you and the vendor should plan to conduct the trial together on your own schedules. We are not present for the trial, nor do we coordinate the scheduling for you.
