Hiring a wedding planner to help with the coordinating of your event can be one the most valuable choices you can make. We help with all aspects involoved and leave only the choices up to you.

Q

Is it going to cost me more in the long run if I hire a wedding planner?
|
|
A

Hiring a wedding planner may just do the opposite and help save you money. There are so many choices for wedding vendors and their prices and quality can vary greatly. Being local to the outer banks we know who to work with based on previous experience. We also have the ability to stretch budgets and to show what areas are of top importance and were it is possible to save. Our website store also gives us an ability to purchase many items at wholesale and to pass the savings to you.

Q

How important is a wedding budget?

Setting a wedding budget should be one of your top priorities. Sticking to your budget should be priority number two.

There is a wide array of vendors and an even wider range of pricing, it is our job to fit what you want into what you can reasonably afford.

Q
|
Is there a charge for our first meeting/consultation?
|
|
A
|
Absolutely not. I enjoy meeting new brides to discuss her ideas, wants and needs. The initial consultation is complimentary.
|
|
Q
|
How do you charge for your services?
|
|
A
|
I believe that each wedding is individual, and the needs unique. It is hard to put a flat rate on something so specialized as a wedding. I would spend about an average of 150-200 hours of work on each wedding (full services). Each fee is tailored for each wedding/service and the amount of work needed.

A
|
Yes, and yes. I will work to stay within your pre-arranged budget, or help you come up with a reasonable one if you haven’t already done so. I am involved with a network of various wedding-related vendors and experts. I will do my best to help you financially.
|
|
Q
|
Do you require a deposit or retainer?
|

Yes, I require a deposit of 25% of the total fees for services.
