THE BEST LAID PLANS

What I often tell clients when we first speak is that you don’t need to hire a planner. Anyone can plan their own wedding. But, it’s great if you have room for one in your budget. Many couples don’t realize how many last-minute details must be coordinated between vendors, family, friends, and guests. This is the job of a wedding planner.
