Bridal Consulting and Wedding Planning


Bridal Consulting/Wedding Planning – He has swept you off your feet with an enchanting engagement proposal and you are floating on cloud nine.  Or maybe even ten!  You realize your dreams to be the most beautiful bride are about to become a reality.  It seems like a fairytale, yet may become a bit overwhelming.  That is where we step in.


Our motto for brides is simple:  Your wedding day is the first day of your new life!  We work with you every step of the way, from proposal to honeymoon, offering a stress free and FUN planning process.   


Our relationship with each client is unique and personalized.  We listen to what YOU want and then work with your budget to create your fairy tale dream day.  We are also realistic!  We consult each client through the creation of a budget, offering suggestions that keep you on task financially.  Most people have no idea how much a wedding may cost.  Our repertoire of vendors offers clients a variety of choices in various price ranges – ensuring that there is no sticker-shock and the decision making process is a smooth one.    


Pricing ensure that every bride may enjoy the ease of a wedding planner at a price she can afford.  An à la carte pricing list is also available to clients for additional hourly services.  Our initial consultation is complimentary.  We meet with each bride face to face (or in some long distance cases via phone) to discuss a plan of action and determine that the relationship is a perfect fit.
