Q. Why do I need to hire a planner when so many people these days DIY?
A. When people plan their own functions and weddings, often they miss important details. Small things that don’t seem as important and you don’t notice till the big day arrives and it’s too late. I have acquainted myself with many vendors, caterers, photographers and other businesses that need to be dealt with and it’s possible to get discounts for certain items and services for you. It is more stressful than people realize planning events and having to keep track of all the details. I will free you from stress and you'll enjoy a memorable event.
Q. Can I plan most or part of the event myself and get you to take care of the stuff that I think I won’t be able to handle as well?
A. Yes, I have packages suited to people who want to plan all, some or none of their event. Take a look at my services page for details and prices.
