Why hire a wedding planner?

Overwhelmed about what it takes and how much preparation will be involved in creating your dream day?  Wedding Planners/Coordinators should not be thought of as a luxury only the rich can afford because that isn’t true at all!!!  If you hire a Planner/Coordinator they will apply their wide knowledge and experience turning your vision into reality while also saving you valuable time and money!!

The average wedding takes…… are you ready for it??? …… between two and three hundred hours to plan.  Do you have that much time to spare?

Planners/Coordinators are not there to make the decisions for you but they are there to guide you and help you make the proper decisions that will help you to make your vision real!

Another thing that planners/coordinators do at times is mediate between brides, grooms and their families.  They can almost sometimes be just like your best friend!  And in my experience some of my clients have become very dear friends of mine!   It has been so rewarding to watch some of the couples I’ve worked for turn into families! :)

How do you know if you have found the right Planner?  Like any relationship your gut feeling is always right.  You must feel trust and comfort toward your planner and feel assured that they have a full understanding of the vision at hand.

Ritzer/Koch Wedding September 12, 2009!!!

First of all I would really like to take this opportunity to congratulate the new Mr. & Mrs. Jeremy & Stacey Koch!!! This wedding was an absolute pleasure to do!!! The bride was absolutely stunning!!! The weather was gorgeous they could not have had a better day! And The Birches is a great venue to hold an outdoor wedding! The ceremony on the water was breathtaking and what made it even more special was the live music provided by The Mitch Beube Band their sound is so amazing they would make any event terrific! They played throughout the cocktail reception and their talent is beyond words you have to listen for yourself check out their website! The food was fabulous the reception was catered by Now That’s Catering they couldn’t have better people on staff and I’ll say it again the food was fabulous!!! Stacey & Jeremy really lucked out when it came to vendors looking after their special day they were all a pleasure to work with and I hope to work with them all again in the future! Other vendors taking part in the day included Paul Bennet of PM Productions he did the photography & DJ Jean Paul from Flashpoint Productions he was a very interactive DJ which is always the best at a wedding! What fun we had doing this wedding! It will be one of my favourites for a long time to come! Congrats Stacey & Jeremy all the best from My Sweet Wedding Co.

Last second wedding invites!

I know it has been a while since I last blogged but things have be rather hectic this year! Trying to restructure the business and take it in a whole new direction as well as serving brides can kind of tie you up! I had the pleasure of doing some invitations for a lovely bride to be Soragia she was so much fun to work with but the job was a rush so I didn’t get too much time to get to know her, but from what I have figured out she is a terrific person and will make a beautiful bride! She is getting married in October and will be having her reception at Cullen Central Park I want to wish her and Mark all the best and I look forward to seeing pictures after the wedding!
