Bridal Consulting/Wedding Planning
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 offering a stress-free and exciting planning process.
Our relationship with each client is personalized. We listen to what you want and then work with your budget to create your fairytale wedding. 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.
What To Expect
We offer a complimentary consultation for brides-to-be and their fiancées and/or family members. The consultation consists of wedding visions, style, budget, and date. Upon signing a contract, we schedule your first planning session, and the fun begins!
