- Question:
- The church/reception hall already comes with a coordinator included in the package. They'd take care of everything that you would‚ right?
- Answer:
- Not necessarily. Unfortunately many couples sell themselves short by assuming that the church hostess or banquet facilitator will take care of everything that needs to be done prior to and on your wedding day.
- Being "part of the package" usually means that church hostess will run the wedding rehearsal and wedding and‚ the caterer will make sure the food is served and the champagne flows. That does not mean that they will find hotel rooms for out of town guests‚ keep you on track throughout the planning process‚ monitor your budget or make sure any rental equipment is returned. They also may not be able to give you their undivided attention when it comes to your needs while planning your wedding.
- Every Last Detail serves as your personal coordinators with your best interests in mind. We are your local contact and serve as your "eyes and ears"‚ allowing you to make informed wedding decisions while living your normal life. This is especially important when planning a wedding from afar.
- Question:
- Why should I hire a Professional Coordinator?
- Answer:
- Studies show that today's bridal couple‚ as well as their families‚ are either working or going to school full time leaving little time to organize their wedding. We have the knowledge and resources needed to help the couple with time restraints and consider it our specialty. Here's a perfect example: A frantic bride called us from work asking for help. She had just discovered that the bakery that was making her wedding cake didn't deliver. The wedding was only two weeks away. Needless to say‚ she was upset with herself for assuming the cake would be delivered. Well‚ first we calmed her down‚ then gathered some information from her regarding the cake budget‚ style and number of servings. We then made some phone calls and‚ within and hour‚ called her back with a bakery that could fill her order. We definitely saved her the time‚ money and effort of having to find a cake herself.
- Question:
- I want to plan my own wedding but may need a little help along the way. How could your services benefit me?
- Answer:
- Many couples wonder where to begin planning their wedding - No sense in ordering invitations when you haven't decided where to have the wedding. We can get you on track and can offer as much or as little help as you need. We can assist in the planning from start to finish‚ offer help on a specific aspect‚ or can serve as your "Day Manager" on the big day just to make sure everything runs smoothly. We offer a lot of variety within our services so one is sure to fit your needs.
- Question:
- I'm not sure we can afford a coordinator. What should we do?
- Answer:
- The truth is‚ our services can fit into most any budget. Often we can save you money by suggesting less expensive alternatives to something you have in mind. Remember‚ inexpensive doesn't have to mean cheap! We have experience working within a wide range of budgets and can show you how to make your money go farther.
