Frequently Asked Questions

How would you define your "style"?

Elegant, Boho, Rustic, Trendy, Timeless, the list goes on. We love to design and have done all types of events. Weddings, parties, corporate events, political events, open houses, showers and expos! We can do it all!

What does the process of working with your company look like?

We love to send an email questionnaire to you so that we can get a feel for what we can help you with. Then we set up an in person or phone meeting to get all the detail. We then prepare you a detailed proposal based on our meeting. Once you sign your contract and make the deposit, we assign you a team to work with though out the process. We take you through ever step with lots of list and reminders to keep you on track!

What is included in your most popular packages?

Our most popular is the dream package for events. It includeds everything to make your event perfect from start to finish!

What is a unique tip you tell your couples that is specific to your vendor category?

The thing almost every client tells us is ‘ I am afraid I will forget something”. Well, we won’t let you! You may never have pulled off a wedding or other event, but we have literally thousands of times! With my 25 plus years in the event world, we have all the bases covered and a backup plan for those bases! We have long ago worked all the kinks out and are ready to take you stress away! The best advice I can give you is let us do what we do so you can enjoy your event!

What advice would you give a couple who is starting the search for the perfect venue?

We love to help our couples find the perfect venue, however if you venue shop without us, please keep in mind these things, to make the perfect choice for your big day! First think of your guest count. Make sure the venue will hold your guest with room to move around and also that it is not so large, that your guest feel like the room is empty. Then make sure you have the venue enough time to decorate and set up. If you have a detailed event planned, it takes time to get it set up. Also make sure you can see you day in the venue. If you have always wanted a white barn, then find one. Don’t rent a ballroom for a rustic wedding.

Is it worth hiring a planner or coordinator?

Yes, there are many details that go into an event. And if you have not done one before you need help. Another great reason is to free up yourself and your family to enjoy the day not running around.

We are a mother-in-law, daughter in-law duo! And our name is on our business! So, we will get it right the first time! Our goal is to make each client feel like family forever!

How did you get started as a wedding pro?

Five Years ago, while planning my son and “Daughter-In-Law ” My now Partners Kayla’s” wedding, we discovered that we not only love the process of planning and executing the wedding but that we were also in love with working together. Our collective style of traditional meets modern lends itself perfectly to execute weddings and events of all designs. We love what we do!

Share a piece of advice to reduce stress in the wedding planning process.

When planning a wedding, hire a professional and let them do what they are trained to do! Relieve your stress! Trust the process and focus on the memories you are making. We will do the rest!

What's your favorite wedding tradition and why?

Our favorite tradition by far is the couple that start their own tradition! Maybe it’s having your bride record her vows and then your DJ plays them as the Groom walks down the aisle, Goosebumps! Or maybe you provide a small cake on each reception table and as a couple you go to each table and cut the cake with your guest that way no one misses it! Or maybe your officiant stands in the aisle and the couple faces him so everyone can see your face not your back! Our favorite tradition is the one that is perfect for your wedding! Make your day your own do it the way it makes you happy! We love to help incorporate things that will become a tradition for your family!

Tell us more about the couples you usually get the pleasure of working with.

We have had the honor of working with many types of couples. Some that only want a little help executing the wedding or event they have already planned, to the type of couple who walk in and say this is what I like, and I just want to show up and it be perfect, and we take it from there!

What are some of the best compliments you've received from your clients?

We love doing beautiful, over the top events with the wow factor . But we still beam with pride when a couple or their guest say to us the event went so smooth . Or it was perfect ! Because there are so many factors that come into play , but we work hard to make executive decisions on your behalf so that we never have to ask you questions or interrupt you at your event and we handle all the stress or issues, so that you or your guest never knew it happened.
