What's the difference between a Wedding Planner & Wedding Coordinator?
To us, a wedding planner is someone that makes decisions and takes action on behalf of a couple to assist in their wedding planning. A wedding coordinator is someone who helps work with a couple to guide the couple into making decisions and taking action. We are wedding coordinators and I run my business basically like a consulting business: we will give you the information, facts, and provide recommendations to help you plan your wedding, but we will not plan your wedding for you or make decisions for you. We want couples to be involved and invested in their wedding planning process.

Will you purchase items for my wedding?
In most cases it will be the responsibility of a couple to make purchases for their own wedding. As wedding coordinators, we do not offer this sort of feature.
Are the vendors you recommend to clients paying you to recommend them?
No! We will not accept payment as a wedding coordinator to “push” any vendor to my clients. We will provide clients with recommendations based on my understanding of a vendors’ services and abilities, against the needs of my clients. We do, however, partner with a handful of vendors to provide discounted options to my couples. We will always provide full disclosure to my couples of who these vendors are!
