Many newly engaged couples are not exactly sure what a “wedding planner” can do for them. We live in a “do it yourself” age, and no one wants to pay for things they don’t need, or feel like they have been taken advantage of. So let’s talk for just a moment about what it is that a wedding planner can help you with.
First, we will help you come up with a plan for your big day and the months leading up to it. This is THE key to a great event.
Second, In a 4 county area of relaxing, quaint, rustic charm, chic, modern, luxuries, many lakes, beautiful venues, and stunning sunsets on the “big lake” (lake Michigan) we have much to offer any type of couple. Some venues do not have websites nor do they do a lot of advertising so you have to know the area and the right people to find them. It really helps to have someone that can direct you to areas and venues that are most likely to satisfy your expectations.
Third, we will help secure and negotiate the appropriate contracts to stay within your budget. We will give recommended budget advice for what you wish to do, and guide you along the way while allowing you the final decisions.
Fourth, we know the right vendors and importantly, PROFESSIONAL vendors to do a great job in every aspect of your wedding event and the events surrounding it. From photography to catering, live entertainment to rentals, flowers to decor and everything in between to insure that everyone knows their job and how to pull off your event in a professional manner. This doesn’t mean stuffy, it means confidence and a smooth flowing event without giving up the fun for the bride, groom, and family.
Fifth, we have over 25 years in the event industry and 13 years devoted to weddings in the SW Michigan area. We help you every step of the way from the moment you get engaged to the end of your beautiful gathering. We guide you through the process, recommend the right vendors to choose from, pull it all together, and manage your day(s) so that everything runs smoothly while allowing you, and your family and friends to truly enjoy their experience.
Sixth, we also have our in-house travel agency to help you plan your group needs surrounding the wedding such as group accommodations, sailing on a yacht or tall ship, dune rides, fishing trips, beach days, wine tastings, fruit picking, shopping trips, and more. We have everything to help you plan the perfect wedding weekend or weeklong event. We specialize in planning beautiful honeymoons as well no matter where you decide to go!
Seventh, we serve as your base of knowledge and expertise for your entire planning experience. You are hiring a professional. We have worked very hard to educate, network, and communicate to become the “expert” in our area.
Finally, we are your safety net. Our most serious responsibility is to make sure our clients are armed with all the information they need to make the right decisions for a memorable, fun, and safe event. We are your “insurance agent” of sorts. We work very hard to exceed our clients expectations. Should there be any problems along the way we are your sounding board, confidant, problem solver, and manager for a smooth planning experience and beautiful wedding day.
