Consultation Services
We will meet on three occasions to have a clear understanding of your visions, requirements and goals for your wedding. The first and third sessions will mirror each other as we will have a general discussion on wedding logistics to include but not limited to: venue site information, vendors, timelines and time management as well as bridal party details and expectations. The second session will be tailored to your need/priority.
Unlimited telephone and email correspondence.
Once we have completed our first consultation meeting, you will be provided a comprehensive checklist that summarizes all tasks and details that must be completed before your wedding day.
