Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located? Do you travel?
Indianapolis & surrounding areas. Yes, a destination wedding is a great reason to get out of town. Additional travel fees would apply.
I am pretty good at planning, Why would I need a Planner/Coordinator?
I love a client who has a knack for details and spreadsheets. We will work great together. Yet, wouldn't you rather enjoy your day instead of holding a clipboard barking orders? Do you want your cellphone ringing all morning from the caterer or limo driver while you are getting glammed up or fresh faded? Planners don't take off in the driver's seat and leave you wondering. We ride along with you on the journey and then you toss the keys to us when it's time for you to say "I Do".
My Venue already has an in-house coordinator. Do I really need a planner?
A venue coordinator is there to serve the venue. They are in charge of staff, facilities, tables and chairs, even their in-house catering. As a wedding planner, our job is to take care of YOU. Your vision, your interests, and your needs. Your planner will communicate to all your vendors, create a detailed timeline, be a point person for anything that may arise. Of course, as your planner, we will work very closely with in-house coordinators as a team.
Do you book more than one event for a weekend?
Absolutely not. We make sure we devote our time and effort to your big day. Many times this includes the day before for set up and maybe even the day after for clean up.
Do you run the rehearsal?
YES! As your wedding planner, I want to ensure your rehearsal and any last-minute details are tended to and your bridal party members are comfortable in how the day will run. Practice makes perfect.
Do you charge by the hour or a flat fee?
No, I do not charge by the hour. I believe in giving personal attention to details and working as many hours as needed to ensure your day is what you want. I don't believe in hidden fees or a surprise bill at the end of the night.
What form of payment do you accept and how are payments set up?
I accept cash, checks, credit cards, and PayPal options. $250 non-refundable deposit is required to book your date. Sometimes budgets can be tricky. Any remaining payments can be made at your discretion in whatever increments you are comfortable with. Final payment is due the day before your event.
This all sounds great! How do we get started?
Awesome! Let's start with a free initial consultation and go from there. We will review your needs, what you have done already, review the contract, and set goals monthly to stay organized and on track for success.
