Before you sign any contract for your special day.

When hiring an Event planner or a Wedding Professional, it is the most important and smart decision you will make.  Whether  it be a Birthday your planning, or your wedding, please make sure of these important points:

 POINTS:

1. Make sure you choose a Reliable, Responsible and Reputable Planner or Wedding Professional.  
2. Ask to see pictures of previous event they have done, publications they have been featured on, read some of their testimonials, get references.
3. Your 1st impression is always an indication of whether or not they are a  match for you.

 A first impression is so important for just about anything you do.  Remember this person you choose to hire will now be part of a very important day in your life.  You will be building a relationship with them.

 Your first consultation should be informative and it will help you see their aesthetics and work ethic.  It will also let you know if their  knowledgeable and understands your vision.

    Establishing good communication is key. So keep that in mind  when you choose your next wedding professional and Event Planner. 

Ask questions, there is no silly question, everything you will ask is very important during the planning process.

Here are a few questions that you should be asking and are totally allowed.

How long have you been doing this type of work? 

How many Weddings/Events have you done?

Do you like what you do?

What type of training have you had?

What is your payment policy and your terms?

What is your fee?

 .

An experience coordinator, event planner  or wedding professional should always make sure that you understand what their job is and will be.  Never feel like you can not ask questions. Feel free to consult with your coordinator, planner or wedding professional on all matters of your event. 

I hope this helps, and if you are searching for an experience Event Planner and Wedding Professional, search no more here we are.

The Wedding day for The Wheeler's

Kathy  & Pierre Wedding

(this image was captured with my cell)

When you know you have met your partner for life, your best friend, the man that has made you his Queen.

Its Wedding Day

The day has arrived for Kathy and Pierre.  A long awaited day for them. They  expressed their love for each other in front of their closets friends and family. The details and all elements of decor had a meaning to them. It truly represented them as a couple with details to honor and remember the brides Mom, who wasn't present physically, but surely was in spirit.     

This day came with a lot of highs and lows the true meaning of a roller coaster ride of emotions, but without those emotions I believe it wouldn't have come out the way it did.  Perfect ! 

During the Planning process my "Advice to the Bride" was,

remember always your wedding should be a reflection of you both, music should be about you all, and images should capture the moment.  

Remember to take a breath and look around take it all in".

The Planing and Coordinating of this Event was amazing, and will be very memorable for a long time.

Thank you both for having the trust and confidence in us at

Annie writes about Quince Celebration

Sarah's Quince

 As I planned and got ready for an amazing young ladies celebration of her 15th Birthday, I remember when my parents started to plan mine, and what that celebration signified to me and to  all the young ladies that shared in this Latin Traditions. 

 Here is a little bit of what this celebration is all about. Quinces are a celebration of a 15 year old girl. Nowadays we are seeing more and more young boys wanting to create their own Quince celebration. Why not? Traditions and Trends are always made and made to be broken, some we all wish wouldn't,  but i am totally  accept  them all.

This custom and tradition started many years ago in the Latin American society. It was known to celebrate the transition from childhood to young woman hood. The celebrations starts with embracing religious customs, by having a full catholic mass, celebrating family and entering social responsibility. The Quinceanera traditionally is to recognized the journey she has had in her younger years to the maturing young woman she is now becoming. This custom and tradition has long highlighted faith, her friends and her family with music, dancing and amazing food.

 Here is a fun fact:This tradition was also to prepare the girl in faith to become a nun amazingly enough for those that didn’t know this fact. 

Here are some amazing images of one Quince I recently planned.  Thanking The Bernard Family and Sarah for trusting in me to Coordinate and Plan Sarah's amazing Birthday celebration.  These images will  show you how this particular celebration turned out.
