Where has this year gone?????

All I can say is wow.....I can't believe this year has gone by so fast. This year for 'Intimate Events" has been great and very challenging all at the same time. With the heat that we have been experiencing here in the south, it has really taken a toll on us all. I met with a bride today, and she told me about one of her friend's wedding. In a nutshell, it was a complete disaster. I really wish that all bride's who are even considering hiring a planner would do their homework and research first, but a lot of times this is not the case. If you meet with a planner, and don't have a good feeling about them or just feel like they don't know what they are doing, then guess what???? They probably don't know what they are doing. Take enough pride in yourself, and your day to hire a planner who works well with you, not just someone who works well for the moment. After listening to this bride talk about her friend's wedding, I really wish that the young lady could do her day over, but unfortunately she can't. Bride to be, you only have this one day to have the wedding of your dreams, be sure that you are working with someone that you feel good about, and someone that you trust. And remember, cheap is not always the best. Remember, you get what you pay for, so if you hire a planner for the day of your wedding and they charge you $250-$300, then that's what you will get a "$300" job, and in the wedding world that isn't much. So take your time, have fun, and hire someone that you feel good about. Ask questions, and most importantly, ask them for references. If they can't provide you with references, or answers to your questions, then chances are, they are not worth your hard earned money.

Happy Planning & God Bless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
