Arranging Honeymoon Travel Plans

The Initial Consultation With Wedding Organizer

Once you decide the assistance of a wedding coordinator will help you put together the perfect wedding, the process of planning your wedding starts with the initial consultation. During this first meeting, we'll sit down with you and find out what you expect from us and what you need help with. We'll also go over your budget and see what types of ideas you already have in mind for locations in Washington, DC, colors, wedding theme ideas, and more. Finally, we'll discuss the different packages we have available to see which one will suit your needs best.
Day-of Coordination Wedding Preparation

If you have most of your wedding preparation taken care of and simply need help making sure it all comes together on your wedding day, you might be interested in day-of coordination. Before the wedding, we'll put together a timeline for all of your vendors to make sure everyone is in sync on the wedding day. On your wedding day, we'll arrive early to get the vendors set up properly. After the wedding is over, we'll stay behind to make sure all gifts and personal property are properly packed in the right vehicle and any rented items get sent back to the right company.
