The planning and implementation of a Wedding (or any Social Celebration) requires:

TALENT
TIME
TREASURE

TALENT
A person/person(s) must have the set of skills, ability, training, patience, perseverance and humor to deal with:

• Family members in all of their colorful personalities and diversities
• Wedding Vendors with whom the Bride & Groom have a very short, but important relationship
• Logistics of all kinds imaginable (and sometimes unimaginable)
• The Forgotten, The Overlooked, The Unpredictable
• Everyone who needs to be reminded whose DAY this is

TIME
A person/person(s) must spend the time and energy to:

• Make all of the initial and follow-up contacts
• Maintain communication with Vendors
• Co-ordinate everything down to the final and smallest details
• Maintain regular contact with the Bride & Groom

TREASURE
This is the financial piece of the Wedding Investment Pie. The better (and earlier) you plan your Wedding, the greater the likelihood of successful budget maintenance. The other ingredient of a successfully maintained budget is a complete, thorough, realistic and inclusive budget outline.

A professional, certified and caring Wedding Consultant will invest her talent and time so that you receive the greatest return on the investment of your treasure, including the elimination of stress and worry and the saving of time and money.
