One may ask: “Why hire Sarah Viera Event Planning & Design...?”
Many Brides and Grooms run themselves ragged in the months leading up to their wedding. And many couples say their wedding day went by in a haze because there was so much for them to attend and worry about, that they had little time to relax and enjoy the moment. A Wedding Coordinator can help alleviate these situations by being on hand to take care of time-consuming tasks and troubleshoot for you when required. Every bride wants to take pride and joy in organizing and designing every detail of her wedding; which is still possible, but can also be done with the help of a professional. Having a coordinator to guide you along the way, and put you at ease when questions like the following pop into your head: Who will pass out the wedding programs? Who will ensure the favors, table centerpieces, toasting flutes, and guest books are in the correct places at the reception? Or who will make certain the limousine will be waiting for you at the end of the reception? Having an experienced coordinator to negotiate contracts with caterers, florists, and photographers will answer all those questions and save the Bride and Groom valuable time and money. In addition to the Wedding Coordinator putting your mind at ease, they are there to readily assist you with any planning questions, concerns, or obstacles you may have. What may seem like an obstacle to you can be easily handled with the assistance of an experienced coordinator.
To help alleviate some stress, I have put together commonly asked questions that seem to be on many brides’ minds when researching Wedding Coordinators. You may find you have additional questions and/or concerns for me, write them down and please feel free to call and we can talk over the phone or schedule a complimentary consultation for us to meet face to face. Meeting is a great opprotunity for us to get to know one another, along with your fiancé, and determine if I am the right coordinator for you. It is important to feel completely comfortable with your wedding coordinator and that there is always an open line of communication.
