Including your parents in the wedding planning process for many couples is crucial. Especially if they’re the ones footing the bill, cha-ching! 😉
BUT... it can also be a bit of a tightrope walk. On one hand, you want to have the final say, but on the other hand, you have to constantly seek their approval when it comes to the finances. Sigh. 😔
So, how do I navigate this tricky situation, you ask? Well, here's one of my secret weapons...
I make it a point to send out meeting notes after every planning session. These notes not only summarize our discussions but also outline where we stand in the entire process. And as an added bonus, I include a mini "To-do" list, so everyone knows exactly what tasks they're responsible for next.
Let me tell you, this little trick has been a game-changer. It keeps the parents off your back and saves you from the endless interrogation about the progress of everything.
Now, your loved ones can stay in the loop, feel included, and the best part? You get to maintain your sanity. Phew! 😊
✨It's a win-win situation for everyone! 🥇✨

Comment HELP to talk through your options and the levels of support we have to offer you.
We all fantasize about selecting napkin folds we saw on Pinterest, and taste-tasting gourmet lobster tails. 🍽️ 🦞 😋
But unfortunately, most couples are faced with the harsh reality of the chaos and stress that comes with planning a wedding.
❌Dealing with personalities in the bridal party
❌Family drama
❌Keeping track of vendors & deposits
❌Signing contracts
❌Zoom meetings
❌Invitations and chasing guests for RSVPS
❌Signing more contracts
❌Walk-throughs and rehearsals
❌Surveys and paperwork that feel endless
All the while you’re shelling out dollar bills like an ATM. 🏧 🤑
Doing this on your own is not so “fun and exciting“ 🫤😑 But fret not, bride or groom, because a wedding planner or coordinator can help you. I CAN HELP YOU!
What’s the point of having this amazing celebration if you sacrifice your sanity to get there?

It’s only funny because it’s true... 😵💫😬😅
I know it’s annoying when vendors try to push more and more services and "upgrades" (aka money-suckers) onto your wedding. It can be overwhelming, and sometimes it feels like they're just taking advantage of you.
And let's be real, sometimes they actually are. But remember it's YOUR wedding and YOUR hard-earned cash.
One of the best ways to handle this madness is by creating a list of absolute must-haves. You know the things you can't live without. On the other hand, there are things you could totally live without, like extra desserts for example. This way, you can stay focused and make sure you include everything you truly want. As for those "upgrades," well, you can give them a second thought if there's any budget left (although it often feels like there's nothing left at all).
At TGE, we kick off the planning process by giving our lovely couples a master list of all the typical wedding stuff. We encourage them to go through it, check off what they absolutely need, and decide what's non-negotiable for them. If you're feeling overwhelmed and ready to bring in the professionals, guess what? We're here to help. Just click the link in our bio and submit an inquiry. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

I totally get how annoying it can be when wedding planners keep their pricing a secret. Don’t worry though, Im going to spill the beans to save you from never-ending zoom calls...
Please keep in mind that there are many planners who offer customized pricing tailored specifically to the requirements of YOUR individual wedding. This could include factors such distance, the number of vendors you’ve already booked, the proximity of your wedding date, guest count, and much more.
However, here are some ways you can get straight to the point...
1. Look for planners who have their pricing on their website. You might come across phrases like “investment starts at,” which gives you an idea of their costs before additional fees like travel.
2. Another option is to look for terms that indicate the minimum spending requirement for couples. This will give you a baseline of what you can expect to spend with them. If their “clients typical wedding budgets” are far beyond your own budget, it’s best not to waste your time.
3. Checking reviews or seeking referrals from previous clients can also help you gauge a planner’s pricing transparency and overall services. but keep in mind. “Yesterday’s price is not today’s price”.
4. Some planners include their pricing in the contact form. As you make inquiries, you’ll see price ranges mentioned under the budget questions.
It’s important to note that wedding planners are not out to take advantage of you or overcharge you. Each planner assigns their own value to their time and services. Hence, they need a complete understanding of the job’s scope before they can provide you with an accurate cost estimate.
If you’re interested in working with TGE and would like to know our pricing, you can visit our website and check out our Services & FAQ section. Rest assured, we are confident in our ability to meet your needs.

📢🗣️ Calling out to all you soon-to-be newlyweds!
Here's a thought for you: amidst the whirlwind of wedding preparations, do you really want to bother with reminding vendors to send in their POIs???
😑 Yeaaaaa... I didn't think so! Sounds like a job for a wedding coordinator, don't you agree?
If we're not already on board to coordinate your big day, then it's high time you got your wedding locked in with TGE!
✨Let's make this wedding planning journey a breeze, folks.

I know I have given this speech in posts before but, the long and skinny of it is this…
You need MORE than just a venue coordinator if you don’t want wedding day responsibilities to fall on yourself or your family and friends. End of story. 🤷🏾♀️
