MYTH VS. REALITY - WEDDING PLANNER EDITION

Let’s set the record straight! Wedding planners do so much more than fluff dresses and taste cake (though we do love a good cake tasting 🍰).

💭 Myth: Wedding planners just show up on the wedding day.
✨ Reality: We’ve been working behind the scenes for months (and sometimes for a year or more) coordinating, problem-solving, and making sure everything goes smoothly.

💭 Myth: Wedding planning is all glamour and fun.
✨ Reality: Sure, there are magical moments, but there are also 2 AM timeline edits, emergency sewing kits, and the occasional sprint in heels to fix something before anyone notices.

💭 Myth: Wedding planners are only for big-budget weddings.
✨ Reality: A good planner works with any budget to maximize every dollar and minimize stress—because peace of mind is priceless! (More and more couples are choosing to work with a wedding planner to navigate through the perilous journey of planning a wedding!)

💭 Myth: We’re just glorified decorators.
✨ Reality: We’re logistics experts, negotiators, therapists, and sometimes even weather forecasters. We juggle vendors, solve last-minute crises, and keep everything running like clockwork. We're an advocate for couples getting married to keep them on track on be a resource on what should be done and how to do it.

💭 Myth: My venue has a coordinator—I don’t need a planner.
✨ Reality: Venue coordinators focus on the venue. Wedding planners focus on YOU - from start to finish, wherever you need us.

At the end of the day, we’re here to bring the magic while handling the madness. Wedding planning isn’t just a job—it’s a superpower! (And we love it!) 🦸‍♀️💍✨

Congratulations Amanda and Alessandro!

It was a pleasure and honor to assist with planning and day-of coordination. Amanda and Alessandro are beautiful on the info and out and their garden party resection theme was the perfect fit for them at Flag Hill Distillery & Winery. (It was fun being back at my old stomping grounds!)

BRAVO to the incredible team we had:
