ANSWERS TO COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
DO I REALLY NEED TO HIRE A WEDDING PLANNER?
Yes. At the very least, we strongly recommend that you get a month-of coordinator. This might seem like a way to save money, but trust us: there is a lot of pre-planning that goes into even the simplest wedding. You don’t want to be getting pampered the morning of, and worrying about when the caterers or florists are showing up. Whatever money you spend to hire someone will be more than worth it for your peace of mind.
MY VENUE ALREADY HAS AN IN-HOUSE WEDDING COORDINATOR. WHY DO I NEED A PLANNER?
We get this question a lot! The bottom line: A wedding coordinator at a venue and a wedding planner are two completely different jobs. The venue wedding coordinator is there to serve the venue, such as set up, the staff, food, etc. A planner is completely focused on you and dedicated to your wedding vision, and she is there solely to make sure that your vision comes to life on your wedding day.
WILL I STILL HAVE SOME CONTROL OVER MY WEDDING IF I HIRE YOUR TEAM AS MY PLANNER?
Absolutely! During our initial consultation, we will ask you what you’re looking for in a wedding planner, and we then make our suggestions to you. Your planner’s level of involvement depends on the event planning package you reserve and your personal preferences.It's your wedding, your vision, your ideas, your planner is just holding your hand though the entire process, with help and advice. We will do as much, or as little, as you want us to do during the wedding planning process.
DO YOU WORK WITH AN ASSISTANT ON THE WEDDING DAY?
Yes. There is always an assistant, and sometimes more than one depending on the size of the wedding.
I want a full planning experience, but want a date that is only 2 months away. Is it possible to still hire you for my dream wedding with so little time till the big day?
Yes! Although we are on a tight schedule, we will work tirelessly to ensure every T is crossed within your 60-day planning timeline. Please make sure to book our services as soon as possible to ensure we are able to start planning immediately.
HOW OFTEN WILL WE MEET?
This is best answered when we have our first consultation. At the time of the consultation, we will discuss our packages and come up with an estimate for the total number of meetings and hours needed in order to help you stick to your budget.
WILL YOU PROVIDE VENDOR RECOMMENDATIONS, EVEN IF I BOOK YOUR MONTH OF WEDDING DAY MANAGEMENT PACKAGE?
Definitely! When you book with Elegant Affairs by Design, every client automatically receives our Favorite Vendors list upon booking! These are vendors that we know, adore, and have worked with in the past, so we trust in their quality and service.
ELEGANT AFFAIRS BY DESIGN SOUNDS LIKE WHAT WE’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR. IS THERE A CONSULTATION FEE?
Never! This is our time to get acquainted and to decide if we are a good fit for each other! Let’s get started!
