On Hiring Wedding Vendors:
If you haven't experienced your vendors personally, don't be afraid to ask for references. You have every right to ask for a sample to taste-test, or to see recent examples of their work, or to ask to observe them working on location at another wedding. You are spending a lot of money for photography, music, food, cake and flowers, and you should have a very clear idea of how you will be taken care of. Please feel free to ask me about other vendors. The ones that I recommend have an excellent track record for taking great care of their clients.

When it comes to hiring a photographer, you want to check that the photo samples you are seeing in their studio were actually created by the photographer who will show up on your day. If the contract is with the "Studio" as opposed to with the photographer who will be photographing your wedding, the studio can legally send anyone to cover your event. I advise that you make sure that you are getting the photographer you want, and have their name put into the contract.

I have several more secrets that are yours when you hire me to take care of your wedding. If you are hiring me from out-of-state, I will send you my "e-book" of Helpful Hints. Among the many topics covered are:

Hair- especially if it has been color enhanced

Make-up- good ways to manage a shiny face

Shoes- Ways to keep your feet comfortable throughout your day

The Importance of Timeliness

Floral Tips- on your bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres

I also talk about how to best to plan a guys' or a ladies' night out; how to deal with less-than-perfect weather, and how to create a realistic idea of your wedding day timeline.

If I am not taking care of your photography, you can still get the benefit of my expertise. I am now offering Bridal Consultation services.
