What is a wedding planner?
A wedding planner is a professional consultant with the training, expertise, and contacts that can help ensure a smooth and unforgettable wedding.They can assist you by wearing several different hats such as adviser, coordinator, financial planner, supervisor, mediator, confidant, and manager.

What can a wedding consultant do for me?
In addition to helping make your wedding dreams come true within your budget and saving you from making costly mistakes, a consultant will save you valuable time. Many engaged couples and their families do not have the time for the detailed planning and work that a beautiful wedding requires. A professional consultant can handle the details which will allow you to be more relaxed and enjoy this once in a lifetime experience.

Why should I hire a professional event planner to plan my wedding?
Wedding consultants have experience planning events. In addition to saving time and money, a planner will be there on the wedding day to make everything runs smoothly. Your day will be handled with care and attention to detail so you can relax and enjoy your BIG DAY. Event planners have long lasting relationships with vendors in the area. That knowledge can save you the time of researching vendors on your own. You will only be presented with vendors that fit within your budget so you won’t have to worry about spending more than industry standard for these services. The day of coordination that an event planner provides will allow your friends and family to have a chance to enjoy the day with you because they won’t have to take on the small tasks that often get assigned to family or friends during the event.

But what if I want to plan the wedding myself?
A professional wedding consultant will work with you to make all your dreams come to fruition by handling all the difficult tasks. Even if all the planning is complete, it would be beneficial to have a wedding consultant on the day of the wedding to see that everything runs smoothly while anticipating any problems that may arise. The smallest details in planning an event are often the ones that get overlooked and take the longest to implement. As the host of your event, you shouldn't have to spend your day of celebration making sure that all last minute details are taken care of. You should have the opportunity to share the time with your friends and family and leave the details up to your event planner.

If the venue provides an in-house planner, why would I hire one in addition to them?
In-house event planners are great resources for your event but they tend to focus on only one aspect of your event - sales. They typically do not work with you to complete timelines or act as a liaison between you and outside vendors. A planner can work with the in-house planner while maintaining the overall vision of your event and connecting all of the dots to make sure that you get a return on your once in a lifetime investment. An outside wedding planner is your insurance policy for your BIG DAY!

How can I afford a wedding planner?
A wedding consultant is part of your wedding budget, not an added expense. A good consultant can save you money by suggesting less expensive alternatives as well as obtaining discounts from the service providers with whom they work. The piece of mind is worth it!

Testimonial:
"My wife and I were married on May 15th, 2010 on a beautiful day (I take credit for the weather btw). Eddie Fam was instrumental in coordinating the day as well as making sure the entire day went smooth. He double checked with vendors days and weeks in advance to make sure they were all set and clear on our unique requests. He met with us and waited patiently for us and our families to make decisions, offering his own when needed (and they were needed!). The day of, Eddie was great in making sure my wife and I never bumped into each other before the ceremony, coordinated with both families, got us food and water before the reception (critical!), and basically was our wedding-day-insurance-policy. It was great working with him and I think others could benefit from his services."
