The Process

HOW I WORK

Your experience begins with a phone call. If we have gotten this far, then we know that you and I share a similar world view. We believe that bigger is better, that more is more, and together we will seek to create an over the top interpretation of your love. I am thrilled to know that the work I produce resonates with you. The next step is to determine if we are a good fit personality wise.

I become the custodian of your future memories. The work we will do together is very important. It only works if we get to know one another on a deeply personal level. And so to begin, we spend quite a bit of time getting to know one another. Whether in person over lunch or online via Instagram and Zoom, nothing happens until I have a sense of who you are as an individual, Couple or Organization.

While we will look to the world for inspiration, I specialize in doing the thing that has not been done before. I never knock off someone else’s work and I refuse to do the same event twice. For that reason, it will be impossible for me to show you a photo of what your wedding will look like.

I ask you to trust the process and to trust me. Our production partners will bring together the absolute finest tables, chairs, and florals. We will set the mood with lighting and texture. The entertainers bring energy and excitement. All of these moving parts come together and establish the whole. Working in unison, each of these elements creates the feeling of coming home. For one night, the world is a perfect place.

Best Event Ever

Once we have the design for the setup, we walk through the day as if we were your guest. Every interaction is a touchpoint. And so we ask the questions…

  • What are we saying to your guests with your save the date and invitation suite?  

  • How user-friendly is your website?  

  • Have we created experiences? 

  • What opportunities do we take to show them they are valued and loved? 

  • How are they greeted and what are they served?   

  • Have we dazzled them with the food, and surprised them with entertainment?   

  • How do we move them from experience to experience throughout the evening?  

Layer upon layer. Moment by moment. From sight to sound, sound to smell, smell to touch, touch to taste. We walk through the day until we can close our eyes and believe we are in the room.

WHAT DO I DO?

Whatever is necessary.

COMMUNICATION

Communication is unlimited; phone calls, emails, text messages, and in-person meetings.  Some of my clients are very tech-social and like to share via Instagram Direct Messages.  Others prefer in-person meetings over coffee or lunch.  Whatever works for you is what we will do.  We will have phone calls.  We will have meetings.  We will text, trade, and hopefully play.  This is supposed to be fun! Let’s have a good time! 

We must respect the work we are doing together.  I pride myself on being available for my couples. Communication is constant and comprehensive. You will speak to me, and I will speak to everyone else. I am the hub that connects you to the larger team, reviewing details and working to ensure that we are on point, on time, and on budget. Proposals and contracts will be reviewed and sent to you clean, with utter transparency. 

You will have the opportunity to review everything and ask questions. Answers and a pathway forward are not always instantaneous. Some requests require research, time, and answers from our supporting teams. You will be kept up to date on the progress of any and all tasks. Inquiries and questions will be responded to within one-two business days.

We will work together to complete our tasks during business hours, with the understanding that we may occasionally need to schedule calls and meetings after hours and on the weekends. We all lead big and busy lives, and will always strive to respect your schedule and your private time.

Know that I am here for you, always. 

CREATIVE PARTNERS

The world is shrinking, and the very best people are at your fingertips online.  Over the years, I have had the opportunity to develop relationships with the most insanely talented creatives.  There is one common thread that we all share; we are obsessed with what we do!

Together, we work as a team.  And that team is always changing based on the style and needs of the client we serve.  As I learn more about you, I will place you with the vendors best suited to exceed your expectations. Trust that each person who joins our team is a master of their craft.

Our creative partners are our lifeline; the backbone upon which we build our events. Together we share ideas, support one another, and work in a way that allows us to stretch, grow, and create.  We will place you with the right people at the right time, in order to create a just-right outcome. 

Have a relationship with someone I have yet to work with?  Before we can welcome them to the team, I will evaluate their business process and work product to ensure that they are a good fit for this project. I do have a vetting process and look forward to expanding our network to include creative partners that share our values, are committed to excellence, and that meet our service standards.
