Planning Packages

You’re engaged! The announcement to family and friends is greeted with a mix of excitement, nostalgia, and hope. From the moment you two made your declaration, you now both become a future bride and groom. The mood is delightful, feelings are running high, and it is now time to make a strategic plan!

Think of it this way: Planning a wedding is like directing a blockbuster film. It needs a well-written script, careful budgeting, and skilled direction. All it has from the start is a cast. Someone must bring in the location, the extras, props, and costumes, so that when the final cut is made it is an award winning production!
