My website is currently being re-designed so I thought, since I will be having a new website, I should start a fresh new blog.

Stay tuned for updates on the new website. Fingers crossed for next week.

FAQ

What is a Wedding Planner?
A bridal or wedding planner is a professional whose training, expertise and contacts will help make your weddings as close to perfect as it possibly can be - and let you relax and enjoy your wedding.

Do I need a wedding consultant?
A professional wedding consultant will be a distinct asset as you plan your wedding. Wouldn't it be nice to spend time with your fiancé and your families, rather than worrying about all the details of your special day? In addition to helping make your wedding dreams come true within your budget - and perhaps saving you from costly mistakes - we will save you time. With so many brides and their parents working, we can handle much of the time-consuming, detailed planning for your wedding. As an unbiased third party, we can also help smooth all of those complex relationships in a modern family. You save time, reduce stress and concentrate on having fun as your wedding approaches. We will take care of the details, leaving you to simply enjoy the experience. And, on the wedding day, you can shine as the star, while we work behind the scene to make it all happen.

Can I afford a bridal consultant?
A wedding consultant should be part of your budget, not an extra expense. In fact, you often save money because we suggest less expensive alternatives that still enhance your wedding. We can often obtain discounts from suppliers. Above all, we will work with you to produce your dream wedding, all within your budget.

Do I need a contract with my consultant?
You should have some agreement in writing. A full contract is always supplied with every wedding we do at Luxury Events. It spells out exactly what we will do, as well as fees and a payment schedule.

When and how do we pay the fees?
Packages require a 50% retainer at contract signing, a second payment due midway between contract signing and the wedding day, and the final payment is due 10 days before the wedding. Consulting fees are paid in advance at contract signing. Luxury Events accepts Visa, MasterCard, cheques and cash.

Won't a wedding consultant want to run the whole show?
We will work with you, handling as much or as little of your wedding as you want. After all, it is your wedding. We are here to help you and your family - and make the day perfect.

Why can't I do the planning myself?
You certainly can do the planning yourself, and that sometimes is part of the fun. But, it can also be a hassle, checking out many sources for each vendor, making sure all the details are in place and worrying about whether you're getting the best deal - and whether everything will turn out all right. We have the training and experience to make it all work, while you relax.

How can I tell if a bridal consultant is providing a quality vendor?
Our reputation - and future business - depends on the quality of the services, including vendors, you receive. We are committed to providing the best possible wedding for the lowest possible cost. Besides, you are working with a budget, so our job is to keep you on budget. A satisfied bride is our best advertisement. So, it is to our benefit to recommend the best vendors for your budget.
