>What can I expect at a consultation?

This is the time where we can get to know each other better, you’ll get to see some examples of what I have to offer and I can get a better idea of what you’re looking for. I want to hear any and all ideas you have on everything from rental items to flowers to favors. Besides the look and feel you desire, I’ll also be interested in what role you’d like Special Touch Events to play in the planning of your event.

>What should I bring with me?

It’s a great idea to bring any decor ideas, including pictures of bouquets, event venue styles you like, actual linens, etc. Depending on where you are in the planning process, if you have a timeline and budget already formulated, you should bring those items too. And don’t forget to bring someone that wants to be involved- your fiancé, parents, bridesmaids or all of the above!

>What happens next?

If you have chosen to go with a custom package, you can expect to hear back from me with a price quote within one week of our initial consultation. If you have chosen one of the set packages, after you sign our contract then we can let the planning process begin depending on the event date and package chosen.

General Event Planning Questions:

Having a wedding and event planner isn’t for everyone, but keep in mind that you can have us be as involved in planning your event as you’d like us to be.  All of our packages are customizable and most brides are happily surprised when they find out that they can use a wedding planner just as a day of coordinator because they can still plan their own wedding, but have someone there to help smooth out the edges so they can relax on their wedding day.

>Is it in my budget?

We have ongoing relationships with many vendors here in the Twin Cities that have given discounts and extras to our brides in the past. We also have a wide array of vendors to choose from for every price range. This will actually help you save money in the long run instead of costing you more.  

>Do you work with an assistant?

Both Todd and I are at every wedding and event together meaning that we can be in two places at once, which has been helpful in every event we have done together. This is especially helpful when we are doing a wedding where the ceremony and reception are in two locations. Wedding days and events also can be extremely hectic and having both of us running the event ensures the smoothness that you hire a wedding planner for. In some cases we will have an assistant with us usually for time consuming tasks that require a third person, for example putting on chair covers. Having a third person with us may or may not carry an additional charge depending on your event and the reason for having an assistant.
