Testimonials from brides who attended last year

"I attended Spring 2010 Bride’s MBA Wedding Planning 101 conference.  Jennifer is fantastic.  Not only does she tell you the truth, but gives you ton’s of ways to save money and what to watch out for.  Knowing in advance what to look for in vendor and the location contract saved me $2000 right in the first three weeks after the conference.  In addition, all of the wedding professional savings allowed me and my fiancé John to have better quality professionals help us and allowed me to stop stressing over the little things.  It saved several fights between me and my sister and my mom.  Then to cap it all off we were able to add an additional week to our honeymoon in Hawaii.  I wouldn’t dream of planning a wedding without Jennifer’s help!”  Amie Koalenz

 “My finance and I attended Spring 2010 Bride’s MBA Wedding Planning 101 conference together.  Jennifer has a great sense of humor and kept us all laughing the entire time.  In addition, she gave us help and affordable ideas that really allowed both of us to have our personalities show through the entire day.  She saved us ton’s of cash and the guest speaker wedding professionals for everything from the dress to the honeymoon gave us discounts and bonuses that saved us $2,400 and before we even left the conference 80% of our wedding was in place.  Everything that she taught us came into play and our wedding day was fantastic.  I can’t imagine why everyone doesn’t plan their wedding this way.”  Stacy and Tim Harding

“My partner and I came to Jennifer’s fall 2010 Bride’s MBA Wedding Planning 101 conference.  It was truly an amazing experience.  She made us feel so comfortable and was obviously more concerned with how we wanted our wedding day than any of the five planners that we had met with before we attended the conference.  Frustrated we decided that we’d try it on our own even though we didn’t know what we were doing.  We saw Jennifer’s conference on the internet and decided that we’d attend to get the help we needed and do it all on our own.  Before the first day was over, we both decided that we had to have Jennifer help us one on one with our wedding.  She saved us so much money, frustration and fights… truly a pleasure and her and her staff are so fun and personable. “ Kelly Ramirez and Ashley Summer.

“I couldn’t attend the conference last year, so I sent my mom instead, since she was in Denver and I was in New York for work.  Mom came back to me with so many fabulous ideas that Jennifer shared and with the easy to use workbook and the copy of the DVD I was able to fill in the things that my mom missed.  It’s a ton of information in a short amount of time.  After all Jennifer is sharing over 20 years of experience with us in 12 hours.  But I loved the fact that she still made you feel like you are the only one in the room and the fact that no matter where you are in the planning process, she’s able to answer your questions.  Brides who were just beginning the planning were able to hear where other brides were stuck and not fall into the same problems.  Brides who we’re further along in the planning, but got stuck, Jennifer was able to tell them how to become unstuck.  It’s truly amazing to see such a master at work and still be so fun to watch, listen to and be so personable.

I saved at least $4,000 because I didn’t get trapped into any of the problems that I heard about from other brides and because I was able to get the information as to what to ask wedding professionals for things like bakeries, caterers and rental companies, I was able to purchase the wedding dress of my dreams and hired Jennifer and her company for the day of.  Additionally, I didn’t have to miss hours of work having to interview vendors or run around town looking for the things that I needed for my wedding.  Jennifer had already given me all of the info I needed and so much more.  I figure I saved myself 30 hours not having to run around, like $1,500 in pay.  Because I already knew her and all of the wedding professionals who were providing services for my wedding, I didn’t get stressed out once and really got to enjoy my entire engagement instead of hating the whole planning process.  I love Jennifer and by the way, my wedding was more than I had even imagined.  Having Jennifer and her team there on the day of my wedding was icing on the cake.  There was nothing I needed to stress over.  Thanks Jennifer, you’re the best!”  Love  Lisa and Dave Martinez

How Can an Event Specialist Assist you?

It needs to be said that gathering your vendor team takes time, patience and lots of work, if you’re doing it entirely on your own without help. Event decoration designs take creativity, lots of tools and materials. Developing and following a timeline is a skill.  How do you know whether you can plan this special occasion on your own or wave the white flag and hire a professional event and wedding planner?  You need to have an honest conversation with yourself and your family? Know your own strengths and weaknesses.

We find that most families who do need the help of a professional event and wedding planner are parents who work full time or a single parent.  Those who aren’t very detail oriented, have less than perfect organization skills, don’t know many quality local vendors/ event professionals or desire high quality wow factor that represents them as an individual or couple. If this is you…the answer may be yes…You do need the help of a professional special event planner.

How can an Event specialist and planner assist you?

Special Event and wedding planners can not only offer creative ideas and help you plan all aspects of your event; they can often get better prices, since they bring repeat business.  A good planner becomes your best friend very quickly.  They can help you with all the event details and/or specific tasks such as day of coordination.  Each planner has their own pricing schedule and contract requirements. However, typically charge between 10-20% of the entire cost of your special occasion.  Factor in the price of your sanity when making your decision. 

Planners have vendors and wedding professionals in all price ranges and personalities, as well as contacts for emergencies on the day of.  Yes it does happen when a vendor doesn’t show up on the day.  Although you wouldn’t be able to do anything at the last minute, a great planner has back up professionals who can step in if and when this happens, and usually without anyone noticing. 

Here’s a big tip!  Many vendors offer planners special pricing due to the repeat business.  As a result, you can actually save some money and you’ll definitely save your sanity and     when you hire a planner to help you.  If you’re not sure what you want yet, it’s ok. With years of training, we’ll ask you questions, you’ll ask us questions and soon together we’ll develop and plan and vision that completely encompasses you and your fiancé or company.

Lastly, a good planner takes care of you, your guest needs and any last minutes problems that arise at your special occasion. It’s not uncommon for a planner to break up a kids scuffle, run down extra extension cords, sew up a hem, or make sure that Grandma has her meal and an early ride home.  And, do it all without you (the client) knowing what was happening.  Your role at the event is to mingle and enjoy your friends and family.  Not to watch the timeline, give driving instructions to the hair stylist or coordinate with the catering staff as to when you’re ready to eat dinner and when the limo driver should arrive for your grand exit.

And, it’s your friends’ role to be an invited guest.  Good friends always ask what they can do to help and they mean well, but they shouldn’t be a part of your staff. Once the party begins, they want to and should mingle with other friends and not stay tuned into your party needs and problems.

If this hasn’t convinced you why hiring an event planner and specialist for your special occasion, ask to see their emergency kit they bring to every event.  I guarantee their kit contains hundreds of items and they are prepared for any situation.
