Weddings

How do I know if I really need a wedding planner? what if i can handle some things on my own?
We are only as involved as you need us to be!  If you have most of your wedding vendors booked, but you’re having trouble finding a string quartet, a photographer in your price range, and an on-site hair and make-up stylist, we’re happy to send you contacts for all of those!  You can book your vendors – or we can.  Some reasons you may want to consider hiring a wedding planner.
  1. If you aren’t able to get into your reception space until the day of your wedding and you know you’ll be short on time and help.  Don’t stress.  The Celebrations Remembered team can set up your centerpieces and head table decorations for you!
  2. If you don’t have an eye for centerpiece design or details.  That’s fine!  We’ll show you options for centerpieces and you pick what you love! Our team will take care of the rest. Easy as that.
  3. If one of your main goals is to have FUN on your wedding day.  Hire a wedding planner.  We will be an informational clone of you.  After all our meetings and communication, we’ll know where things go, who is supposed to be where, and we know how you want things to flow on your big day.  We’ll field calls from your vendors so you don’t have to take calls while you’re getting your hair done, we’ll ask the questions you haven’t even thought to ask yet.  We’ll check in with all of your vendors so they know what time and where to arrive and set up.  You can take a deep breath because we just know.  We’ve talked about it.
  4. If you have too many people (Moms? Aunts? Best Friend?) who want to lead your day.  If you need a ringmaster and someone to delegate tasks, hire Celebrations Remembered.  You may have the helpers but we have the leadership skills…and YOUR best wishes at heart.
what's the difference between you and a venue coordinator?
In a nutshell, as a wedding planner I work for YOU.  I am here to make your life easier when it comes to planning your wedding by coordinating and managing ALL logistics and design details with your entire vendor team (including your venue coordinator).  I will ensure that their jobs are streamlined and simplified allowing each vendor to focus on delivering their services at the highest level which results in an AMAZING wedding for you. 
Venue coordinators work for the VENUE.  They typically are only responsible for overseeing the set-up, food and beverage (if provided by the venue), and logistics as it relates directly to the venue.
do you work with lgbtq+ couples?
Yes!  We love LOVE.  Celebrations Remembered believes in inclusivity and serving all clients regardless of race, creed, ethnicity, identity or orientation.
Is there a minimum event budget you work with?
Every wedding budget is different; however, on average, our clients spend as a whole for the entire wedding (dress, flowers, invitations, venue, catering, etc.) around $200-$1500 per guest.
do you offer day of/month of coordination?
We refer to this package as our wedding day management package.  Our wedding day management package is more than jus help on the day of the event, as we enter the planning process alongside you about 3-4 months out from your wedding and help tie up loose ends!
