Frequently Asked Questions

Question:

I'm engaged, now what?

Answer:

Congratulations on your engagement! We recognize that while this is indeed a joyous time in your life, there may be many questions or concerns you have regarding your special day. We can assist with the planning process from the very beginning of your coordination to assuring that last minute details have been accounted for. We will schedule a Complimentary Initial Meeting, to further discuss what you envision for your day.

Question:

Can I afford to hire an Event Planner?

Answer:

An event planner can be helpful even to a client who has a smaller budget. An event planner's job is to help you find the best vendors to fit your needs and your budget. A planner also helps you save time and money by putting you on the right track from the initial planning stages. Even if you can't afford to retain a planner's services for your entire event you can ask about our do it yourself session. This session allows you to sit down with a planner and get money saving tips and suggestions on how to make your event a success within your budget.

Question:

What is the cost for the services of a planner?

Answer:

The cost of your particular package will vary as services are customized to accommodate your preferences, needs and expectations. The monetary cost of hiring a consultant however, should be considered a part of your overall event budget and not an added expense.

Working with a consultant can in fact SAVE you money as well as time by suggesting less expensive alternatives within your budget. Allow us to assist in bringing your visions to life...because after all, your resources may be limited, but the possibilities are not!

Question:

With all of the resources currently on the market, can't I plan my own wedding?

Answer:

Of course you can! While we agree that there are many resources for your wedding, working with a Consultant will help to "weed out" all the unnecessary steps in the planning process and alleviate stress. Consultants have access to a variety of vendors which otherwise would take numerous hours to research and time is money. You are in control of all of the decisions for your special day and we work to see that your wishes are correctly executed.

Question:

I have decided to use the skills of my family and friends for the reception, invitations, etc. How would a consultant benefit me?

Answer:

We welcome assistance from participants of your choice. We will work to assure that everyone is on the same page and coordinate the details of the itinerary with all of the involved parties, to avoid any misconceptions. Think back to any holiday dinner you may have hosted or attended. There's nothing worse than hearing on your wedding day-"Oh, I thought someone else was doing that".

Question:

Do you book multiple events on the same day?

Answer:

No, we only book one event per day. We feel it is important to devote as much time as possible to our clients on the day of their event.

Question:

Do you accept vendor fees or commissions?

Answer:

The staff of "For You" E.C.C. does not accept vendor commissions. We ask that any commissions are passed on to our clients. Our referrals are based on quality of work and assuring that the vendor is a good "fit" based on the couple's preferences.

Question:

Do you require a contract?

Answer:

Yes, in order to retain our services a contract is required. The contract will outline the details of your event as well as any services to be performed by "For You" E.C.C.
