You are engaged!
Congratulations!
 Many of us have dreamed of this
special day when our white knight rides up and “wisks” us off to happily
ever after. Reality is, he may be the white knight and you will have
the happily ever after, but there is not any “wisking”!
You have a wedding to plan.
Easy right? Not really.
 There is a date to choose, venue to find, your DJ, photographer,
flowers, bridal gown…so many things. Where do you start? Hire a
planner? Maybe. |

So why does Wedding Coordination cost "So Much" ?
We have noticed that many couples don’t understand the importance of
wedding coordinators and some wedding planning professionals have cut
wedding coordination out of their list of services altogether. As such,
it seems that many brides and grooms fail to appreciate the role of a
wedding coordinator and their costs– as we have heard things said like:
- “I only need someone for the day. Can’t you just come on the day of?”
- “I’m a type-A personality and highly detailed so I enjoy the planning, so I don’t really need a lot of help”

How to Work Well with Your Wedding Coordinator So, the day is finally here!All the hard work, preparation, planning and hard work is about to
pay off. You’ve, in your infinite wisdom, hired a wedding coordinator
to protect your investment and allow you to actuallyenjoy your wedding day. Here are some tips if you decide to work with a personal wedding coordinator:
Assume they (the planner) knows nothing!
If your wedding
coordinator is coming in about a month prior to your wedding (as most
should), they have not been with you throughout your planning process and
do not know the details of your wedding. |

Tipping Wedding Vendors:
Rain's tipping guide
Who gets tipped and How much?
Tipping your wedding vendors is completely
optional and should never be forced on ANY couple. Some vendors do offer
tipping as part of their fees, but generally as a rule of thumb great
service should dictate if tipping your vendors is warranted.
As in any other service industry, if your wedding
vendor does an exceptional job, tips are always appreciated. It's a case
by case basis and depends on your individual experience and what you
believe to be fair. |

Creating Your Wedding Plan
By The Knot EditorsThe secret to a gorgeous wedding is a definitive style and color
scheme. And though carrying it through all the wedding day details may
at first seem overwhelming, just take it one element at a time. To begin
envisioning your perfect wedding day, you need to make some big-picture
decisions. Decide the date (springtime, fall, winter?); the location
(at home, in a ballroom, at a restaurant?); how formal it will be
(sit-down dinner, laid-back brunch? |

 Adult only reception??
Have you thought about your guest with children? Or, do you as a couple have children of your own? What to do with the kids??? This past weekend we got the honor of meeting up with Trish Davis owner of Elegant Event Sitters, Inc. while she was in town working for Army National Guard. When we arrived at the Hilton in Beachwood we were not sure what to expect. We were shown the way to the "child care area" were the tables were all set with different toys and games for the kids to play with, the children were with their parents for the lunch break. |
