Day Of Services

Why my “Day Of” package isn’t $500.

Many are the times when brides or mothers comment on the fact that I charge what I do for the services I perform for the “Day Of” package. You’ve heard the statement “you get what you pay for and in many cases this is very true. I’m not saying that you won’t get good service if you pay less because I can only speak for myself. With 18 years of experience behind me, what I can tell you what you’ll receive if you hire me.

Yes, you may have found and contracted all your vendors; made your decisions on what food to serve; what musicians or DJs to use, but what you haven’t done is pull all facets together.

Putting together a timeline isn’t something that is done in an hour. Many weddings, I do, require weeks to pull everything together the way the bride wants the flow to go. Then the hard work starts. Not only do I make sure that the vendors will be at the venue, but I personally make a final tour of the facility to iron out any potential problems ahead of time.
I personally attend the rehearsal and choreograph it. The day of the wedding, I’m the first one on site and the last to leave the reception, stopping first by where the bride is getting ready, to make certain that the make-up artist and hair stylist have arrived and that she and her wedding party, have everything they need before I move onto the ceremony site. I’ve had times when I’ve been at the hotel at 5 am to get things started and haven’t left the reception until 2 am.

My job is to make sure the bride/groom and their families are able to be guests at their own wedding. Mom or Dad doesn’t have to worry about if the cake was delivered, if the chair covers are properly installed or that the cake topper, serving pieces, or the Waterford flutes are returned. All this takes time and effort.

I love what I do. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a beautiful, beaming bride float down the aisle to her waiting, handsome prince charming. Each wedding is important to me, whether you have chosen the Full Package, the Partial Package or the Day Of, you will be treated, as you deserve, as a princess for the day.
