WEDDING MANAGEMENT
You're probably more familiar with the name "Day-of Coordination," but truthfully, that doesn't really exist. And you won't find it here as we don't offer it. But keep reading...
WEDDING MANAGEMENT is for those of you that are organized and excited to plan your wedding yourselves and are good at checking everything off the list. The execution of your wedding day is where a Wedding Manager is a necessity so that none of those little important details are missed as you near the finish line - and most of all for those of you that love the idea of enjoying your special day worry and stress-free, as a VIP guest at your wedding (while we take care of the rest!) We understand that you don't plan a wedding every day, but we do...and are here to guide you with our expertise and love of wedding planning throughout the process.
ONCE WE BEGIN, you will have unlimited email access to Amy and her Aisle Planner software. We start with our first onboarding zoom call within the first 2 weeks of signing to give you all the tools you need to plan your wedding successfully from start to finish. At this time we give you the same tips and wedding secrets we give all our full service clients. You then put together your creative vendor team and decide on all the details from design to decor. Sixty days before your big day, once the planning starts to heat up, we jump in to de-stress you by learning everything we need to know about you and your wedding vision with our second zoom call from the comforts of our own homes. We make sure you covered everything in your planning process and help fill in all of the little, yet important details, you may have forgotten along the way. (the things you didn't know you needed to know, but we know, cause we have planned a gazillion weddings)
LEADING UP TO WEDDING DAY, we schedule and attend your final venue walkthru with you to help visualize your wedding plans in the space. We also coordinate your wedding rehearsal so everyone is prepared for wedding day and your family and bridal party have an opportunity to get to know me as your wedding planner so you can be off duty on your wedding day. When your wedding day arrives, we will help execute all your ideas/wedding plans and oversee all the details while you are off getting ready to walk down the aisle like a rockstar. We will gracefully organize and manage your wedding day for you (you won't believe how much we do on wedding day for you. It's a real challenge that we love to take on for you, so you or you family does not have to worry or stress!) We want you to truly be a VIP guest at your own wedding, creating memorable memories for the rest of your life. We can't imagine a wedding day without a wedding planner!
Because our Wedding Management services are much more comprehensive and robust than most, we only take on a limited number of Wedding Management clients per year.

DESTINATION WEDDING
Does Palm trees swaying with an ocean view, or snow-capped mountains with nature at your doorstep, or a weekend getaway at a french inspired chateau or vineyard estate excite you? Then a destination wedding may be what you are envisioning for your wedding experience. I am seeing more and more couples wanting to plan an experience, one they can enjoy together with their friends and family. We have helped our couples plan weddings in Maui, Hawaii; Lake Tahoe; Forest Hill; El Dorado County; Sacramento, Sonoma County and more... and what they all have in common is our clients are all traveling to their destination wedding from somewhere else in the world. We are lucky to have worked with clients in Alaska, Canada and the USA and have mastered the destination wedding planning process so you can feel confident and stress-free on your wedding day.
We understand the stress of planning a wedding from afar and the feeling of helplessness as you plan sight unseen. We have the knowledge of the wedding industry standards and expectations to assist in vendor selection, review your contracts, help you ask the right questions and come your wedding day... organize, execute and manage your wedding day to bring it all to life. We give you the confidence to plan your destination wedding with us by your side guiding you every step of the way... all the way to "I Do". All our planning packages are available for destination weddings near or far!
