• Do you have a customer satisfaction or refund policy?
  Customer satisfaction is my ultimate goal as a Consultant. It is my goal to serve YOU! If, for some unforseeable reason, your Wedding, Party, or Event is canceled you will only be charged for services provided on behalf of myself until the official cancellation date. I will provide a contract for you outlining the details when we begin the planning process.
• What are your qualifications? Have you been professionally trained or certified?
  I completed a Certified Professional Bridal Consultant course in 2001. I am listed with the Association of Bridal Consultants which is a national corporation for Certified Professionals qualified to list themselves as Bridal Consultants and have been trained in all aspects of the Planning, Coordinating, and Direction processes. I am also a Certified Pastoral Counselor.
• How many weddings have you planned?
  I have been more of a free-lance Consultant until recently. I do have some references you can contact with any questions you may have. I have planned Weddings, Parties, and Events for family, friends, and people they have referred me to.
• How do you assist in planning a wedding? What services do you provide?
  I can assist you with as little or as much as you want me to regarding your particular event. I can provide all the types of services you require for the Event you have in mind. From helping you to get started, helping you finish what plans you have already started, or be there for you from the get-go. I'm there for you when you need me. My job is to relieve you from any stress or mess!!
• Please describe the entire process you recommend, including before, during, and after the wedding.
  It varies depending on the Event. A good start would be determing where and when you want your event to take place, how many guests you plan to invite, and sticking with a potential budget to work with when planning the important details you want your day to have. If you don't have any ideas in mind we can work together to construct a basic outline for your day.
• Do you recommend specific wedding professionals?
  If I know of qualified Professionals in the areas you're planning to hold your event I can make suggestions of reputable Vendors and Service Providers. Ultimately it is your decision on who you want to work with.
• Do you get a "kickback" from vendors?
  Since I work as an independant Consultant I am not under any obligation to provide my services to any one Vendor or Service provider. This then gives you the ability to pick and choose who you want to work with and I can help you with the arrangements so you can accomplish your Dream Wedding!! I do have Links that I can use to help you save money on with the discounts they offer the Bride/Clien
• Can I afford a bridal consultant?
  Yes! No matter what your budget is, hiring a Consultant is the best way to save you money overall in planning your Event. My rates are very flexible and can adjust to your budget and needs.
• What are your rates?
  They range from the inital Consultation fee to how much assistance and/or time you are requiring.
• What makes you different from other bridal consultants/wedding planners?
  Besides being backed by the ABC, I have the credentials and know-how to provide you with the personalized assistance you need to achieve the Wedding of your dreams without all the time consumption, stress, or strain on your pocketbook.
