Working together
All planners at the company are described as certified by LWPI, and packages are customizable. You can hire help for only the final weeks or bring in a team from the start.
Before you sign with any planner, ask what is included in each package, how many events the planner takes on per weekend, and who attends on the day. Bring your budget, your guest estimate and any venue you are considering. A clear timeline and a vendor list give a planner the best start. Ask how communication works between meetings so nothing slips.
