Fall 2013 / Winter 2014

Greetings! Thank you for your request for information regarding wedding planning. The decision to get the helpful services of a wedding coordinator is one you’ll be happy you made. Here is a quick introduction to two of our most popular programs. Month-of Coordination (sometimes called “Day-of Coordination”) is for couples who have hired their venue and major vendors, and have a general vision for how they want their coordinator to run the wedding. For successful coordination of the last couple of months before the wedding, we offer the following services:

- Beginning 6-8 weeks before the wedding, having a series of meetings with you to figure out which items are completely planned and which items could potentially use some assistance in “wrap up” - Site walkthroughs at the ceremony and reception sites to detail out the logistics, layout, and event flow - Reviewing all final details, contracts, and agreements and reconfirming these arrangements with each individual vendor - Creating an Event Plan and Setup Letter with your information, that details the

vendor contact information, timeline of events for the wedding weekend, and physical layout of the space including diagrams and written narratives for vendors to follow. We take your general ideas, making them specific and actionable by your team. - Distributing this Event Plan and Setup Letter to all your service providers, and following up on any of their questions or concerns - Acting as your liaison to all vendors, for the ease of one point of contact and ensuring clear communication regarding any last-minute changes - Collecting small items such as guest book, toasting glasses, favors, etc. the week of the wedding and ensuring that they are set up correctly according to your wishes - Assisting your officiant at your wedding rehearsal, and explaining the processional and recessional procedures to the wedding party - Onsite coordination of the setup period, ceremony, and reception, from beginning to end, to ensure that everything looks the way you imagined it would, that all instructions are followed, and all services provided as agreed For most month-of wedding coordination programs, fees start at $1,500.

Full Design and Planning. If you are considering working with a wedding consultant earlier than two months before the wedding in order to get the most benefit from our 15+ years of experience and expertise, then these services associated with full wedding planning are available:

- Design sessions where your ideas of color, texture, cultural and thematic elements are explored; and ultimately rendered into a cohesive overall look and feel that expresses your personal tastes - Design procurement and general contracting for all your décor and stylistic needs such as lighting, linens, rental pieces, furniture, floral, and installations - Advising you on allocating your wedding budget for maximum effectiveness according to your priorities - Vendor research and recommendations to secure the service providers that will carry out your desired wedding concept - Attending vendor meetings with you to make certain that no important details or questions are overlooked - Contract negotiation and contract review to ensure

you are getting the most value out of your service providers - Regular in-person or telephone consultations to keep you up to date on the planning timeline, as well as any important planning and payment deadlines - Creating a customized calendar showing your important dates and deadlines - Creating a personalized, advertising-free wedding website to help you communicate important information to your guests - Advisory assistance by telephone, fax, and email; like having your own personal advice line - And of course, all of the month-of wedding coordination services described above. For full planning and coordination, fees start at $5,000.

Important additions to either month-of or full planning. Some weddings need more than planning and coordination to put all the pieces together. Consider it done with our professional hospitality staff that can prepare or remove just about any item used for the event. - *Personal assistants to press the wedding and bridesmaids gowns, deliver them, and assist in the getting ready room - *Coordination at additional events such as the rehearsal dinner, guest room deliveries, bridal luncheon, and post-wedding breakfast or

brunch. Or for religious/cultural ceremonies such as sangeet, baraat, tea ceremony, etc.
