All Yours

We Collaborate

This is the fun part of planning that involves dreaming and chatting! This is the part where we get together (Starbucks and Panera work well but we can skype, too!) and you share your love story, your favorite things about each other, your favorite things about life (things like your Golden Retriever named Spike, your latest world trek in Africa, your discovery of a new boutique with the cutest dresses, your comfy sweats and hoody wardrobe on rainy days…). These are the details that inspire us and that make you unique and this is the material we’ll use together to custom-craft your love story celebration, working out the design and details of your wedding that will capture the vision of your love story celebration.

Your part: Tell us your story, your style, your ideas

A lot of decisions will be made in this part of the planning and this is where you and your soulmate might want to chat over wine. You’ll discover things about each other in this process and you may field a lot of advice from well-meaning family and friends. Take courage. And have fun with it!

We Celebrate

You made it! This is where all your dreaming and chatting and deciding pays off. You can just relax and take it all in. This is your day!

Your part: Relax. Enjoy. Celebrate!

Our part: A little more complicated. We’re coordinating with all the vendors. We’re running rehearsal to make sure the best man knows where to stand, won’t get the groom toasted before toasts, and won’t forget the rings. We’re making sure you have your bouquet for photos while also getting your ceremony site set up. We’re in touch with vendors to make sure they’re on track for delivering an amazing evening. We’re hanging chandeliers. We’re mending a last-minute bridesmaid dress. We’re directing the photographer to wherever those boys disappeared to. We’re keeping all of you on time for dinner so your salads aren’t soggy. We’re delivering gifts to your room. We’re making sure the taxi picks up those happy party-goers. We’re packing up the linens and vases and chandeliers after you all go to bed. We’re loving it. Oh, and we’re super-calm so that you have no idea all of that is going on because you really should just be relaxing, enjoying every moment of this amazing day, and celebrating your love story!
