| | | My Venue already provides a coordinator. How are you different?
We work for you, the Bride & Groom and are looking out for you during the planning process and on your Wedding Day. The Venue provided coordinator is there for you only at the venue. They are not there to help you plan or coordinate anything besides what is in their contract and at the venue. We are here for you to help with any issue that might arise for the whole day. We know you personally and know all the dynamics of who you are and what you want. They won't plan your total day. They are only resposible for the vendors they book. We help you with everything including coming up with a conprehensive time line covering your total day.
| | | Where are you located? Can I just drop by?
We are by appointment only. Your first consultation with us is complementary so we can get to know what you want for your special day. We make appointments for your consultations at places and times that are convenient for you. We like to have at least one meeting at your reception and/or ceremony venue.
| | | What will a Bridal Consultant do for me?
A Consultant will save you time. They will help you avoid costly mistakes. A Consultant works with you to give you your dream wedding, taking care of all the details so you are free to do the fun things of wedding planning.
| | | Can I Afford a Bridal Consultant?
A Consultant is a part of your budget not an extra expense. A Joyeux Day will work with you and your budget to give you your best possible wedding. We will help you come up with ideas that fit what you are looking for at the price you are seeking.
| | | Why can't I do the Planning myself?
Well, of course you can. Although, it does take over 200 hours to plan a perfect day. A Bridal Consultant will take your stress away. We offer 4 levels of packages, plus a la carte services to help you along the way. We're always just a phone call away if you have any questions.
| | | How much does it cost to meet you?
We offer an complementary initial consultation so we can talk all about your day, what you need and how we should go about acheiving it.
| | | I think I just need a little help.
Call or email us. We do provide hourly consultations to help point you in the right direction.
| | | What is the difference between a Bridal Consultant, Wedding Planner, Wedding Coordinator?
