Personal Attention
When you choose The Graceful Host to plan your wedding, I will work closely with you to ensure that your wedding is more than an event. This will be an experience that you and your guests will cherish for years to come. I believe that the secret to designing and planning gorgeous weddings lies in getting to know my couples. You are more than just a client!
Aside from producing a flawless event, my overarching goal at The Graceful Host is to ensure my client's planning experience is just as celebratory as the wedding day. By working closely with you, I will help you define your style and infuse your love story into the design of your wedding day.
Due to the attention and detail that I pour into each couple's overall experience, my calendar is limited to five to seven bookings per year.
Stress-Free Planning
One of the most overwhelming aspects of planning a wedding for couples are the logistics. From creating the perfect floor plan to reserving hotel blocks for your guests, every wedding comes with a lengthy to-do list - especially if your guest list is a mile long!
The Graceful Host makes the wedding planning experience enjoyable by taking that to-do list off of your hands. I will guide you through the fun, exciting aspects of wedding planning, like choosing the cake and picking the right bridesmaid dresses. As well as the more tedious details, like knowing how many tablecloths to order and figuring out the correct etiquette for your wedding invitations. My job is to ensure wedding planning feels easy, and I do this by empowering you with the tools and knowledge you need for a stress-free planning experience.
Following a complimentary consultation, I will provide you with a proposal for planning and design services. Contact me today to check my availability for your wedding. Because of the inclusive nature and high level of service The Graceful Host provides, I do not offer partial or day-of coordination a la carte.
WHAT'S YOUR PROCESS?
Once the contract and retainer have been returned, I begin planning and designing your event right away. I lead every single event and will work closely with each couple. To kick off the planning process, I will send you an official welcome letter complete with access to your client portal folder and a client survey, so that I can fully understand your event goals and challenges, as well as your design ideas, which will help initiate the design process.
I will guide you through each step of the planning process, making sure each task is checked off our list, as well as creating recommendations for your creative team that are tailored to your unique needs and budget. Each couple approves the proposed budget and timeline that I will create at the start of the planning process.
When it is time to begin the design process, I meet with the couple for a comprehensive design consultation where we’ll collaborate to create their wedding vision, making sure each design element is cohesive. Following this design consultation, I will provide the couple with a 20-30 page presentation, outlining the design direction, complete with visuals and design concepts that support their event goals and overall vision.
