Question 1

We haven’t selected an Arizona or Destination venue yet. Do we need one before booking your services?

Accepted Answer

Our services will help you narrow down the best venue selections based on your priorities including aesthetics, investment, location, and guest experience. We will educate and guide you through the entire process, from transformation discussions to estimates, site tours, and contract negotiation.

Question 2

How early should we book your event planning services?

Accepted Answer

We feel the sweet spot for planning and design is between 10 and 14 months. This allows plenty of time for the planning and design process, booking highly sought-after Arizona and Destination locations, and collaborating with talented vendor partners.

Question 3

How many weddings do you take on per year?

Accepted Answer

As a luxury event company, we accept a limited number of weddings and events per year to maintain our clients’ highest level of service. This typically does not exceed 8-10 wedding couples annually and never more than one couple per weekend.

Question 4

Are we required to book only the preferred list of vendors you recommend or am I able to supply my own?

Accepted Answer

While we have a curated list of trusted and talented industry professionals, you are not limited to booking only from our preferred vendor list. We respect your vision and are open to working with vendors of your choice (as long as our team can vet and speak with them before officially booking).

Question 5

I am looking for a full-service wedding planner. I know not all services are created equal, so what sets your team apart from other full-service planning and design companies I am considering?

Accepted Answer

We will handle all the heavy lifting so you can have FUN planning and designing your wedding with us. Any owner or high-level executive can relate when we say we anticipate instead of react; we refuse to cut corners and will always go the extra mile to deliver a concierge experience for our families

Phase 2: Conceptualization, Design, and Investment Management
Phase 3: Vendor Selection, Logistics, and Coordination
Phase 4: Transformation and On-Site Coordination
Phase 5: Post-Event Wrap-Up

Question 7

Do you communicate directly with vendors, or do I have those wedding-planning conversations?

Accepted Answer

Clear and efficient communication with your entire vendor team couldn’t be more important throughout the process of planning your wedding. As your dedicated concierge team, we act as the liaison between you and the vendors, streamlining the entire communication process.

Question 8

What’s your approach to managing guest logistics, like RSVPs, accommodations, and transportation?

Accepted Answer

We pride ourselves on our comprehensive approach to managing all guest logistics for your celebration. We understand that many of your guests have traveled and sacrificed to attend your wedding, and we believe in seamlessly coordinating to provide an exceptional guest experience.

Question 9

How (and how often) will we communicate during the planning process, and what’s your preferred method of communication?

Accepted Answer

Simply put, you’ll hear from us as much or as little as you want! There are no limitations on how much you can call or email us. We prioritize communication, ensuring you are informed and engaged at every step of the process (including call recaps and bi-weekly summaries of the planning process).

Question 10

What is the average wedding budget for the couples you serve?

Accepted Answer

Our personalized approach allows us to tailor our services to meet your financial goals and ensure an exceptional experience. On average, the weddings in our portfolio fall within the range of $2500 per guest for the wedding day only, showcasing our commitment to extraordinary moments.

Question 12

Do you plan social events other than weddings?

Accepted Answer

Yes, please! We would love to assist you in planning and coordinating your milestone celebrations. Whether it’s an engagement party or bridal shower before the wedding or a birthday party, anniversary party, holiday party, or baby shower afterward!
