The life and times of a wedding planner
So exactly what is a wedding planner... what do they do...will they take over the wedding...and make me spend more?
It may be that you are thinking all or any of the above, so we thought it would be nice to tell you a little about what we do and maybe release a few of those urban myths....
A wedding planner is a person or a team of people whose job it is to help take away some of the stresses of organising a major event that a wedding is and free up a great deal of time for the bride and groom - but without removing all the fun! Funkylush Weddings are a husband & wife team and as a married team we never forget the wedding is all about the couple.
So what do we do?
If you are considering using Funkylush Weddings, we will arrange an informal (and totally free) get together, for a relaxed chat at an agreed venue and at time and day to suit you.
We hope you will like the sound of what we can do and should you decide that you would like to work with us we will meet again to discuss all of your ideas for the wedding, including your budget, venue requirements, time scales , guest numbers, colours and much much more so this is a very exciting time for you and Funkylush Weddings.
You may already have some strong ideas about how you would like your wedding day, or you may like us to help you with many aspects of the organisation and design, we are very flexible and really are very happy to help you in any way you need us to.
If you need us to focus on the design of the wedding, we can assist you with colours, fabrics, decorations and lighting that will work for you and which totally reflects your individuality and personalities. For example, you may really like the idea of using blue as a primary colour and need some assistance as to how and where this can be introduced into the design of your wedding.
Perhaps you are thinking about holding your wedding in barn. We will save you a great deal of time, effort and possibly money by thoroughly researching the venues we believe are best suited to your celebrations. You can relax whilst we do all the leg work, arranging quotations, visiting the venues to check the quality of both the venue itself and just as importantly, the quality of service they provide. All this work will allow us to successfully narrow down the search for your perfect choice of venue.
We can also accompany you to meet with your recommended venues and suppliers. Because we are not tied in to any specific venues, companies or individuals, you will benefit from an extensive choice and flexibility.
Everyone we recommend will of course want to do their best because they know they will potentially benefit from repeat business from Funkylush Weddings. Whoever we suggest, you can be assured of quality as we know that we are in many ways, only as good as the team of people we help you put together for your wedding celebrations.
The successful organisation of a wedding will take somewhere between 200-300 hours of your time, lots of planning, many phone calls and e-mails and lots of fun too. We'll make sure that you have a great time organising your very special day but without all the hard work.
But there is so much more that we as wedding planners can bring to the party. We can help you with the seating plan, and if Great Aunt Jill is upset you sat her with that Nanny Doris then we'll take the blame, although we'll do our best to understand any personality issues prior to the day.
With our little extras such as RSVP collection this can really free up your time to do the fun stuff such as cake tasting, to visit beautiful venues and not forgetting shopping for your wedding dress, suits and accessories!
Our very special VIP shopping services are offered for both bride and groom, and we offer a wonderful VIP service for Venue visits too, so the whole experience becomes extremely enjoyable.
If you would like to benefit from our On The Day Hosting Service we will be up early checking the venue, checking the cars and making sure all the suppliers are taking care of everything. Funkylush Weddings can take any calls from the cake makers to any lost relatives, leaving you to totally relax before you say those all important nuptials.
We will have a contingency plans in place too so if anything doesn't go quite according to plan we have a plan B firmly in place...how's that for your total peace of mind!
You can be assured that everyone will get to the church on time that we will blend neatly into the background, and that we have thought about those little extra touches, that you may not see!
So, if you would like to free up your time, get rid of the stress, save you both time and money but without losing all the fun of organising your own wedding we'd love to hear from you, so please give us a call...coffee is on us!
