QUEEN PACKAGE- Full Service Wedding Planning

This investment is ideal for the couple who have little to no time to plan and oversee all the wedding details and planning so they are looking to a professional to be there from start to finish. The leg-work, coordinating and responsibilities that need to be accomplished will be delegated to your wedding planner.

Hiring an experienced wedding planner allows you to benefit from our knowledge and relationships. You will be educated on where to save and how to stretch your dollar without sacrificing quality as well as what decisions affect your budget most significantly. For example season, number of guests, venue and caterers are some of the big items to consider. At You're The Bride we have relationships with outstanding vendors who provide quality service, fair value and superb professionalism. Hiring vendors on your own is often successful but there is risk in enlisting the services of vendors based solely on the price. You know the old saying "You pay for what you get". You receive peace of mind that you’ve made good decisions, nothing has been overlooked, that you’ve done everything you can do to ensure your guests will be happy. You will be made aware of how much wedding items and services should cost as you have probably never done this before. That savings alone often will pay for a portion of our services! This peace of mind is priceless and will give you a stress-free day just ask our hundreds of absolutely satisfied former clients. You can be a guest at your own wedding!
