are you a risk-taker when it comes to your wedding plans?
June 20, 2008
Case in point: this weekend we have Amanda Monarch and Brian Woods wedding at Cambridge Golf Course. The ceremony is going to take place outside at the fountain. It’s going to be beautiful, but if you are reading this on Friday, you know they are calling for rain. Amanda is totally cool and laid back with the gamble of having it outside with no tent (the back up plan to move the guests to the reception for the ceremony). She’s a risk taker.
so tell us. how did you meet your hubby?

When we walked in – I spotted my future husband. Let’s just say he had the only blond hair in the place. He was playing pool with a mutual friend and somehow we ended up playing partners. He was, of course, “stuck with me” (which I later learned was orchestrated by him. I felt bad because I really sucked at pool. But he was awesome. Like, a pool shark! So he started teaching me how to shoot.
love your wedding planner, part of love your wedding vendor series
April 11, 2008
Reasons why you should love your wedding planner?
1. They have a “game face” that is almost invincible. You’ll never see them sweat.
2. They mediate between the other vendors when problems arise (so you don’t have to). And they arise. Frequently.
3. Planners are your buffer to problems that you don’t want to deal with (especially on your wedding day), they shield you.
4. Your planner will look out for your best interest even when it comes to dealing with your family.
5. It is physically demanding work, a 3 day wedding weekend can mean 22-33 hours on their feet. Still, service is done with a smile.
love your wedding videographer
April 10, 2008
Behind the scenes:
I’ve worked with a few wedding videographers both locally and outside our immediate area. It never ceases to amaze me how professional and how much energy they use on a wedding day (I thought I was the one that buzzed around a lot).
Humorous things that I see is how often videographer’s shots get messed up. Because they stand so still they seem to blend into the background, which is a good thing. BUT, guests and wedding planners (okay, me) sometimes will walk right in front of them, which is not a good thing. I’ve had to train myself to be aware of where they are at when I’m running around on a wedding day.

love your wedding cake designer
April 4, 2008
Today we are going to talk about your wedding cake designer.
Works of art, is what the wedding cake is! The most memorable visual item that guests will remember and talk about at the water cooler the next day. The popularity of over-the-top wedding cake designs can be attributed to Sylvia Weinstock, whose name is synonymous with wedding cakes. Even the hip, cool, reality show Ace of Cakes have helped for average people to understand what it takes to build these creations.
Our clients have differing views towards their wedding cakes. Some client’s priority is for the cake to taste wonderful, others just want to make sure the cake looks fabulous and then there are some who are concerned with both. So you want to be sure you are choosing a wedding cake designer that will caterer to your priority.
love your wedding photographer

Today we are going to talk about your wedding photographer.
Let’s face it, photographers get a lot of credit and attention as a wedding vendor. Look at what they produce? They capture moments as they happen, setup gorgeous scenes and help us look fabulous (thank God for Photoshop, no?).
Our clients don’t make snap decisions when choosing their photographers. Why should they? Often their pictures are all they have for visual memories. Again, this is a key player at your wedding so you’ll want to feel comfortable and confident in your photographer’s ability.
oh, let's do this
“Truly, everyone who attended our wedding talked about how amazing and well-organized it was. Saundra got high praise from everyone! Which brings me back to how thankful we are for Saundra. I’m so glad that she was the one we picked as our wedding planner – I can say without any reservation that we wholeheartedly recommend Planning Forever Events!”
