Here is more about what Alena provides in her own words:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;Consultations<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><em>help point you in the right direction. When you feel stuck and don&#8217;t know what to do next,\u00a0you can &#8220;phone the expert&#8221; for a quick meeting.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Day of Coordination<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><em>involves creating the wedding day timeline, confirming that timeline with your vendors, running the rehearsal, &amp; making everything run smoothly on your big day. This allows you freedom with the details, but we assist in double checking everything and keeping track of those details. (This keeps brides from forgetting the guest book, the rings, or driving with something on the roof of their car&#8230;yes, it&#8217;s happened!)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Full Service Planning<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><em>or\u00a0<\/em><strong><em>A Little Extra Help<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><em>means picking up where you left off and tackling the organization and coordination of details whenever you decide you don&#8217;t want to plan alone. This may be from the very beginning (before you even pick a date), or\u00a0whenever you get stuck and decide you&#8217;ve done all you can without expert advice. (Hello Bride, meet your brick wall!) It may simply mean handing over a specific project\u00a0(Maybe tying all the little bows on your wedding bubbles?) or holding your hand from beginning to end with full service planning. (Joining you for all those stressful decision making meetings and reassuring moms we have everything under control.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Whatever you need help with, I will be there to calm fears, keep the peace, tackle last minute emergencies, &amp; encourage you to smile as you walk down the aisle.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I would be honored to be your Personal &amp; Professional Wedding Planner or Coordinator as you begin the next chapter of your beautiful life.
