Cyber Monday Wedding Special

Jason & Sarah....a Beautiful Lake Wedding

When I first spoke with Sarah on the phone I could tell right away what a fun bride she was going to be. When Sarah and Jason hired me to be their Wedding Planner I was thrilled.. This couple was so much in love and it just made me feel excited that Party Planners Plus would be a part of their wedding day.

Party Planners Plus was hired as Sarah and Jason's Day of Coordinator
for their May 12, 2012 wedding. I knew right away right away I wanted to put more

Madison House Designs/Florist

time in with this bride.

Her personality and her laughter

made me smile and who

doesn't like to smile.

Jason was just so charming

that the two of them

together made you feel

calm and comfortable,

We clicked right away.

They were a couple that were

very DIY with most of their wedding, but also knew when they needed a Professional Wedding Planner and Day of Coordinator!

They were very hands on, very organized and very sure of what they both wanted their

guest to take away from their wedding... a wonderful feeling of happiness and I believe

everyone that attended did just that.

It was a beautiful ceremony on the lake. Officiant Russ Hiett performed the ceremony.

Sarah did a fantastic job of making sure her guest knew where they would be seated. Her homemade seating chart was so cute!

Sarah (the bride) wore a simple wedding gown that matched the day perfectly. Her bridesmaids were all dressed in a beautiful shade of pink.

Columbus Musicians, LLC played during the ceremony.

Wedding colors of Pink and Gray. The bride made her own table runners and designed her napkins.

Getting the final touches on the Pink and Gray decor that was set on the back of the club.

The bride wore white pearls and a sweet little birdcage veil. She carried a beautiful mixture of pink flowers in her bouquet.

Sporting a gray suit with pink shirt and mixed pink and gray tie, the groom looked fantastic.

White and pink lanterns were hung along with Flower puffs throughout the venue.

Romance on the lake.

Guest at the Wedding enjoyed the beautiful setting

Sarah and Jason had the centerpiece containers made by a very special friend.

Sarah and Jason were a very special couple of Party Planners Plus

Booking Your Officiant On Time...

Booking your Officiant should never be the last thing on your to-do list.

So you have said I Do, looked at Venues to decide which one best fits what you want your wedding to be. Chose your colors and theme, tasted bunches of yummy food and designed your cake. Dress is ready and the time it took to pick out the flowers and the shoes.....Do you really want to try to book an Officiant with only a month left before your Wedding????

I know...I know it is the last thing on your mind, but really...that my wonderful brides to be should be one of the first things on your mind. Think of it this way, you really would never hire a Wedding Planner or DOC without sitting and meeting with them to make sure that you all feel comfortable with working together. You wouldn't call a cake designer and tell them just make me this cake, no you would want to sit with them and talk about what cake flavors you love and taste the samples right???
Then why do so many Brides wait to chose the one person that is going to be there to make it happen for you, the one person that will guide you through your words to each other and above all...sign your marriage license. Understanding that this person, your Officiant will be there to help create a ceremony that is truly yours, but it takes time and only giving a short time-frame means chances are you are going to get a copy of a ceremony that so many couples have used before. Nothing really wrong with it if you want just a quick
I-DO. Planning your ceremony should be part of the excitement of getting married. Having words and emotions in your ceremony that is truly both of you will make your Wedding Day so much more meaningful.

So here is my suggestion.....Book your Officiant as soon as you know you will need one. I get calls and emails all the time wanting me to Officiate on one of the biggest days of their lives......in two weeks. Hair and Make-up get alot more notice than that.

I hope this helps in remembering to add the Officiant to the beginning of your TO-DO-LIST, you will be so happy you did.

Take care,
Nora
