Planning
Your wedding will be one of the most important days in your life. Planning your wedding should be an enjoyable and exciting experience. It can also be the most stressful. Divine Weddings can greatly reduce the stress throughout the planning process by guiding you graciously through all the details of your wedding. I have designed hundreds of weddings and understand that every couple is unique. No matter how big or how small, I want to help you to design a one of a kind, amazing wedding that reflects your own personal style and is as unique as the two of you. If you think you can’t afford a wedding planner, you can’t afford not to. Having piece of mind knowing your wedding day will be stress free, is definitely a great investment.
Divine Weddings may be retained as your Wedding Planner at the rate of Fifty Dollars ($50) per hour. Services include but not limited to; phone calls, face to face meetings, setting up consultations with vendors and being there at every appointment possible. Divine Weddings will keep an accurate record of all time spent on phone calls and meetings made on your behalf. Time will be kept track of in 5 minute increments. Any additional costs incurred at your request, will be reimbursable to Divine Weddings. A statement of such record keeping will be sent to your attention at any time during the planning process.
