"Month-of" vs. "Day-of"?

As your wedding day quickly approaches, you may be realizing that you need someone to step in and manage the day so you and your future spouse can have fun and enjoy the wedding you have worked so hard to plan.  You start to do a little research on some local professionals and notice that some offer the well known "Day-of" service while others offer "Month-of".  Some even offer both!  What is the difference and what type of service do you need?

Every planner is different, and their description of their packages will outline what their services include.  But here at Amy Bridges Events we do not offer "Day-of".  Here's why...

As planners, we are very detail oriented.  We want to ensure that every detail has been well thought out.  As professionals, we have done this many, many more times than a bride has.  That being said, we can foresee potential problems that could make your day, well... a little less than perfect.  That is why we, and many other planners, like to begin working with you at least one month before the big day.  We like to create your detailed timeline, touch base with all of your vendors, attend walk throughs, detail meetings, etc.  We also like to get to know YOU and find out what things are important to you for your special day.  It is hard for us to even imagine stepping in the day of the event and trying to take over a wedding that we haven't planned.

Yes, "Month-of" is usually more expensive than "Day-of", but if you think about it, your planner is putting in many more hours and has much more responsibility.  You may be tempted to save a little cash, but just think about all of the hours you have already invested...don't you want the day to run as smoothly as possible?  Here at ABE, we feel that "Month-of" is the best way to ensure a perfect day.  So give it some thought and see which option is the best investment for your wedding.

Oh, and don't forget-- many planners (including me & Lisa) also offer Full & Partial Planning Packages for those of you who don't have a lot of time to plan your day from the beginning.

We wish you the all the best on your fabulous wedding!

Cheers!
