Why you should hire a wedding planner
Planning a wedding can and should be one of the most wonderful experiences of your life. It can also be expensive, time consuming and stressful. The Wedding Dr will be your guide, working with you and your vision. A professional consultant, working with you, can handle the details and help you manage your budget by providing cost saving design ideas and vender negotiations. This is your time to sparkle and we will make sure that everything else is taken care of. Our attention to detail will guarantee a special day with spectacular memories that will last a lifetime.
Defining Your Vision
A wedding consultant will help you personalize your wedding by incorporating your style, story, family and friends into the celebration, from invitations to decor to cake design.
Event Designer
Your wedding consultant can help you create a beautifully decorated ceremony site and reception venue. Her experience, knowledge of design, and coordination of even the tiniest detail will achieve the maximum "WOW" impact you have envisioned.
Adviser
As an expert, the consultant knows weddings, from the socially correct invitation formats through the proper planning and organization of the reception. Your coordinator will also help you get the best price from your wedding venders through contract reviews and negotiations.
Picking the Perfect Location and Vendors
Through extensive research and contacts in the wedding business, the consultant can match you with the right professionals, from venues to photographer. A consultant can also point out important factors to consider when choosing a wedding vendor.
Supervisor
Why should you worry about the details of planning your wedding? Your consultant will work with the other professionals you have chosen to make sure everything happens just as you want it without calling on your friends and family.
Financial planner
If you're working with a budget I can help you plan your dream wedding within your budget by suggesting ways to make your dollar go the farthest from flowers to postage rates.
Mediator
Caught between families, "ex"-families and "step"-families? A wedding professional, as an independent third party, often can smooth ruffled feathers and mediate disagreements.

A Hidden Cathedral
You are truly amazing. I never would have thought that a wedding planner some 2000 miles away would be the perfect choice. You found the perfect venue everything that we were looking for and couildn't find right under our nose. It meant so much for us to get married in a cathedral setting without changing religions. To think it was only ten minuets away from our home in Seattle.Thank you so much.Matt and Rachel
