We are now offering our workshop “Planning Like A Pro” one-on-one!  

Because we will be doing single sessions, the catered lunch or dinner will not be offered so take $25 off the fee making the cost a VERY affordable $275.  The valuable piles of information and documentation that you will receive is what we usually save for our “Day-of” and Classic Package clients who pay anywhere from $1,200 to $3,000.  The coupons and discounts that you will receive from our Preferred Vendors will total more than the cost of the class.  Take it from Nancy and I who have been in the industry for a combined total of 43 years, it is better to be prepared from the beginning for all of the little details that will encompass you and your life during the planning process.

Happy New Year!! And Congratulations! You just got engaged and now its time to start creating the ideal wedding.  One that’s fun, beautiful and one that is uniquely you.  As you begin this exciting journey to get you and your fiance down the aisle your wedding planner will be your guide to make sense of the ideas and inspirations you’ve collected.  You will have a million little details and decisions to make before this adventure comes to a close.  The more photographs and notes you can provide to your wedding planner the more able they will be to provide you with expert advice and design ideas that fit your event.  You will be faced with decisions you probably haven’t even thought of or anticipated yet.  Many of these decisions may even come as a surprise to you.  Details from the shoes you plan to wear, the icing on your cake, the size of the cake, do you want a grooms cake, the wedding jewelry, the wedding gown, bridesmaid dresses, flower girl attire, flowers, the ceremony, the reception, the sign-in book, the guest list, the weight of the invitation.  The list goes on and on!  Today’s most sought after wedding planners know where to find answers, know where to find inspirations and know who the vendors are that you need to turn to to create your dream event.  Most importantly, they know how to make the right decisions and that will make your wedding day a dream come true.

Allison’s Events had the pleasure to produce a wedding November 10, 2007 at the  beautiful St. Mary Cathedral  in downtown Austin, Texas.  The Cathedral is located at Brazos Street and 10th Street and if you haven’t seen the interior of this beautiful church you will want to take the time to step inside the next time you are downtown.  It is a historic treasure and is breathtakingly beautiful both inside and outside so, as you can imagine, it was the perfect setting for an elegant wedding.  The bride wore a classic formal strapless Wedding Gown with a full skirt of layered tulle and was walked down the isle by her beautiful mother.  There were eight bridesmaids in full length ruby red bridesmaid dresses and eight groomsmen in traditional Tuxedos.  The reception followed the ceremony in the Victoria Room in the historic Driskill Hotel.  The tables were dressed in Gold Damask linens, gold charger plates and floral centerpieces with white roses and red rose petals sprinkled on the table.  There were Guest Favors at each place setting of gold and red M&M’s tied with a delicate red ribbon.  The guests danced the night away till midnight and bid the bride and groom goodbye as they were whisked away in a horse drawn carriage.           

Many brides and grooms believe that they can manage easily without a wedding coordinator and, yes, there are certain people that do well without hiring one.  There are equally as many that need to hire one.  Remember there is no rewind button, no practice runs on your wedding festivities and after all the planning and money spent you don’t want to miss your own wedding because you are too involved to relax and enjoy the party.  Planning your own wedding could mean unnecessary stress which would have been avoided with a wedding coordinator involved.  Do you want to be the go-to person at your own wedding and deal with every little issue that pops up?  Don’t be one of the hundreds of newly married couples that wish they had hired a coordinator if they had it all to do over again.  The hundreds of details such as invitations, favors, wedding gowns, beautiful hand bags and jewelry are all put into perspective when you hire a professional to help you and your wedding will run smoothly so you can relax.

Your planner can advise you on tabletop design and specialty linens

A professional wedding consultant/coordinator will be a wealth of insider information, experienced know-how and will have resources and knowledge of wedding trends.  This person will have a wealth of creative ideas and knows where to turn to for answers to your difficult questions.  Think J. Lo, Martha Stewart and Amy Vanderbilt plus a whole lot of other things all rolled into one!  This person has the connections with the best vendors in and around town to get you the best value for your wedding dollars.  Not the cheapest, the best value.  The best value may well be the cheapest, but that is not what it’s all about.  It’s all about getting your moneys worth for the best quality and selection.  The saying “you get what you pay for” still rings true.  This person is filled with imagination and knows where to go for the unique touches that can transform your big day into a fantasy.  She/he is an expert on when, where and how to get things done, on time and on budget.  They can organize, motivate and direct all the “players” involved in the production of your wedding with an eye for detail and a superb sense of style.  Think trouble shooter, motivator, negotiator,  advocate, advisor and counselor with the ability to listen to your vision and turn it into reality.
