A - This is what they do full time and so the advice, knowledge and experience is invaluable.

Q - How many weddings do you plan at once?

A – Today for example, I am dealing with nine weddings and they are all very different and tailor made to each couple. I love making each wedding different and special for each client.

Q - Do you keep in contact with couples after their wedding day?
