What is a "Month of Wedding" package?

Recently, it has become very popular for event planners to offer a "Month of Wedding" package. This package is designed to give the bride-to-be some support during the most stressful time before their special day. During the last month before the wedding:

• the final count is due
• the final room setup is due
• guest cards for reserved seating are created
• hotel accomodations are made and managed
• final dress fittings (because someone didn't get it done on time :) )
• final deposits are due
• etc.........

My question to other planners and brides-to-be is what do you think should be offered in a "Month of wedding" package and what should the event planner's fee be based on for this service?

DonLarae and Tanesha, July 2009

This is a Lavish Events wedding from July 2009. Our team had a great time planning this Royal Affair. Don and Tanesha hired us a year before their wedding. The coupled lives in Alabama and needed an event coordinator to help plan their wedding back home here in Detroit. The couple wanted to use royal blue as their main color with silver accents to create their Royal look. They asked for bling on the tables and crystals to hang within the vases of their centerpieces. We used a silver glitter scroll table cloth to create that bling and satin silver chair covers on the chairs. The cake was designed by Tanesha to be elegant topped off with a blinged out R. I had so much fun working with them. They are a great couple and very good people.

Here are some of the things and people that we worked with to create their Royal look:

This is my very first post to our blog site. I have gotten many request from my clients, vendors and friends to start a blog. They all tell me that with so much swirling around in my head, this would be a good outlet for me.
