We begin the planning process! We will start regular communications to kick off planning, and our team will begin to source local vendors for you (if you purchase a package that includes vendor sourcing and selection). This is where the FUN happens, and we get to start planning a day that speaks to and reflects who you are as a couple!
After chatting about your needs, if it seems like we may be a good fit, we will send over a proposal of our pricing and what we can offer. Once you receive the proposal, you can reach out with any questions and we can talk through it together. Once we are aligned on the proposal, we will send over a contract for you (and us!) to sign. This is what will block your date on our calendars to ensure we can work together.
To explore working together, the first step is reaching out to us! We will set up an introductory call to meet you and chat about your wedding day aspirations and visions, and discuss the level of planning you need. For this call, it can be helpful to have a general location (i.e. Tuscany) and target date or season in mind, but if you are open to anything we can chat through the areas we work in and together try to understand which would be the best fit for you!
