I was so excited for Rachael & Marks wedding to get here. Rach and I have been working together since January and she went instantly from client to friend. She was such a pleasure to work with. It was a perfect Saturday in May and everything fell into place just right for this fantastic couples wedding.

Wedding love & friendship - Jenna & Matt

My beautiful friends Jenna & Matt got married this past weekend at Grace Church in Nutley. What an amazing church. It's right out of a movie, right?! I met the lovely couple when my husband and I first started dating. He and Matt went to college together. I just fell in love with them right then and there. You won't meet two more caring, generous, sweet people in your life. They're just salt of the earth. I was thrilled to help them on their wedding day. Their reception took place at the Hyatt Regency Jersey City which is one of my favorite venues! The 9th floor Ballroom view is incredible, you feel like you can throw a baseball over to Manhattan. Amazing wedding, beautiful couple, perfect day! Thanks Jenna & Matt for letting me be a part of it!

A big thanks to all the vendors who made it happen!

Wedding Planner Vs. Catering Manager

So often we hear that brides don’t need a wedding planner because their venue provides a catering manager. While most venues do provide a venue contact their responsibilities are much different than those of a wedding planner.

The catering manager is your main contact from your venue and is there to manage the venue staff, assist with menu selection, make sure the tables are set, the service is on time, the staff is on task and will handle any special requests for set up of your room.  More times than not, they are not there for your entire wedding. They are not responsible for overseeing your vendors, running your processional or making sure the details of your day are perfect. That is what a wedding planner is for.

Though we love working with catering managers, we both understand we have different roles in making the wedding successful.

A wedding planner is responsible for coordinating all of the elements of your wedding and also serves as an advisor throughout the process.  Your wedding planner will be the main contact for all of your vendors, create a comprehensive timeline and make sure everyone follows it, set up your ceremony, programs, run your processional, coordinate your reception, first dances, toast, cake cutting, distribute tips to vendors, collect any personal items you may have brought and be there to handle any surprises that occur.

For the amount of time you put into planning your big day, it should be perfect! Bottom line is the wedding planner works for you but the catering manager works for the venue. Knowing what to expect will ensure no last minute surprises and will keep your wedding day stress free!
