Northern California Wedding Planner | Friends Don't let Friends Stress On Their Wedding Day

Thinking back to some of the most fun weddings that we’ve been apart of we can see the common thread - the intention from day one to just let go of unnecessary stress. That is so much easier said than done in many scenarios but planning your wedding doesn’t have to be stressful or scary, we promise! Friends and family are there to help you live in the moment and enjoy making memories! The rest is where we come in..

Being days away from 2020 we know that a wedding party is no longer tied to old traditions and is instead there to support you and enjoy in the celebration with you. If we can avoid having your wedding party or family feel like they need to work at your wedding then even better because they’ll be focused on being by your side.

The sweetest gift is when we see siblings, friends, and members in the wedding party stepping forward to encourage the couple to at the bare minimum hire a coordination team if not full planning. Having referrals from past clients, their family members and wedding party means that absolute world to us because we know that we were able to contribute to everyone having nothing to stress over on the wedding day.

To those who have been searching high and low for a day-of-coordinator, you may notice that the wedding industry as a whole has shifted the terminology (rightfully so) to a more accurate term of “Wedding Management” because ..well “day-of-coordination” just doesn’t exist. When we come out for a site walk to your venue or property typically 4-6 months in advance to look at the layout & logistics (power, parking, vendor access, signage) we are looking at all of the moving parts and details that need to be cohesive in order to have a successful wedding weekend. This doesn’t happen when someone is handed some notes and a clipboard 24 hours or even weeks in advance.

Over 8 years of planning we have stepped in to many different scenarios and though most everything is correctable (changing rental or floral qty., making sure there are cake plates and extra forks, double checking ice for the bar & water for guests, managing the shuttle schedule and keeping hair and make-up running on time) we know that we save our clients time and most certainly money because we are looking at the bigger picture. Do you have questions about what exactly a planner does or whether or not you need one? Shoot us a message or hop over to our reviews on WeddingWire to read first-hand from clients just like you who are glad they had the extra support!

~ Happy Planning! ~

Northern California Wedding Planner | Lauren & Jordon - Bella Rosa

Have you ever felt like there was magic in the air? Lauren and Jordon's wedding was an evening full of laughter and two families really coming together in support of these two wonderful people.  Both bride and groom's families shared beautiful toasts that brought happy tears and really showcased how proud they were of this new chapter for Lauren and Jordon.  

If ever there was a chill couple who seemed to just float through wedding planning without showing much stress or jitters, it is these two.  It could be because they both work in the medical field and can stay cool in high stress situations, or it could just be that they weren't sweating the small stuff! In either case, they chose a beautiful wedding venue and a solid list of event partners to ensure that everything ran smoothly. 

A special thanks to Lauren and Jordon's photographer a long-time friend of theirs, Emma who was a blast to work with.  We hope you enjoy these photos!
