Planned To Perfection
| Q | What are the benefits of booking a wedding planner? |
| A | Laura Dalton says: There are plenty of benefits to booking a wedding planner. Firstly, it saves you time. Wedding planners have great knowledge of the suppliers in the local area already, so they can recommend the best option for you in a lot less time. That said, for any suppliers they do not know of, they will save you time by researching them so that you don't have to. It also reduces stress. By taking control of your suppliers, a wedding planner will manage stressful tasks so that you can focus on the fun bits of the planning making it a much more enjoyable experience. For example, working out measurements for your set-up requirements, collecting and checking insurance documents or finalising timings. Knowledge is key. Professionals have planned weddings before so they know from experience what works, what doesn't work and what to look out for when planning your wedding. This is invaluable if you want your big day to run smoothly. Styling is so important and a wedding planner can bring your vision to life. They can be creative in their ideas and add extra design elements that you might not have thought of. Maximise your budget! Not only do wedding planners manage your budget, they also take into account your vision, and advise you what you should spend money on, and what you can do to save money. Finally, they help to coordinate the day. Your wedding planner will understand your vision and ensure that the order of events runs smoothly on the day, from setting up to packing down so you can relax and enjoy your wedding day with friends and family. |

Party Planning
| Q | How can we plan a wow-factor wedding with creative new ideas that our friends haven't seen at other celebrations? |
| A | Dee and Rob says: We are adding new items to our inventory all the time and brand new to our portfolio are the Table Selfie Booths (we have been reliably informed by our suppliers that we are the only company in the South West currently offering this service). The Table Selfie Booth is a unique table centrepiece which can spin 360 degrees, allowing guests to capture fun photo memories during an event, all from their table. We also offer the facility to either email, MMS or print these photos at the event and will provide the event organiser with a USB of all the photos captured. Although this is a key focus of our business, we also offer a range of other decorative and event-enhancing items to make each wedding as memorable as possible including the popular audio guestbooks; foilage walls and sequin shimmer backdrops; neon signs and other various signage; illuminated LOVE letters; sweetie carts; wishing well post boxes; rustic cake stands; chair covers and sashes in a variety of colours and fishbowl centrepieces. |
