right. This is one of the best days of your life, and it will fly by . . . so don't waste a single
second worrying about the details - leave that to us!

Custom packages and hourly consultations can be arranged for brides and grooms
who need specific help in areas of their wedding plans, but not a complete planning
package.  Custom packages can be formed to include planning services for only those
issues that you need assistance with. Hourly consultations are helpful if you need help
with only a specific aspect of your wedding, e.g. vendor references, etiquette
concerns, or budget guidance.
