LEAVE IT TO THE EXPERTS TO PLAN YOUR WEDDING

Are you asking yourself these questions…”Should I hire a wedding planner?”…”Am I capable of planning my own wedding?”…”How can I save money?”

Actually, the questions are, “Can you afford not to hire a wedding planner?”…”Do you want the stress of planning on your big day?”…”Do you really know how much money you can save?”

Most couples today, have careers and family to focus on and don't have the time to plan their wedding, not to mention the stress and time that goes into planning one. Does that mean you shouldn't experience the joy of exchanging vows? No, all you have to do is hire a wedding planner, like me, to take care of all the details. Most couples assume wedding planners charge enormous fees, but that's not true. Hiring a planner can be within your budget and I may be able to save you more money than if you planned a wedding on your own.

A planner can also negotiate vendor costs on behalf of the couple for the services needed for the wedding day, in turn saving an abundance of money for the couple. The planner will help you organize your dream wedding and keep you within your budget by suggesting ways to make your dollar go the farthest. Since your wedding planner is an independent party, he or she, may often mediate disagreements when you are caught between family disputes and friendly disagreements.

Of course, you have the choice to plan the entire wedding yourself or have a family member and even a friend to help, which is sometimes part of the fun of the wedding. However, it can also be a huge hassle and a headache especially if you, your family member, or friend does not have the proper professional wedding training that most professional wedding planners have and experienced. In addition to just finding wedding vendors, you'll need to check out sources, make sure all the details are in place, and worry about whether you're getting the best deal, and, ultimately, if everything will turn out right. A professional wedding planner has the training and experience to do the ground work, and make sure it all works the way you want it to, while you relax and enjoy, leave the planning to the experts.

It is important to realize that a poorly organized wedding can be embarrassing and tacky and will be visible for all your closest friends and family to see. So, there's no point in "trying to pull it off" to see if you can plan something on your own. It's arguably the most important day in your whole life, and it's better to get it done right. Planning should be a happy and exciting affair for a couple to experience.

Before hiring someone, ask if you can see pictures of past weddings that they have organized. Also ask about payment methods they accept and what percentage of the total cost they will charge as their fee. Let your consultant know your budget from the very beginning. No marriage should start off with a mounting debt, so emphasis on sticking to the budget is important. Avoid the added stress and start from the beginning in the right direction by hiring a Wedding Planner.

Testimonial

Planning a wedding from Europe, to be held in Key West, appeared as if it would be a very difficult experience for us...that is until we made contact with Nika. From the very start, she earned our trust and admiration. We simply explained the type of ceremony we imagined and she created our vision. Throughout the planning process she kept in constant communication with us, providing us with options to choose from and timely updates. Well organized and dependable, Nika made certain that everything was prepared in advance of our arrival in Key West. Once we arrived, she coordinated a meeting with our hotel to ensure everything was in order. On the wedding day itself we were pleased to find that the team that Nika assembled exceeded our expectations as well. My wife was especially pleased with her hairdresser and makeup artist. Our wedding officiant and violinist were wonderful as well and it was clear to see that they were very experienced and comfortable working with Nika. Throughtout the entire preparation, ceremony and gathering afterwards, Nika was there to make sure that we were taken care of. We were extremely pleased with the quality of the photos and DVD that Nika created for us. She really put together a wonderful picture package, not just a few standard wedding shots, but a great selection that truly captured the beach atmosphere and emotions of our special day. Best of all, Nika made us feel relaxed and comfortable - we knew we were in good hands! Nika has a great personality and takes the time to add the little personal touches. If ýou are considering having your wedding in Key West, be assured that Nika will create the memorable ceremony you envision! ~ Robert and Jenny

Wedding Message In Bottle Delivered One Year To The Day

WEDDING MESSAGE IN BOTTLE DELIVERED ONE YEAR TO THE DAY

By STEVE GIBBS Free Press Staff

KEY LARGO -- Not many couples would drive to the Florida Keys from Central Florida just to see a bottle.

But for Mark and Jenny Stanley of Winter Springs, this is no ordinary bottle.

It is the green champagne bottle into which they slipped their wedding invitation and a note and tossed into the ocean last year during a July 4 honeymoon cruise off the north coast of Cuba.

"We were married at the Hemingway House in Key West before we boarded the ship for the rest of the cruise. That first night, after dinner, we drank champagne," recalled Jenny, 49. "It was my idea to put the note in the bottle. I had wanted to do this all my life."

"I always wanted to do the same thing," husband Mark, 51, added. "We had a balcony room. We could see Cuba. It was a very romantic moment. The trick was throwing it far enough out to keep from hitting the ship."

Exactly one year later, Taylor Creek resident Chris Gonzalez was out boating on July 4 with her family. They were exploring the shoreline north of Garden Cove when her nephew, Peter Perez, 15, came to the boat with a bottle.

"I could see there was something in there," Gonzalez said. "I used pliers to open the top. It had been well sealed.

"I pushed the cork into the bottle and had a hard time getting out the note. Inside was a wedding invitation rolled up with a white ribbon. Over that was a note. It said something like 'The finder of this bottle will be blessed by angels.'"

It was the newlyweds' champagne bottle.

When Gonzalez located Jenny under her maiden name on Facebook, she told her she had found the bottle. Gonzalez says the couple was at first skeptical, but after exchanging e-mails, the Stanleys have now planned a trip to visit Gonzalez and reclaim their bottle.

The topper, Mark Stanley says, came when his adult son left a book behind earlier this month when he departed for his Army base.

"Call it coincidence, but when we got the call [from Gonzalez] my son's book, "A Message in a Bottle" by Nicholas Sparks, was there on the table in plain sight," he said. "That was really strange."

They were ebullient about the bottle's recovery.

"To find our bottle one year to the day defies all odds," the couple wrote to Gonzalez a week after their one-year anniversary.

Added Mark: "Jennifer and I met six years ago and our first vacation together was no other place than Key Largo where we rented a houseboat for a week. Thus our adventure began at the origin of the bottle finding.

"We do not feel this saga is over, but just begun. Please keep our bottle safe. We do not feel it should be mailed home. We find it would be only right to personally pick up our bottle and meet the person(s) responsible for finding it. ... May the bottle saga continue, for there is something magical about it all that defies the odds."

Gonzalez is eagerly awaiting the Stanleys' visit.

"I am so excited for them. This is their story and I am happy to be a part of it," she said. "I get goose bumps even thinking about it."

What I'm doing...

Preparing for 3 weddings tomorrow. It's going to be a hot one. 2 on the beach and 1 on the cruise ship. Summertime weddings are so tiresome and exhausting but loving every minute of it. Better to have business coming in than not to have anything at all.

Testimonial

"We said our “I do’s” in Key West, and couldn’t imagine a more beautiful setting, or more meaningful ceremony than what was provided. The location was truly an unbelievable paradise with the sunshine, white sandy beaches, and clear blue waters. The ceremony was everything we hoped it would be: romantic, intimate, and stress-free. The total experience was beyond our highest expectations. We were impressed by the level of attentiveness, and attention to detail to ensure our special day ran smoothly. Nika went above and beyond her duty, suggesting accommodations, and activities to do while we vacationed in Key West. Upon returning home we received a link to our photo’s, and the pictures were absolutely amazing. We really liked the extra special touches to the wedding package such as the keepsake certificate that stated our vows, and the DVD slide show to share with our families. Reflecting back on that day I wouldn’t change a thing, and can’t give enough thanks to Nika for making it all happen." -Susan, and Joseph Cronin

Testimonial

Being in the military, my husband and I traveled from two different parts of the world to meet at our chosen paradise. By chance, a few different decisions lead us to choose Key West for our small but beautiful destination wedding. Nika's services seemed better than most, and I immediately knew that she would be the one to help us after such a quick response and a friendly disposition. Well, it didn’t take long to realize that we were in good hands. My hair and makeup turned out beautiful thanks to Nika's suggestions. I can’t even begin to start to describe how amazing, and I will say perfect, that my wedding day was. With Nika's suggestions and all of her help, my wedding turned out absolutely beautiful. The rest of the night was beautiful but had to come to an end. The next day, the pictures arrived later that day, and turned out absolutely more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. The end of the trip came way too soon, and all we could think about was how perfect not only our wedding day was, but the whole week. Nika went above and beyond throughout the whole experience, and always so friendly and with a smile on her face. Not knowing what to expect when we actually got to Key West left us with open minds, but she blew us away. Not only was our wedding day absolutely amazing and beautiful, but the whole weekend before it was carefree, relaxing. We were able to enjoy the days before our wedding instead of being stressed out with wedding details. We just want to say thank you Nika one more time for doing such a wonderful job. -Brian & Nicole
