Silver: Planning
The Silver Planning Package is for the bride and groom that have completed all or most of the arrangements, preparation, booking of vendors, and scheduling on their own, but need assistance in executing their vision on their wedding day.
Let us help make your big day sparkle by coordinating the day-of activities no wedding couple wants to manage themselves. What makes our day-of coordination unique is that we start working with you as soon as we are contracted. We will spend the time learning about every detail of your vision to ensure a smooth, fun, yet structured wedding. We will send you a comprehensive timeline questionnaire as well as review all your booked vendor contracts, contact your vendors to introduce ourselves, ask pertinent questions and confirm all the important details. We will create a detailed wedding day timeline that starts from the morning activities and ends with the last song of the night! And, the best part is that we love to get our timelines done months in advance which helps get everyone on the same page and helps alleviate most of the wedding planning pressure most couples feel.
Your Blissful Occasions event manager will be by your side the whole way because our work begins as soon as we’re hired and you have unlimited communication with us to put your mind at ease!
