Wedding Planning FAQs
Why hire a wedding planner?
Every couple should seriously consider hiring a wedding planner. Planners have experience selecting the best vendors, balancing budgets, and coordinating the special details that make an event memorable. The task of a planner is to ensure that your day is as flawless as can be, within budget, and with minimum drama. Events Beyond is beside you ever step of the way so that you, your family and your friends are able to relax and cherish the day.
Do you offer “day-off” planning services?
No; however, we offer “month before service.” Events Beyond wants your special day to be as flawless as can be. To that end, Events Beyond needs sufficient time to get to know you and understand your needs and preferences. It also allows us time to confirm vendors, diligently examining contracts to ensure the players will be ready and accounted for come your wedding day.
Do you suggest venues and vendors?
Events Beyond can suggest as many or as few venues and vendors as you desire. We recommend working with our preferred vendors; they are preferred because over the years they have proved to be experienced and reliable. Once you sign a contract with Events Beyond, we provide a list of venues and vendors to fit your budget.
Do you offer planning services for destination weddings?
Yes! After your consultation and once you sign a contract with Events Beyond, we will prepare a proposal suited to your budget and vision. Events Beyond prepares two proposals. If you change your mind about the destination or scale of the event, we do charge for additional proposals.
Do you offer customized packages or set packages?
We offer both traditional packages and custom services. Events Beyond prefers to do customized packages to fit your needs and budget. We prefer not to be a cookie cutter service. Events Beyond will personalize every event to reflect you and your fiancé’s personality and style.
Do you require a deposit, and if so, how much?
Events Beyond collects a 50% retainer fee at the sign of contract. Payment is due in full two weeks before the wedding day.
How many staff do you bring on the day of the wedding?
Staffing depends on the size, budget, and type of wedding. Events Beyond will determine the amount of staff needed during your consultation.
Do you recommend purchasing wedding insurance?
Yes! Events Beyond strongly encourages every couple to purchase wedding insurance. Weddings are expensive and require a great deal of effort. Unfortunately, as much as you hope all will be well on your wedding day, the weather, the economy and unforeseen sickness and injury are facts of life. The nominal amount (usually a few hundred dollars) you invest in wedding insurance is well worth considering.
Do you meet with vendors?
Yes! Events Beyond can attend vendor meetings and review proposals and contracts. Tastings are an excellent way for your planner to help you determine whether the venue or vendor is suited to your budget, style, and theme. We can also help guide the best menu and cocktail choices for your wedding.
Do you plan engagement parties, showers, bachelor and bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinners, after parties, and the day-after brunches?
Yes! Events Beyond is experienced and able to plan nearly any kind of event. We specialize in coordinating the entire wedding process, from engagement to honeymoon. If you book three or more events with Events Beyond, you will receive a discount on services. If you refer a client and they book their event with Events Beyond (before your event takes place), you will receive a discount on service.
