Question 1

How can I book with you?

Accepted Answer

1. Fill out the event application on our contact page. 2. Schedule a consultation. You'll receive an email with our brochure and consultation appointment schedule link at the bottom. 3. Once our consult is done, you'll retrieve a custom quote and drafted agreement within 24 hours. 4. Sign the agreement and remit deposit to book or contact us with further questions and revisions.

Question 2

How soon do we start once we've booked your services?

Accepted Answer

Planning Packages begin as soon as possible. Once your deposit is paid and agreement signed, we'll schedule our first planning meeting.  Event Management begins 3-4 months prior to your event date. This allows you time to finish booking all of your vendors before we sort out logistical plans and get you organized in the final stages.  Coordination begins 1 - 2 months prior to your event date. At this point all your vendors have been hired and most logistics sorted and settled.

Question 3

Do you work with a team?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We at BW Events, are a team of specially trained planners, event managers and assistants who settle for nothing less than exceptional for our clients. To learn more about each team members background, please check out the About Us page.

Question 4

My Photographer and DJ says they can coordinate...

Accepted Answer

We get this a lot. But then when it comes down to the wire, the DJ isn't there early enough to oversee set up. The photographer gives their timeline but isn't checking with the DJ and Caterer if that works for them or managing deliveries with rental companies. There's a lot of gaps because they are only focused on what pertains to their department: music or photography. Not having a coordinator or event manager inhibits them from being able to do the best at their job.

Question 5

My friend or family member says they'll coordinate....

Accepted Answer

We are the glue that fits in the gaps between friends, family and vendors' responsibilities.  A lot of times we hear horror stories of a friend or family member managing a wedding that went south really quick or didn't do what they said they would and left vendors or even the couple floundering the day of.  They just don't have the experience we do to catch problems before the day arrives and how to fix them when they happen. Also those friends or family members usually want to drink and enjoy socializing, leading them to forget what's next and not communicating with vendors when they need it.  We've spent countless hours working with vendors and learning each of their roles so we can better serve them and our couples. Every event is different and every event will have hiccups. It's inevitable. So hiring us means less hiccups, reliable work, trusted advisement, professionality and experience that brings you peace of mind.

Question 6

What's the benefit of a planner?

Accepted Answer

The average wedding takes about 500 hours to plan. That's almost 13 weeks working 40 hours a week and 25 weeks working 20 hours a week. Couples spend most of that time researching who to hire and how to even execute a wedding.  Hiring a planner means less time for you since we already have the resources and knowledge. We help you figure out what you want, bring you those resources, wager out the pros and cons with advisement and get it locked down. You just have to say yes or no and ask any questions you have. Then we help you execute it without you having to lift a finger.   An added bonus is we become great friends and even feel like family by the wedding day. We have your back every step of the way.
