And to be honest, it is; s not that any of us were so against 6 years ago with them, it is; s just that ... sane wedding planners were few and far between. And most of us didn '; t feel that paying cash to have someone tell us, yes, we really have to shell out for the fancy chair covers necessary. Or no, no one would like a taco truck wedding: "Because who wants to eat from the back of a truck?"

Cheerleader. Permission Giver.
The longer I doing this Wedding Gig (6 years and counting), I see more couples with Day-of Coordinators (DOC) or Wedding Planners. And to be honest, it's not as if any of us were like that. Against 6 years ago with them, it's just that ... sane wedding planners were scarce And most of us do not feel like paying money to have someone tell us, yes, we really fancy chair covers for fork needed. Or no, no one would like a taco truck wedding: "Because who wants to eat from the back of a truck?" (Everyone. Everyone wants to eat tacos from a truck, btw.)
But you're lucky. Because these days, you can people like Meigh at Lula Mae Special Events in Washington, DC for hire to give you advice (how can you find that affordable venue in DC that you're looking for?). You can use the things that you really do not want to treat with treat (hey, wedding planning spreadsheets). And they may even help you to do this DIY projects (all the flower delivery Never use while letting you skip buying again). But the best part? Meigh is not to say in it, what to do. And if you want to know whether you should get a taco truck / drag queen performance / cliffs have private ceremony? Good. She says:
I love to visions of my clients happen. Sometimes it feels like a client needs or wants permission to go really awesome wedding element with some, and I am always happy to support their plans. "Thrilled Cheerleader" is about fifteen percent of what I do. "Herding Cats" and "handing tissue" is the other ninety 5 percent. Yes, I know, that's a 110%, but I deal with it. Boom
Lula Mae Events' motto :. "Love your wedding; Burrowing crazy." Or :. Helping healthy people stay healthy while throwing the most kick-ass, love-filled, magical bash always
& amp; lt; 3 APWers & amp; lt; 3
If you ask me, is one of the coolest things about Meigh and Lula Mae and events that Meigh Read APW has since almost the beginning. So, not only do they get really, it you too. And she wants to help you take the best wedding ever. (She also understands what to do if something goes wrong. Your photographer disappeared shortly before her own wedding, and it was possible to help me, you can find a new one to the last minute. And she's now in front pay it to you all ., forever) Meigh says:
I was a APW reader long before Lula Mae events was one thing, and my very first clients were APW people, so it is already a long love affair on my end. APW readers are my favorite, with because they smart to work healthy and creative, and we are often on the same page, which is important in a wedding (two people, love, sometimes legal documents) and what is not (individually monogrammed Guest totes, chair covers, dancefloor gobos). They are also the people most likely to want a petting zoo at her wedding, and I'm dying to do that
And how long APWer, it's no surprise that Lula Mae events running through the guiding principle, Meigh says:
When I decided to launch Lula Mae, it was after many years of feeling out of place, guarded, and with the type of company I tried to fit in unhappy. It was important for me to do this project authentically, because people entrusting me with one of the most important and vulnerable, and meaningful days of her life, and everything is less disrespectful. I told myself that if I am in my Meigh-ly, I would find work with the clients that I should.
And I did! So authenticity is a big deal for me, and I am trying everything in my business in the way I would someone if I were the customer want. Also, I follow "do not be a dick." Wheaton law
I am the lady, if you take something from your brain and make it really want to talk. I am interested in the lady, if you want to know whether something to talk stupid / funny / are to work at a wedding (Answer :. No). I am the woman whose job it is to get between my clients and stress, allowing you to enjoy fully and be for every freaking second of their wedding gift. I'm so, so happy, my people, the kind of people, the events that they had found in his right mind at affordable prices, authentic, and appreciate fun. Oh, and I happen to be married to a (fantastic) woman, so I love it, same-sex marriages (or as I call it, weddings) and I have a lot of advice and insight into the challenges and adventures for same sex in DC people hitched
Price:
But the best? Meigh is in advance of their prices, and you can definitely afford it (even if only for an hour). Never one to hide the ball, they will give you their current rates flat out
tag coordination :. $ 850
- Face to-face meeting one to two weeks before the wedding day or to address timeline, suppliers, special needs, etc.
- supplier confirmation before the wedding
- Rehearsal coordination
- Complete coverage on the wedding day, so that everything runs smoothly from start to finish
full- and part-Planning Services from $ 1800 to $ 5000 "/ span>
- All offers are individual, but full and partial plan covers all day coordination services, as well as things such as event design, suppliers research, custom planning documents and deadlines, DIT craft and your call by 5 clock in the morning when you realize that you forgot to order ice
And also ... DIT florals for client Weddings :. $ 250
- I've started DIT floral along with some of my wedding, and it's super fun. We take a trip to the flower market and some planning and design, and then before the wedding clients a team together and we make table arrangements, boutonnières, plants, etc. There is a flat fee of $ 250 and I offer deliveries, use and traffic (since with DIY / DIT, you do not have a florist to them at the box office for you to fall) and the customer the flowers, vessels and person-power. I always at least one hot glue burn at the end, but it's a lot of fun, and the guests are very impressed when the couple says that they did their own flowers.
Make Stuff! Already from 65 $
- I offer lessons and equipment, man or woman-power customer offer, and we get all of your DIY ideas from your Pinterest board and into reality ,
Hourly Consulting: $ 40
- What it says on the tin. If customers need some help figuring out how to find invitations or a food truck caterer or what to do if your cousin RSVPs with 5 uninvited guests, I'm here to help.
It makes me overwhelmingly pleased that the married to you, today always hire someone to do, I could only dream of: confirming your petting zoo and food truck selection for you with flowers, and help you to find the best venues and suppliers in your price range. It thrills me that for only $ 850, you can hire someone to your wedding to be stage manager. For that amount, they will do something priceless: take care of hauling the chairs and dealing with your pain-in-the-ass aunt, so you can just tune in to marry. But what makes me the happiest is that if you hire Meigh, you find someone who cares about you to get emotional. Someone who really understands why you're there. And anyone who knows that at the end of the day, it's not about the chair covers, but it is not even about the taco truck. It's about love and family and life. I'll Meigh leave with the last word:
A lot of my work is the organization of logistics and tussle all the moving parts of a major event, but the best things that I get do is emotional. I love to interact with my clients and their families, and learn all about family traditions and gossip, and why-we-do-things-this-way. I get to connect two people their lives together; This is huge. I still cry at the ceremony when I observe a chance. I make things happen. I love love love the feeling at the end of the night, if the couple is happy away, the guests have gone, and despite the fact that my feet are killing me I look at my wife who helps me with almost every wedding, because they is incredible, and we say: "That was a good one."
And reserve your amazingly good rate before putting it away:
because Meigh will go on maternity leave from mid-October until the new year, it has a 10% discount for the first 5 2015 Customers who bought the book from their 2014 prices, the increase is for 2015 to be 1 before October, so it's a pretty amazing deal
