Thanksgiving to Valentine’s day is prime time for proposals. There is so much love in the air with families being near, feasts being prepared, gifts being opened and vacations abound. What better time for a man to propose? But now the holidays have passed, the ring is on your finger… and you may be finding yourself asking the question, “Where do I begin?”

Consulting a wedding planner would be the first step. The wedding industry is huge and there are thousands of decisions to be made. A wedding planner knows the vendors in your industry, who will give you the best value for your money and they will be able to give you valuable secrets to saving money, time and headaches. Most planners offer a complimentary initial meeting to see if they are a good fit for your needs. Some, like us, even post their pricing and packages on their website, see ours here.
