Why Hire a Bridal  Consultant?
When you have something break in your
house, you call in an expert.
When planning your wedding, you
should think along the same lines! A
wedding consultant is the expert on
weddings.  We can help you to create
the wedding that YOU have always
dreamed of (but may not have the time
to plan). This is a once-in-a-lifetime day!
The big picture of hiring a consultant
Long Distance Planning-
If you live in one place but are going to be
married in another, such as your home
town, the consultant in the area can keep
track of all the details and recommend
credible          suppliers without you
having to do it all long distance.

Organization-
If you don't have someone close to you to
help you, such as a mother or close
friend who has gotten married, you may
have no idea even where to start. A
consultant can help you get yourself on
track, and keep you from forgetting
important details.

Mediator-
If you have someone to help, but are
afraid of them taking over the planning, a
consultant can act as a mediator, who
may help you keep your wedding as YOU
want it.

Etiquette-
If there is a delicate family situation, the
consultant can help you with the etiquette
of the situation so that your wedding runs
smoothly with no hurt feelings.

Cost benefit of hiring a consultant
What can our consulting do for you?
We can save you time by doing all the preliminary work for
you. We can spend time getting all the best places and
merchants so that you can make all your decisions at one
time, without running around.

We can save you money and headaches by knowing who
has the best values, or who is reputable and who is not.

We can help you stay within your budget, because we know
where the bargains can be found, we will most likely plan a
wedding worth more then you might otherwise been able
to have. We are the best financial advisor you will have to
help establish a complete and comprehensive budget,
track your progress relative to the budget and help you
avoid "emotional spending"

We will "balance your books", by making sure that all
deposits are paid on time, and final payments are followed
through, so family members and friends aren't paying
vendors themselves on the day of the wedding.
A consultant's fees should be considered as part of the budget,
not additional to the budget. Our expertise often saves you most of
our fee and insures high quality, reputable services from
suppliers. We find the best suppliers that will give you the best
service for the dollar. Our fee pays for itself in what we can save
you in time and costly mistakes should you unknowingly choose
unreputable vendors.
At Andrea's Elegant Affair we do not choose vendors that give us
cost breaks or commission, we choose the vendors that are the
best fit for your Elegant Affair, and what you want for your big day!

We can help you with all your planning, such as who is
to be where, at what time, and can make sure that
everything runs smoothly, all day.

We can plan only those details you don't want to deal
with, such as find a good florist and caterer or you can
have us coordinate your entire wedding.

Our duties include co-ordinating the rehearsal and
we're available on your wedding day, from the time you
leave home to the end of the reception.

You will receive special attention from all of the
vendors, rather then this being a one-shot deal, the
merchant wants to retain their relationship with
Andrea's Elegant Affair, so that we will recommend
them in the future, this guarantees you accountability
from everyone you hire.

We will make sure that you enjoy your wedding day,
without having to think of all the details, and worry that
something has been overlooked.
