So you’re diving into the wedding planning chaos, and your first stop is making enquiries with your potential wedding planner. At Keshira Creative Events we don’t like to spring questions on you completely out of the blue, so here’s what you can expect in your free consultation.
Your Love Story: Tell me about you.
– First things first, give me your story. How you met, what your journey has been and how you popped the question. Give me the good, the bad, and the hilarious.
Pinning Down the Date: When’s the Big Day, Anyway?
– Let’s talk about dates. DO you have an ideal date in mind? Have you thought about holidays, school terms, price fluctuations?
Venue Vibes: Where’s the Party At?
– Venue chat time. Got a spot in mind, or are we starting the quest for the perfect location for your dream day? I have plenty of local recommendations for varying styles and sizes so don’t worry if you aren’t yet sure.
Defining Your Style: Are We Classic, Modern, or is there a hint of a theme?
– Are you envisaging timeless classics, modern chic, or thinking of throwing in some wild theme? Is a DIY wedding your dream?
Guest Count: Who’s In, Who’s Out, and Who’s Maybe?
– The numbers game. How many guests are on your list? Is the list finalised or is there room to play with numbers?
Budget Talk: What’s your plan?
Money matters. As a wedding planner and professional I promise I dont ask this question in order to inflate my prices. I simply ask so I can recommend suppliers and help guide your ideas in the right direction.
Must-Have Elements: What’s the Non-Negotiables?
– Essentials, please! What are the things you absolutely MUST have on your big day? Let’s talk about priorities.
Colour Palette: Painting Your Day
– Colour chat. Any shades that are totally your jam? Are you unsure what would work for you?
Prioritising Your Priorities: What’s Top of the List?
– Priority check. What’s top of your list – smooth sailing, killer styling, or making sure Aunt Mabel has a blast?
Cultural or Religious Considerations: Any Traditions We Should Know About?
– Culture talk. Any traditions or religious bits we should be considering? Or any new traditions you would love to make? I’m all about creating new experiences or adding a twist to tradition.
Supplier Check: Who’s Already on the list?
– Supplier Shortlists. Who have you already approached? This part goes hand in hand with your priorities for the day.
Involvement Levels: How Much Are You Planning To Be Involved?
– Your role. How hands-on are you feeling? Ready to dive into the planning madness, or prefer to keep it light touch?
Anticipating Challenges: Any Potential Curveballs?
– Hurdles. What challenges are on your radar? Let’s chat about how we can manage them.
Guest Experience: Creating Moments that Stick
– Guest vibes. What’s the vibe you’re going for? Let’s make sure every moment feels just right for you and your guests.
Three Words: Summing Up Your Vision in a Snap
– Quick-fire round – sum up your dream day in three words. No overthinking, just the first words that pop into your head.
