Planning Assistant
​

Since 2009, I have helped with planning over 500 small weddings (up to 50 guests). Wedding planners are great, but if you don't have any assistance and still need help, I would love to be your resource. 

With the Planning Assistant Package I can assist you with:
  • Extended Restaurant Recommendations from our curated list of local restaurants with private and semi-private dining rooms including contact information and menus (on request).
  • Hotel Recommendations (As 29 year residents and members of our local hospitality community, we have seen over 150 local hotels, inns and B&B’s and can offer advice. We do recommend that you narrow down your list by using a site such as hotels.com or booking.com or using our list of hotel recommendations by category, and then provide us with your top 3 - 4 choices which we will narrow them down for you.
  • Our well-researched activity guide for fun things to do for couples while you are visiting the Monterey Peninsula for your wedding. 
  • Vendor list (updated 2 - 3 times a year) including our local hospitality stars in the following categories: Bakeries, Floral, DJ’s and Live Musicians, Hair and Makeup, Transportation, Videographers, House Rentals, Specialty Wedding Decor, Spa Services and Caterers. Let us know who you book, and we will contact them personally (sometimes, knowing that we referred them and the volume of business we provide, can promote better service).
  • If you have a processional, we will provide a worksheet for you to fill out and return. On your wedding day, we will line everyone up and making sure to coordinate with the photographer and any musician or DJ.
  • If you decide to add a Romantic Room Design, an upgrade that include’s additional rose petals and candles. We will also contact your hotel and using our influence do our very best to get you upgraded.
  • After your wedding day concludes, we will send a detailed email with next steps regarding your marriage license, getting certified copies, and information on name change (if applicable) and what entities you will need to contact.
  • $150 investment added to your package plan
