1. What does a Sentimental Dreams Wedding and Event Planner do?A Wedding & Event planner or coordinator is hired to help their customers coordinate a wide variety of task associated with weddings. For example, as couples begin thinking about their wedding, they are often confused as to how much to spend, where to obtain specialized services, and how to choose vendors. These worries often mount as quickly as the cost of the wedding. After the euphoria wears off and the reality settles in, it's shocking to discover of how much preparation is involved. Couples are faced with decisions about everything from invitation wording to planning their honeymoon. Couples often find they want experienced professional help. Not long ago, an wedding or event coordinator was thought of as a luxury, only used by the wealthy. Now a coordinator is essential to the well planned affair. It is no longer "trendy" to engage a coordinator. Being experienced in negotiating contracts with caterers, florists, photographers, and other suppliers, the coordinator saves valuable time and money. The coordinator can take advantage of discounts not available to private parties and avoid costly mistakes, while turning your dreams into reality. Return to Top of Page

Some planners are able to use their industry connections with vendors to get you a good deal on things like catering and the dress. After interviewing the bride-to-be and groom, the planner will coordinate the details of the wedding that have been agreed upon.
