vendors

 There are so many great vendors in our region and fishing through to find the right one can be a daunting task. Our  coordination services help you prioritize your budget, determine the style of your event and begin to asses your need from each vendor. From there we can help you select two or three of the vendors that best suit your needs, style and your budget. We do not work exclusively with an one vendor, we simply help you make a sound choice of who to hire. 

Vendors- If we've worked with you and your name is not on this page, it is not intentional. Please just send us a reminder and we'll be sure to get your name on right away!
