Hotel Package

When you are planning an extravagant wedding celebration with intricate details, this is the package for you. Your custom designs - from couture linens to mood lighting - every detail will be planned and executed with lavish, careful attention.

An initial discussion with Michael will include your locations, travel plans, honeymoon location and feeling you want at your celebration.

This package includes:

• Client/designer first meeting to develop working relationship between principals and communicate wedding inspiration to designer. This first meeting usually lasts 2 to 3 hours.
  
  
• Design of a very special celebration for your wedding. The wedding day is traditionally comprised of the preparation time, gathering time, ceremony, cocktail party, and dinner dance.
  
  
• Hire and manage vendors/contract them for products and services. Distribute deposits with contracts and present final payment checks to be delivered at wedding. Los Angeles wedding planners negotiate vendor in/out times, distribute maps to them with load-in information, vendor parking, guarantee vendor meals with caterer/snacks/staff drinking water, arrange travel and lodging.
  
  
• Invitation design and printing coordination including menu cards, seating cards, escort cards, thank you notes, table numbers, any signage necessary for your event location. A travel portfolio may be necessary so guests know how and what to pack for.
