COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PACKAGE

When you are planning a fabulous wedding for guests in town consider this package. The Beverly Hills Hotel, Four Seasons at Beverly Hills or Saddlerock Ranch - whatever location you choose - E D Events will take the location and make it exquisitely yours for the evening! Our creativity and genius make each celebration unique to flatter our distinctive clients.

This package includes:

• Complimentary 1 to 2 hour initial meeting with client and designer to understand your wishes and requirements, and develop a working relationship between principals.
• Design a very special ceremony, cocktail party and dinner 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. Negotiate vendor in/out times, distribute maps to them with load-in information, vendor parking, and guarantee vendor meals with caterer/snacks/ staff drinking water.
• Invitation design and printing coordination including menu cards, seating cards, escort cards, thank you notes, table numbers, any signage necessary for your event location.
• Photographer and Videographer suggestions and coordination. Discuss with bride and groom regarding scheduling a photo session before the ceremony. Before ceremony photos allow you time to enjoy the cocktail party and spend time with your guests.

• Coordinate a comfortable and creative timeline for all events. Provide appropriate timing suggestions for toasts and other highlights; for example: first dance, father/daughter dance, best man/maid of honor toasts, etc. and cue for each. Distribute timeline to all participants and vendors.
