Wedding Planners rock! But that's not why you should hire us first... BB Jean Events, Bellingham Wedding Planner

... or maybe it is :) Every year I get a mixed variety of clients-which is fun. I like variety. But inevitably there are always 1 or two that hire us at the last minute because they didn't realize they would need a wedding coordinator until the inevitable happened-they couldn't figure out who was going to handle set up, vendor schedules, timelines, final decor pieces ...and heaven knows they weren't going to trust the groomsmen or their 14 year old cousin to handle those details for them.

I sometimes call my work with late bookings damage control-I'm often fixing issues that have come up, having to re-coordinate with vendors what is going on, working under some looming deadlines to make changes happen, and calming down an overly stressed bride who is about to fall to pieces from trying to figure it out on her own. Not my favorite way to work. I like happy brides. Hiring a wedding planner sooner solves that.

The average wedding isn't what it used to be and there are a lot of details to cover in a finite amount of time. If you're engaged, you most likely haven't done any of this before, and that's ok. It's why I'm here. But if you're worried about financially affording a wedding planner, let me provide a bit of insight (insight at least with how we roll over here at BB Jean).

First, our prices don't go down because you've waited to hire us. In fact, sometimes last minute bookings can be significantly more because we have to get a lot of things taken care of in a very short amount of time. There are also situations where clients have booked vendors that were too expensive, beyond their budget or just down right not working for them. This can cause a lot of headaches and financial issues that could have been solved had we been brought in from the beginning. Coming in at the beginning makes us happier campers and you a much more relaxed person. Helping you pick the right vendors for your style, budget and wedding are one of the biggest reasons couples should bring us on-and more times then not, it's a decision that can pay you back.

When it comes to what your wedding looks like, well, sky's the limit. You can literally do whatever you want-which can be tons of fun when you two get started, until you get to that one thing that you would love to have, but just don't know how to coordinate. Another little perk we offer our clients-your wish is our command and we do whatever it takes to make it work. We also have an eye for making sure your wedding looks cohesive and the overall look is on par with what you want. You're shelling out oodles of money for your wedding photography, how about we make sure what's in the pictures looks stellar? What's that? You want a rad wedding with incredible pictures? Fuinny, I want you to have that too! And I would love to help you get it!
