The Wedding Planner

Wow, haven't posted in a while :( I started this post two weeks ago, but didn't get around to finishing it until now... I seem to have writer's block :|

D and I needed someone who will help make the big day stress free. Someone who will call vendors up when they're not where they're supposed to be. Someone who will crack the whip while D and I bask in the wedding festivities. No, we didn't hire J.Lo; we hired JC instead... Jennifer Chan, that is.
Jennifer was referred to us by Desy, our videographer. Although she can be considered as a newbie in the wedding/event planning world, Jennifer is very professional and carries herself well.

I had contacted/considered other wedding planners as well:
To be frank, all we need is someone who will make sure things happen on time and can help decorate the Boathouse for the reception. So it ultimately boiled down to cost. With JC being the most cost efficient, we went for her :) I've already started working with Jennifer. We had our first (of five) consultation back on Nov 24! I compiled an info sheet for Jennifer based on the wedding template from Weddingbee. At the moment, I'm working on getting a list of rental items and vendors to help JC effectively chase people down on the day.

Latest Updates
