Why you need a Wedding Planner

Multi-tasking - One person cannot be in two (or more) places at the same time. Most professional planners have assistants. The team relieves your stress and handles all those little things that come up. You and your family deserve to enjoy the day and NOT WORK.

Vender recommendations - Professional planners will have contact with most vendors in the area and can recommend the best fit for you.
Time-savers - A wedding planner may save you lots of time researching, comparing quality & prices, contacting vendors and setting appointments.
Contracts - Don’t sign anything until your planner looks it over, they are used to them and can make sure it is what you want with no loopholes.
Budget - Even if you have developed your own budget, a planner can tell you where to look for what you need. A good planner’s contact list is worth its weight in gold. Most of the time, they already know the average cost of things and can point you in the right direction.
Creativity & Ideas - Planners have experience is making dreams come true and working with different elements to bring your vision to reality.
Etiquette - Planners have answers to your difficult questions and know how to handle sticky situations.
Experience - Most planners have lots of experience in planning and creating all types of weddings and events, while most brides have not.
The Big Day - Timelines, details, coordinating, set up, clean up; let your planner handle it, not YOU.

Promised Hearts Sparkler Information

Many weddings these days use sparklers as a sendoff or “the leave” for the bride and groom instead of the traditional rice or birdseed. Sparklers make a very memorable moment as well as help create a great photo opportunity. At the same time, safely must be a priority. Therefore Promised Hearts has designed a Sparkler Policy to fit our needs and protect our clients. Sparkers are considered as novelties by the federal government and are not defined as consumer fireworks, but it is a good idea to check with local ordinance. Sparklers, when used as intended, are extremely safe. Promised Hearts has sole discretion in determining if conditions are acceptable for use of sparklers. Both Promised Hearts and the clients sign our policy and we each keep a copy. Above all, we want the couple and their guests to have a wonderful, safe, time. Let us know if you plan to use sparkers and we will give you our complete Sparkler Policy.

More Info

We offer invitations and lots of unique items on our Website under Resources page (www.promisedhearts.com). We have lots of rental items; colonnades, arbors, a Candy Cart, and Chocolate Fountains with colored chocolate. We also have a large selection of rental centerpieces including shell shaped glassware. Follow us on Pinterest.

Most weddings take 175-225 hours to plan, including research, vendor contacts, meetings, phone calls, emails, etc. Pricing depends on exact needs, wedding size, location of wedding & reception, possibly travel, and the amount of time needed to plan. In the event of bad weather, PH, along with the venue, will make determinations that are in the best interest of all parties involved.

We have a wonderful team; Promised Hearts has sole discretion in determining which member or members will be at your wedding.

Use this as a worksheet, circle your needs; and this addendum may become part of your contract.
