Wedding Planner Anyone?

Someone to help plan your big day and make sure it runs smoothly can be a big help (and stress relief)! In my quest to help brides, I asked Tara, of Weddings with Tara, a few questions about her business.

1) Tell me a little about yourself and your business
I have been in the wedding planning business for 10 years, but started my own company 2 1/2 years ago. I am married to an amazing man who supports me in everything that I do, and we have one daughter-a 2 year old boxer/boston terrier mix named Toni. I have a home office, and I love it. Also, Toni would hate it if I was gone all the time! :) The most important thing in my life is my relationship with Jesus Christ, and He is the reason I am able to do what I do. He has blessed my life and my business so much, and He deserves all the credit!

2) What is your favorite part of planning a wedding?
I have many favorite parts, but I LOVE getting to know the bride, groom and their families. It is such a joy to me to hear their stories of where they met, how the got engaged, and to hear their visions for their wedding. I really enjoy bringing their ideas together and making them happen. I simply love what I do!

3) What is the first thing a couple should book for a wedding?
The first thing they should book is a location for their ceremony and reception. If they already have this in place, I would suggest booking those vendors that can only do one wedding per day/weekend...photographer, videographer, band, etc.

4) How often do you meet with the couples you work with?
Goodness...this varies so much that I can't even give you a good answer!

5) Do you work alone, or do you work with a team?
Technically, I would say I work alone, as I try to keep my business very personal. I am very blessed to have a wonderful associate that I use for the rehearsal and day-of, only if a bride wants to use my services, and I am already booked. But, I work with them up until the event on all the plans. I also bring people with me to assist on the day of the wedding if this is necessary.

6) Is there anything you would like to add?
If you want to see some of my work and meet some of my wonderful couples, please visit my blog
