Do you have a cell phone?Not with me. You can be assured that I will help you plan the wedding you have always wanted, with the eye for detail, fresh ideas, and the expertise you need, but I'm nothing like the pretentious wedding coordinators that are portrayed on television. Weddings are my passion and I want yours to go smoothly. I want your day to be just what you are dreaming of, and I'll help...
What does your name, A Cord of Three, mean?I took the name from one of my favorite verses of the Bible, Ecclesiastes 4:12. The verse itself is "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." In a marriage, two is better than one because, as another part of the same chapter reads, if one falls down, the other can help him up. God never intended for...
How do you charge?Our first meeting is completely free, and there is no obligation for you to sign a contract at that first meeting. It is for us to get to know each other and see if we will be a good "fit". If we don't mesh, that's fine, and all you have lost is about an hour of your time. If we decide to go forward, I will send you a written contract, stating how much I will cha...
What about commissions or "referral fees" - do you accept them from the vendors we hire?No way. I believe this is completely wrong, and places the wedding coordinator in the place of a seller's agent (the vendors) instead of the buyer's agent (you) - to borrow some terms from the real estate industry. I want to find the best vendors for you, to fit your wedding vision, your unique situations, and your budget. If I know someone that would be a good fit for you...
How many weddings do you book per year?I only like to do one full-service coordination per season, or at the absolute most, one per month. It may make me "look better" to be able to say that I coordinate 50 weddings a year, and it would most certainly pad my pocketbook better, but that is not what I am all about. As I stated in the About section, I do this because it is my passion, not my main means o...
Do you have a maximum number of meetings you will have with us or with potential vendors?No. With the full-service package, I will base my fee on an estimate of the time and complexity your wedding will require, but I completely understand the need to be absolutely sure about a certain vendor (requiring more than one appointment) or being indecisive about things. I want your day to be just what you envision, and I will never pressure you into making a decision...
How will you be attired at my wedding?I generally like to match the formality level of the wedding, so that I blend into the crowd and do not stick out (the limelight belongs to you, not me)! I do prefer to wear slacks though, with all the running around I'll be doing on your day!
Do you have any references from previous brides and grooms?Yes! Click here to read some testimonials. I have many more, therefore f you would like more information or referrals, please contact me and I'll be very happy to give you some names.
How do you deal with last-minute emergencies?Yes, they always happen. With the best planning, there will always be a snag or two that comes up. With hundreds of elements coming together into one day or weekend, there is always something that doesn't go exactly according to plan. Most snafus you can prevent ahead of time; others you just can't, such as children with stage fright, a rainy day, or a run in your hose. I ...
Do you have a cell phone?Yes. My cell phone is my main business line, and it will be with me at all times - most certainly on your wedding day.
