Hostess

"Do I really need a hostess?" The answer is, "Yes!"  You deserve a smoothly run wedding and a good hostess is invaluable to pull everything together and give you peace to enjoy your ceremony.  Giving this responsibility to a friend is unfair to her and to you. From teaching groomsmen how to walk a bridesmaid to proper etiquette, our hostess will cover it all.  Here is some of what our hostess handles.

Rehearsal.  She organizes the ceremony, sets the timing and look.  She checks: music cues, ushers, parents placement, processional, recessional, court arrangement, and conducts two run-throughs.  She instructs bridesmaids and groomsmen on pace, how to hit their marks, and she removes any doubt on cues. 

Wedding. She arrives one hour before your wedding, checks on the bride and assists in preparation.  She verifies the vendors, the guest book, the guests seating, the wedding party, ushers, props, and music cues. When bride and groom are ready she cues the minister.  She times the wedding cueing bridesmaids, ring bearer, flower girl, and bride.  After the wedding she makes sure the license is signed and ready for mailing and organizes for photos.  Often brides ask her to stay and assist with the reception for an additional hourly fee.

Full wedding Coordinator.  Our hostess is also a full wedding coordinator.  Depending on your needs, she will spend weeks or months with you to help on every detail from invitations to choosing a dress to make your wedding a success.  Email for more information.
