Q: How do I prepare for my initial consultation?
A: After the initial thought of hosting an event, you began to brainstorm and gather pictures of ideas that you would like to incorporate, how many guests you would like to have attend and how much you can realistically spend on your event.  These are key elements and this information should accompany you at your initial consultation. 

Q: What kind of events do you specialize in?
A: Wedding are not the only events that we plan and manage!  From guest lists of 30 to lists toping off in the hundreds~ we offer comprehensive planning and or custom event designing for the following:

Birthday Celebrations
Corporate Event Design*/Product Launches
Holiday Gatherings
Showers

Q: Do I need to hire a Wedding/Event Professional?
A: An industry professional is part of your budget, not an extra expense, as many believe.  A consultant plays an essential part in your planning, helping to avoid those costly mistakes. Given the elevated costs of wedding & events and the time constraints involved with planning and coordinating the myriad of logistics, it becomes a challenge for everyone involved.

Q: If I retain your services, will I be active in my own event?
A: Of course! Our staff will handle as much or as little of your event as you wish, all while being mindful of your time and budget. We act as a team member and confidant to assist you in planning the perfect event.  


Q: Will you be present at my event?
A: YES! Each client that entrusts Affairs Remembered Event Management with their event is special and deserving of the attention of every member of our event management staff.


Q: Do you have references from your past clients?
A: Yes, in addition to the reviews posted on our site, WeddingWire.com and various other planning sites, contracted clients may request an additional list of references from past clients.


Q: What is the difference between wedding/event coordination and wedding/event planning?
A: The main difference is the amount of planning services a client receives. Day-of Coordination is designed for clients who have completed their event plans, themselves, and want someone to ensure that their event runs smoothly and to their satisfaction.  Planning clients receive this service, plus the benefit of professional assistance with the selecting, hiring, and negotiation of vendors in addition to dozens of other services.
