How It Works:
A lot of planning and hard work goes into creating the perfect wedding or event. But it is essential to also create a memorable experience together. Enjoying the adventure and savouring these moments for a lifetime. Below is a short breakdown of their process and how they go to work. (Although they always keep in mind that each wedding is unique and will be managed differently)
They say Hi / The first coffee session. The initial meeting will be about getting to know each other, listening to what you have in mind and having a look at your inspirations.
Quoting and Costs. A few days after the first meeting, she will draw up a quotation of the services you will be needing and send it via email.
Confirmation. Once you had the chance to go through the quotation, a deposit is paid and your date is booked. If there are any questions you have at this point, they will also address that and make sure you are both on the same page.
The planning begins. Zenobia will start off by creating the budget for your event and get that approved by you. Thereafter she will focus on sourcing the perfect service providers, arranging venue viewings and find the ideal photographer to capture your big day. All appointments for dress fittings, hair trials, meetings and menu tastings will be set-up by her and communicated to you, all the while making sure it fits your schedule.
Finalising loose ends. A few weeks before your big day, she will contact all service providers and send them the timeline. This is to make sure everyone is on the same page. She will also make sure you know what happens when to tie up loose ends and make sure all preparation and set-up start the day before.
It’s your wedding day! While you relax and enjoy a peaceful morning with your family and bridesmaids, she will make sure all service providers arrive on time. That the venue is ready to be photographed and that every element is in place before you walk down the aisle. Once you’ve had the biggest celebration of your life and get whisked away on honeymoon, she will make sure the breakdown runs smoothly the following day.
