This is a question I get asked every hundreds of times.  This past weekend we had 3 weddings a corporate event and several tours and I have to say that I could not have done it all without the help of an amazing event planner that 2 of our brides used.  Cortney Ford-Hamil is the event planner that we were blessed to work with this weekend.  Courtney was able to organize, delegate and control the entire flow of each wedding that she was involved with.  When a situation arose she handled it as if she knew all along it was going to come up.  Planners also put the brides and families at ease because they have built a relationship with the them over several months in many cases.  This trickles down to the whole staff , including myself, and makes the entire event more enjoyable.  There is so much pressure and so many emotions on the day of a wedding for a bride and family so having someone to take away all worries or concerns about the hundreds of details is priceless.  The other great thing about an event planner is  that if you do not have the budget to hire one for the entire process of planning your wedding or event you can hire them on an hourly basis or even just for a few days.  I  have hosted tons of events here and I don't think I will ever plan and organize my own event ever again without the help of an event planner.  Thanks again Courtney you did an amazing job!!
