Oh yeah, there's a difference - NJ/NY Wedding Planner

Hope everyone is having fun planning! I would like to explain the difference between hiring a Pure Ambiance Wedding/Event Planner and utilizing the services of a Bridal Attendant/Event Coordinator at a hotel or banquet facility. This is in no way to take anything away from what that they do; it is just to clarify the difference because many are not aware. Many brides believe they are one in the same and they truly are not. At a banquet facility/hotel, the Attendant/Coordinator is there to handle all details pertaining to the facility only. They are there to make sure you are comfortable. Provide drinks and snacks, assist with minor issues, and check up on the things you have arranged. The Attendant/Coordinator and/or various members of the catering staff will make sure things are going according to schedule and will oversee the set up. However, Pure Ambiance provides this and much more, which compliments these services already offered. Depending on which package you select, your services with Pure Ambiance could include budget management, finding vendors and negotiating contracts, complete event design, honeymoon planning assistance, and much more. Even with our day-of package, this still includes us creating a timeline/itinerary for your day, contacting your vendors to ensure everything will go according to plan, coming to your preparation location to check on you, run your rehearsal, and complete wedding day coverage. We will set up the ceremony and reception site and make sure that every detail is just as you want it. You are in constant contact with us, so we know exactly how you want things set up and we will be sure that everything is just as you envisioned. The Attendant/Coordinator does not handle 95% of these services listed. So, for those who choose to only utilize the banquet facility's Attendant/Coordinator and forego the services that a Wedding Planner can offer, just consider all of the additional services, discounts, other perks, and attention you will miss out on. Happy planning!
