Here’s some advice from a groom – hire Ali. When Chaoran brought up the idea of using a wedding planner my first reaction was “why pay someone to do that?”. Well the answer is we could not have done it without her, deciding to work with Ali was easily the best decision we made. She was able to free up our time while still giving us complete control over our wedding. From the beginning she listened to what we wanted, handled the vendors and guided us through the whole planning process. Ali took care of all the details and worked with us to create a wonderful ceremony and reception. If you want to have a perfect wedding then the place to start is with a phone call to Ali.

event space
In September, I was honored to be asked to speak by Sarah and Andrea from Cherry Berry Events at Camp Wedding at the Camp Wandewega, located in Wisconsin. This was their inaugural wedding retreat and I was looking forward to meeting some new friends in the wedding industry. I attend a couple of event conferences a year and I was intrigued by the concept of Camp Wedding, with wedding professionals being in a camp environment.
