September 10, 2010
Who are the wedding vendors that you have already decided to hire?
Talented and artistic Carlie Statsky for photography.
Yummy food by Paradise Catering in Carmel Valley.
Entertainment by The Steve Ezzo Band out of Monterey.
Beautiful flowers done by Linda of Country Essences Flowers.
What is your venue and why did you choose it?
The amazing and beautiful Holman Ranch for the wedding ceremony and reception. We love the venue because of its rustic beauty, but also because we can have our friends and family stay there with us so we can celebrate with them throughout the weekend.
What are you most excited about for your wedding day?
I'm most excited to marry my best friend. Can't wait to see all of our planning come together with all the people who we love there to witness the special day.
Is there anything you are nervous about for your wedding day?
Nothing, I can't wait!!! We have an amazing team of vendors to take care of the problems, that is why I hired a planner so I don't have to worry or be nervous. I am so excited to see everyone!
What is your wedding theme or concept going to be? What inspired it?
Romantic and Rustic. I love Anthropologie so I had that in mind when buying bridesmaid dresses and creating the feel for the theme of the event.
Did you decide to hire a wedding coordinator? Why did you decide this?
Yes! We needed a coordinator from the start. Both Jef and I are very busy people and we knew to help keep us on track we needed to hire a coordinator through the planning process. Karissa of Coastside Couture, recommended our vendors, kept us up-to-date on our to-dos and basically kept us on track. We can't imagine not hiring a planner and love working with Karissa.
What are some of your favorite wedding planning blogs and tools?
We don't need a planning tool, we have Karissa! :)
Is your husband-to-be helping with the planning? What are his jobs?
Jef had his opinions mainly about the menu and the entertainment. We went and saw a few different local bands to make sure that our guests were getting the most fun, entertaining band so we can cut a rug at our wedding.
What is your best advice to brides who are currently planning their wedding?
Get a wedding planner, they take so much stress off and you know they are going to make your special day the best and you won't have to worry about a thing!!!!!!
Are you planning to see each other before the ceremony for photos? Why or why not?
I am still not sure. I want to get the majority of the photos over so we can spend time with our guests but I also thing it may be amazing to see the look on Jef's face when he gets to see me walking down the aisle for the first time.
What are 3 words that describe how you feel right now?
Excited, Excited and Excited!
