Where do I begin? When I started planning my wedding a year ago, I looked into prices for planners to organize the whole event. At that time, I found the quotes extreme and saw no reasons why I would not be able to plan it myself. As the wedding got closer, stress levels were elevated, drama was added to the table and everyone’s threshold for patience dramatically dropped. It was about 4 or 5 months to the wedding that I realized I DEFINITELY need a planner for the Day-Of Coordination at least because I did not want to go through the same chaos on my wedding day. I met with another very well-known local planner. We met and then she disappeared on me after I had mailed her the cheque. She did not respond to my calls or emails for a whole month, later claiming that she thought I was uninterested in her services and was lying about the fact that I had mailed the cheque. I thanked God EVERYDAY after having met Sarah Shore from DreamGroup that things fell apart with the other planner. In our culture, it is customary for the elders in the immediate family to be in charge of the day and having a day-of coordinator was slightly surprising for some and many including my own mother believed that it was unnecessary. My mother is now Sarah’s NUMBERONE fan. She absolutely loved how having Sarah manage the day allowed her to actually enjoy the wedding. Every time that I or anyone in the bridal party was stressed, all we had to do was just talk to Sarah for 5 minutes and we would all forget why we were even stressed. The way that she is so calm and collected is inexplicable. All our guests are still raving about how everything was well planned and organized and it could have NEVER been possible without the help of Sarah. I have said this to Sarah many times that I could never do what she does for a living considering the amount of stress she has to deal with and yet manages to remain soooooooooooooooo calm. I used to think quotes for planners were extreme, now I think they cannot charge enough for the work they do. Seriously, without a doubt, even the thousands of dollars you might end up spending on a planner is worth EVERY penny because otherwise you will not enjoy all the other pennies that you spent on everything else since you will be too stressed out. I will not recommend anyone else as a planner for any occasion. DreamGroup is seriously your dream vendor.
