We are in Ithaca, NY. Our service area is where you are! We have ben to Rochester, Syracuse and to Pennsylvania. We often travel to Corning, Elmira and we were once asked to go to Miami, that is a bit farther, but we are willing!
We recommend meeting as often as you need. We will set up our first meeting to go over your Wishlist. We will create a Proposal & Budget and then set up a tasting. We can decide to review linens and decor at that time or make a separate meeting. We can also schedule Zoom meetings to review additional choices and decisions. We will also meet you at the venue for a site visit to layout where you want each element of the wedding to happen. We are here to help make the planning process smooth, easy and fun!
For summer and fall weddings, we recommend at least 10 months in advance. We can also put together a wedding in less time if we are available. If you know you want to use our services but have not decided on a venue or menu, we can hold your date with a Save the Date Deposit.
