Planning for your wedding is an enormous production, so why worry if all of your hard work and planning will happen as you designed.
Our goal is to help you bring your vision to light. Your Agenda will be followed and your event will flow. All your vendors will know what is expected of them therefore allowing you to relax and enjoy your hard work and planning as I implement the agenda.
Know that by hiring Alycia as your wedding coordinator for the day, everything that needs to take place will be done and you will go off to your honeymoon knowing that one of your best investments was hiring Creative Weddings by Alycia to direct your wedding ceremony and reception.
Services Overview:
Consultation:
We will meet 6 to 8 weeks prior to your wedding date to go over all of the details of your special day. All weddings are unique; your wedding schedule will reflect the choices you make as a couple. The questions I ask you will help you develop a vision for the day, and together we formulate a plan and timeline. I will collect your vendor contact information so that I can communicate with them and inform them of the schedule. I will meet with you again 1 or 2 weeks prior to your wedding to go over any changes and to confirm the schedule.
The Rehearsal:
At the rehearsal, I choreograph and teach every member of your bridal party how they will be walking down the aisle, where to stand, and what to expect. I make the experience pleasant and fun; the goal is for everyone to feel confident and relaxed.
The Ceremony:
I cue all aspects of the ceremony: Letting ushers know when to begin escorting guests, gathering family and friends to pose for photos, setting up the photo shots, handling emergencies that may arise, acting as a liaison with the ceremony site contact person, communicating with the bride and groom so that they know how much time remains before the start of the ceremony, setting up the bridal party for their entrances down the aisle, and cueing the bridal party so they know when to enter. Before the bride makes her grand entrance, I make sure she takes a deep breath, that her bouquet is in hand, that her train is properly spread out behind her, and that she is as relaxed as possible. Once she begins her walk down the aisle, I become an additional family member assisting with children in the wedding party that may get a little restless.
Reception:
I make sure guests have clear driving directions and a map to the reception site. At the reception, I meet with the head-waiter to confirm the schedule that I will have provided him or her ahead of time. I communicate with the DJ, photographer, and videographer to coordinate their efforts and make sure that special dances, cake cutting, and other activities take place at the ideal intervals and that everyone is aware and in place for each event. I keep everything running according to the plan I created with you, making any adjustments as necessary or at your request.

"Tito and I would like to thank you and Lavera for coordinating our wedding perfectly. Everything, from the rehearsal to the last dance went off without a hitch. Not once did we worry about anything. You had absolutely everything planned out for us. Not only were we impressed with your work, our family and friends had nothing but compliments for you. Also, because of your expertise, you helped us save $600 from our florist. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to use us as a reference. We would be glad to refer you to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator."

"I highly recommend Alycia as your wedding coordinator. Shes extremely organized and on top of things, and really caters to your specific desires for your wedding, all the while being flexible and supportive of your vision. Alycia was our wedding coordinator She knows her stuff and how everything should flow together She really can take the loose ends and put it all together for you. Tammy and I had a beautiful wedding in June 09 Tammy and I wanted a very unique wedding different from many other traditional weddings, and Alycia sat down several hours with us, understood what we wanted to put together, and helped facilitate it perfectly on our special day. We were on a budget, and we had tried to figure out how to cut costs, but the wedding coordinator is a must and Alycia is totally worth the investment Theres just too many plans that have to come together before and during the wedding. Theres no way we could have pulled off the wedding without a facilitator/wedding planner, and Alycia was perfect for the job."
