A WEDDING DESIGN & EVENT MANAGEMENT REVEAL

Maybe you're more like Jazzmine & Kenyon. They had already sourced their venue and vendors but needed help branding their day and telling their love story. Their reaction to the room reveal literally brought tears to my eyes. And because we provided decor and event management, they not only had beautiful decor but didn't have to lift a finger on their special day.

Once the wedding approached and deadlines needed to be hit...I got extremely anxious. When you took over, I felt a weight lifted. My entire bridal party and parents raved about you. We loved that we just mentioned an issue and you did whatever needed to be done to take care of it.

"i CANNOT IMAGINE THE NIGHT GOING AS WONDERFUL AS IT DID WITHOUT YOU."

I wanted you to know that our wedding was perfect. I had the best day of my life. I joke with Nareg and tell him I want to wake up and do it all over again. it was so much fun and I truly appreciate all of your help and making it all happen.

Anshwa provided awesome day-of coordination services to us for our 1920s themed wedding, bridal party, and families. She covered the majority of the details for our wedding and any snags that ensued. There were several “incidents” that I learned about in the days and weeks following the wedding, but Anshwa was competent and handled them like a professional so that my husband and I could fully enjoy the day.

"she made the wedding plnning process enjoyable at every turn."

a bit of praise from boss brides like you:

- The Big Fake Wedding

“Anshwa does it all and knows how to handle any curve ball thrown her way.”

the word around town:

SwaLaRue’s work has been featured in a variety of publications.

We recommend you select Day of Coordination Services with us and add on Wedding Planning Coaching for any items you need a little assistance with but ultimately will like to handle yourself. Examples include: guidance on budgeting or resources for vendors. Our Boss Bride Executive Suite includes many resources to assist you along the way. You'll have access to it no matter which collection you choose.

BUT NOT FULL SERVICE?

04. what if need more than day of coordination

Your venue coordinator represents the venue, while I represent you and your soon-to-be spouse. They help provide access to the venue, manage internal staff, and ensure nothing gets broken. Most venues still require you to have a day-of coordinator of your own to oversee all moving parts of the day and assist with vision, design, set-up, and clean-up. That’s what we do!

VENUE COORDINATOR?

03. WHAT IF I HAVE A 

In our 12yrs of experience we want to assure you that 10hrs is sufficient time for the event management services you'll need the day of your wedding. You'll find our offerings include this much time and if additional time is needed we look forward to discussing with you!

ON- SITE THE DAY OF THE WEDDING?

02. how many hours  is your team

The reality is that wedding planning is a time-consuming task. It also requires a great deal of thought and creativity. Even if you’re organized, you can still use a “business partner,” “creative director” or “executive assistant” to help you out. In fact, one of these three may what you need to keep your sanity and close-knit relationships in tact during this time of your life!
