Searching For Talented Planners

August 14, 2012

Preston Bailey Wedding planning

Dear Readers,

Though I am fortunate to have a great planner on staff, no planner is an island. What makes planners so important (aside from their obvious talents) is that they know the ins and outs of their respective locations.

I’d love the opportunity to join forces when I am in your area and would be grateful if you would please list the best planner in your area. What qualities do you feel make this particular planner unique?

As always, there is no shame in knowing your value so please do not hesitate to name yourself.

Lastly, if the planner has a website, please list it.

Blessings,

 Preston

    Dear Preston, thank you for offering another opportunity to learn from you!!
    Event Planning has always been a huge part of my life. My diverse background from organizing political events, corporate events, sports events, fundraisers, weddings, etc in many different countries. has helped me to always look at the planning process from outside of the box. I’m very flexible, fun and easy to work with. My main goal is to make the host of an event feel like a guest at their own party. Events create fun and everlasting memories and that’s the approach I take. I can’t wait to get the opportunity to meet up with you! Thank you!

    Hello, Preston, I think that is great that you are reaching out to planners everywhere you do business! I think the defining characteristic of making a good wedding planner is someone who understands the clients’ vision and delivers on that vision with a complete sense of professionalism, but still maintaining a personal touch in communicating with the client.

    If your business ever brings you to Houston, please reach out. Thanks!

    I have to say that i take credit for being the best planner in CT. However i must give credit where its due. If it werent for the great vendors that i work with there is no way that i could bring to life my clients visions. With that said, the team at Eloquent Occasions in Milford, CT is one of the best planners in CT.

  • http://www.costadelsolevents.net Ruthie Turner

    Hi Preston,

    You are my biggest inspiration and I read your blogs every day! I live in Central Florida and though I’m a wedding planner I still have lots to learn in the industry. However, I can tell you who the best wedding planner is in my area. That would be Tammy Waterman from Special Moments.

    I actually worked with Tammy for 2 1/2 years as an intern and also did my apprenticeship with her so I have learned from only the best in my area. Yes there are some other talented planners but Tammy by far exceeds all expectations. She knows the ins and out of our area and the industry. I owe a lot to Tammy and for this I would consider her to be the BEST in my area.

    Sincerely,

    Ruthie Turner – FL Wedding & Event Planner

  • http://www.blueprintforlove.ca Monica

    Preston, you are my idol and my inspiration. I’ve learnt sooooooo much from your blogs! I haven’t reached to the point of being a really high end luxurious wedding planner, but that is my goal. Wedding planning started as a hobby years ago, then it turned into a passion, which quickly become a calling. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to do wedding planning full-time at this time, but one day, I will pursue this as my full time dream career and become a big name!

    I strongly believe my husband and I have gone above and beyond in all of our clients. Best rewards to me is not the monetary part, it is the public thank you and recognition the couples say to us, when they are giving their emotional thank you speech to their family and best friends. It is when the wedding planner/client relationships end, and we become close friends. To me, these are the best rewards.

    Please kindly consider to list us in your list. Our company is Blueprint for Love, website: http://www.blueprintforlove.ca, located in Vancouver, British Columbia. We are the first and probably still the only husband and wife team of Certified Wedding Planners in Canada (WPICC). I look forward to reading your blog everyday, and absorb new ideas and exciting inspiration from you.

    I would like to recommend Megan Meyers with The Event Connections. I just got married in June and I used The Event Connections during my wedding planning process. Here is their website as well: http://www.theeventconnetions.com. Megan and all of the staff were so helpful in guiding us through everything and helping us make decisions. She made it very easy on us and is very talented. She was so personable, you would love working with her. She is also organized, professional and caring. She puts the needs of her brides first and does anything she can to help them! Anyone I talked to says nothing but good things about her as well! I know this would be a great opportunity for her.

    Hi Preston!

    We had the opportunity to meet you at last December’s ISSE event in Mexico. We were the planners for that event, and would love the chance to work with you!

    I would actually like to recognize Jennifer Warwick-Lewis as the mastermind behind our little wedding planning operation, as she began “It’s a Shore Thing Wedding & Event Planning” 11 years ago in our area. She’s definitely earned a well-deserved reputation for being the “best-of-the-best” along Florida’s Emerald Coast. With her strong attention to detail, flair for organization, and ability to execute the most complex events flawlessly, I have to say that I’m pretty darn proud to be a part of her team. Jennifer has a knack for making people feel at ease and has never (ever … really!) cracked under pressure.

    We are based Santa Rosa Beach, in the Florida Panhandle and primarily specialize in destination weddings and events and our website is: http://itsashorething.net.

    We appreciate your consideration and would be honored to work with you!

    I have been in the industry for over 17 years, and I must say, have been in love with you for most of them. I have all of your books, am in process of getting your certification from LWPI and meet you at the Conde’ Nast Wedding March in New York I believe, or maybe the Atlanta. I have taken to heart much of your teachings and have used your points and referenced your material in the design classes I teach. I am both a floral designer and a certified wedding coordinator as well as a certified green wedding coordinator. I try to bring all aspects of my background to all of my weddings, resulting in many awards, articles and achievements. Thank you for your inspiration and I would love the opportunity to work with you, anytime anywhere!

  • http://www.pure7studios.com Erica Manthey

    I live in the FL panhandle region, which hosts the second highest number of beach/destination weddings aside from Hawaii in the United States. There are many talented planners in our area, but I would have to say that the events coordinated by Jennifer Lewis of It’s A Shore Thing (of which we have photographed about a dozen) are *ALWAYS* flawless. EVERY.SINGLE.ONE! Jennifer and her team coordinate and communicate with their vendors so well, that we have never once been left wondering about one little thing or detail concerning their events. Her timeline is unrivaled and each event we photograph is more spectacular than the next.

    A chance to work with you?? SERIOUSLY??!! I would LOVE it!
    I will have to say it would be a ‘dream come true’ to get to work with you at any one of our ‘Texas-sized’ events! Yep, that’s right. I’m in the great state of Texas, and I would LOVE to show it to you during a future visit!

    I hope you will consider me as your ‘planning partner’, because I’ve got the desire to create ‘signature celebrations’ (like yours!) for all of my clients, just like you!
    I am also the ONLY trained wedding planner through the AACWP of Dallas, that resides almost a 6 hour drive away from the Metroplex (Dallas-Ft. Worth) area, which means I must travel back and forth each month to maintain my associations I’ve met through this organization. It also means that wedding and event planning are my true passion!
    One last mention, Preston, is that we met when you came off the elevator prior to a book-signing at The Idea Factory in Las Vegas, two years ago…..Without hesitation, you signed my book right then, and also later when our paths crossed again, you quickly remembered and came over to visit! You didn’t have to do that, but thank you for being kind and approachable. It truly meant the world to me, just as it would, to be chosen for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
    With fingers crossed!
    Thank you,

    Wendy Lee is a veritable force in the Toronto planning scene. By serendipity, I had the great fortune of meeting her during our wedding preparations, and after signing her, we benefited from her vendor networks, artistic and professional credentials, and meticulous attention to detail, which all came together brilliantly on our wedding day.

    Wendy is the highly gifted, artistic principal of Asian Fusion Weddings, and is a frequent blogger on the industry and her niche business. She has worked on extravagant weddings for domestic and international couples, and her success has brought her to work on weddings in major U.S. markets including New York and California.

    Wendy has my nomination as the best planner in the Toronto and Southern Ontario market, and would be the ideal partner in any joint venture for larger projects in these areas and other regions of Canada and the U.S.

    Wendy’s work has been featured in articles and magazines. Her eye for detail and rare work ethic comes from her own expertise and experience as a certified florist, certified wedding planner, dress designer, among other qualifications, that create the right conditions for a creative, collaborative, and productive partnership to develop.

    Please visit her website and blog for a better idea of her approach and professionalism. More importantly, please contact her to discuss possibilities. I understand she regards your work very highly.

As the host of the 2012 Super Bowl and the home of the first JW Marriott Complex, the possilbilites are endless. I am the Event Manager of Lasting Impressions Event and Wedding Planning. I have just officially finished my website and I will be graduating from college with my degree in Event Management. I have been doing this work for quite some time, but the learning opportunities have just began here. I would love to work with you and show other Event Planners (seasoned and new) that I and Indy has what it takes to work with the great Preston Bailey. http://www.lastingimpressionseventsweddings.com

    , then the next time you’re in the Los Angeles area call us.

    WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY?. I would love to tell you that we have been around since the dark ages. That we planned Cleopatra’s wedding to Mark Anthony, or that the idea for the lighting of the torch at the Olympic games was ours but I doubt that you would believe it and if you did you need more help than we can give. Although, I’m sure I could refer you someplace, Ahh…. But I digress. We love what we do
    We are great at it and you should give us a call. If you want Perfection. And only if you want Perfection. If you’re not sure than don’t call us call some one else. Let’s face it anybody can throw a party. Get a bowl of chips some dip a 12 pack and invite people.

    If you really want to be fancy add that 7 layer dip that everybody has and spruce it up with a box of wine. When you want to go big you rent a hall, run all over town looking for the perfect tablecloths and debate on paper or plastic. Rent some tables and coerce your friend who’s always wanted to be a caterer to cook for you. That’s fine if that’s what you want. However, if you‘ve dreamed of
    Elegant, Sophisticated, Magnificent, Perfection then the next time you’re in northern LA County give us a call

    I must admit, I have not yet graduated to a wedding planner nor do I have some prestigious company that works for million dollar clients. No not I. I am still just a guy who arranges flowers and makes bouquets in hopes of one day sharing my unique gift with the world just as Preston Bailey does. No, I may not be famous yet, but what I am is a boy with a vision and a dream of exciting others with the nothing more than the simplistic beauty of flowers. Some walk by flowers and never notice and others trample on them when they walk thru the park. Never stopping to see how beautiful and colorful they make the world. That is why we have this gift. That is why I want to be like you Preston. You make the whole world awe with your gift to take something as simple as a flower and turn it into a masterpiece. This is why I would love to learn from you. So I can master my gift and give back to the world. Aaron.

    Dear Preston,

    My husband and I have been professional photographers for 10 years and have had the pleasure of traveling to many beautiful venues all over the world. In our minds, we always come back to the gorgeous venues on our local coast in Northwest Florida and to a particular planner who excels in everything she does. Her name is Jennifer Lewis and her company name is It”s a Shore Thing http://itsashorething.net/ In the years past I often thought “man, all of her clients are the best and every wedding is so easy!” In the last year or so I began to learn of everything that she puts into planning the wedding day and the number of fires she puts out that no one, not even the couple, knows about. Not only does she handle issues under the radar, but if we do learn of them, she is nothing short of pleasant the whole day. The other thing I love about her is she takes care of every vendor, making sure they have what they need and are well taken care of. Our venues include Seaside, Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach and many quaint private beach homes. If you are in the area, please do not hesitate to contact her!

    I would die and probably pee in my pants with excitement to get to work with you! My business is almost 4 years old in Dallas. http://www.fabulous-fete.com and look my page up on Facebook. I won a wedding contest out of 13,000 weddings with my own wedding then people told me that I should start planning. I was a home ec teacher at the time, quit and now plan. I always guarantee a “magazine quality” event and about half of my weddings are published in some form or fashion. Please keep me in mind! I know that you did one w four seasons, I asked the girl there all about that, it was so beautiful!

    Barbara Moss at Barbara Moss Events in the Chicago area is absolutely fantastic. She is incredibly professional with a gracious demeanor and a deep well of experience. She did my daughter’s event and we felt as though we were carried through the entire process. It is such a pleasure to speak to different vendors- florists, designers, photographers, etc.- and have each and every one of them tell us how lucky we were to use Barbara because she is such a pleasure to work with. She is beautiful on the inside and out and I can’t highly recommend her enough. Her website is Barabaramossevents.com.

    Breck Bouchard is hands down the best wedding planner in the Miami, FL area. My husband and I were married this past June and Breck was our planner. I am a super opinionated, hyper critical TV producer with definite ideas about how I wanted our wedding to look and feel. In my mind I was producing the best show of my life! Breck’s interpretation of my vision totally blew me away. He exceeded my expectations. From the attention to detail to the clever decor his execution was flawless. We are still receiving rave reviews. Mr Bailey, if you are ever in the Miami area Breck Bouchard is your guy. I just hope I’m invited because I know it will breathtaking!

  • http://www.TheBondgroup.INFO Jocelyn Duerrmeier

    Dear Preston,
    During my first consultation with Breck at The Bond Group I had an instinctual feeling that this man is the best coordinator Miami has to offer. Through our eleven month planning process I found this to be one hundred percent true. His knowledge of the best vendors, genuine work ethic, and tenacious attitude to get the job done is unparalleled by anyone else in the industry. Throughout the process Breck continually said, “It’s all about you.” This perspective towards his work allows a bride’s personality to shine through on her wedding day. He really listened to my vision and matched me with vendors that would not only surpass my expectations but also had personalities that I would click with on my wedding day. This is not all that Breck has to offer. He proved to be a miracle worker when the hotel venue I had contracted made mistake after contractual mistake during the planning process, days before, and on my wedding day. Due to a high turnover rate of the director of catering, we were forced to deal with over four different representatives. Each time Breck communicated to the new rep what was contracted and allowed no detail to fall through the cracks. When the hotel fell short of honoring a contracted space for my welcome cocktail party, Breck was there to not only deal with the issue, but to use his knowledge to come up with three solutions for me to chose from. Although the hotel continually fell short of our contractual expectations, Breck was there to turn hurtles into blessings and coordinated the wedding of my dreams. After living through this experience, I reached out to Breck as I was so inspired by the impact he makes on the industry. This ultimately led to me becoming the newest member of The Bond Group. I hope that one day I too can help influence this incredible industry in such an inspiring way as Breck and obviously you have, Mr. Preston Bailey!

    Here is Breck speaking from the heart about what he does.

    I was doing some other research and stumbled across this tonight. I nominate myself as a designer and florist for all of Mexico but as far as planning itself goes, my friend Leslie from One Happenings for Cabo San Lucas and Myself (Mishka Designs) in Puerto Vallarta. I have been privileged to work alongside some of the best planners in Cancun, Puerto Vallarta (Punta de Mita) and Los Cabos, as my focus is on weddings in Mexico :) . We are nowhere near as published as you are, but we have been thrilled to be published online several times and once in print:). I pride myself on one-of-a-kind handmade details done both by myself and my husband and unique florals which I do all my self, although I have been learning to delegate that more here in Cabos. And Leslie is simply a professional from head to tippy toe.
