Happy New Year! I hope that you had a great holiday season! 2015 was definitely a defining year for me and Posh Occasions. I was blessed this year to be able to go full-time with Posh Occasions and have loved every minute of it. I was able to plan and coordinate some amazing weddings and met some of the cutest couples out there. I am so beyond humbled that I get to help and see people on one of the best days of their life and call it my job. I want to give a special thanks to my sweet husband who is my biggest supporter and cheerleader. Without him, none of this would be possible.
I am so excited of what is to come in 2016!! I already have several amazing couples that I have been working with and I can't wait to make their wedding the one of their dreams. I have been so excited to see all of the posts of couples getting engaged over the holidays!! Congratulations! This is a very exciting time of your life! Take it all in and savor the moment, it will go by so fast. Once it all settles in, you will want to start planning immediately... So much to do, where do you start? I have a few suggestions of what you should do before you start booking venues and putting down deposits. First and foremost, determine a budget. This doesn't have to be an exact figure but a round about number of what you are wanting to spend. This number will help you determine almost every other decision in the planning process. There is no right or wrong number, the costs of weddings fluctuate so much depending on what you are looking for. Do some research and find a reasonable amount that you are willing to spend. Second, you will want to write out a guest list. When choosing your venue or caterer, one of the first questions that you will be asked is how many guests will be attending. Venues can only accommodate a certain amount of people so having an idea of how many guests will be attending will determine what type of venue you will want to look at. Third, determine a round about date. When looking for a venue, you will want to give them a date so they can let you know if they have the availability. Be flexible when it comes to the date that you are looking at. Some places offer a discount if you book on Friday or Sunday, especially in the busier months. This is an exciting time in your life. Make sure you are prepared when you start the planning process, it can be overwhelming. If you get to a point where you feel like you need help or you are overwhelmed, get help from a professional. Having someone who you can lean on to help with the planning process will allow you to enjoy every moment that much more.

We used Ashley to coordinate my sons wedding rehearsal dinner at the cordelle. It was a great success. She met with us and outlined everything we needed to know, what we needed to choose and a great list of vendors. She was always prompt to answer follow up questions. On the day of the event she kept everything organized, beautifully set up, and during the event she kept us right on schedule. My guest all commented on what an exceptional dinner and event it was.
